Stoke v Burnley Betting Tips – Premier League 22nd April 3.00pm
Stoke’s survival situation in the Premier League didn’t get any better on Monday night as they conceded a late goal at West Ham to throw away points in a draw. It was a good effort by Paul Lambert’s men but they need wins. On the weekend they face up to a Burnley side who have been in fantastic away form recently and so on top of their effort, Stoke are going to have to try and find a bit of quality from somewhere. They desperately need maximum points out of this.
Stoke News and Form
The Potters have failed to win any of their last ten league games. They nearly managed to pull out a success at West Ham on Monday night but shipped a 90th-minute equaliser. That was a hammer blow for them. But the Potters showed plenty of fight, tremendous effort and they need all of that with a spattering of quality to try and get safe. Stoke have lost their last three home games and have taken just two points from their last five home fixtures. During that run of five home games, Stoke have produced only the three goals. Both teams to score at bet365 should be a decent option at even money* (Betting Odds taken at 3:52 p.m. on April 17th, 2018) because Stoke just have to throw everything at this now, plus they are pretty poor at the back. Stoke have scored 18 goals in 17 home games this season, netting in their last two, but they have shipped exactly two goals in each of their last three home games. In the bet365 correct score market the 1-1 draw is the shortest-priced option at 11/2 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 3:52 p.m. on April 17th, 2018).
Burnley News and Form
Well, it has been some stunning away form from the Clarets who are knocking on the door of Europe next season. They are on a three-match winning streak away from Turf Moor at the moment having beaten West Ham, West Brom and Watford. They have taken their chances well and in that little away winning streak, Burnley have slotted home at least two goals in each of them. Overall home and away they have been scoring well lately, with Chris Wood having had a good time of things. The striker has scored three goals in his last three away games and is the bet365 6/5 anytime goalscorer favourite* (betting odds taken on April 17th, 2018 at 4:17 p.m.) for the game. Burnley’s away form reads W7 D6 L4 for the season and they have lost just one of their last five (W3 D1) away from Turf Moor. While they are known for their defence, they have conceded in five of their last six away games, so over 2.5 goals may be worth a flutter as each of their last three away games have gone above the line. Notably Burnley have already won away at Southampton and West Brom, two of the other current bottom three in the league. That’s all with them having only scored 19 goals in 17 away games, but they have conceded at an average of under a goal per game.
Stoke v Burnley Head to Head
Burnley collected a 1-0 home win over Stoke earlier in the season and that is back to back home wins that they have collected over the Potters. Burnley have lost just one of their last six against the Potters in the league now in a W3 D1 L1 record. Both teams have not scored in each of the last four meetings now and five of the last six have gone under 2.5 goals.
