There will be important action in the Premier League on Sunday, as Burnley finally look to turn their season around when they host Bournemouth. It could be a huge opportunity against the Cherries, who come into the weekend on a long winless run.
Premier League Preview
It has been a miserable season to this point for Burnley, but board members have reiterated that there is no pressure on Vincent Kompany. The Clarets remain in the bottom three spots in the league standings after suffering a joint league-high of 19 defeats this term, which includes defeats in each of their last three matches in the competition.
Things are also looking far from perfect at Bournemouth at this stage, with the Cherries far from safe from the threat of relegation. They come into this match sitting 14th in the standings, but they are just eight clear of the drop zone. Their recent form would be a pressing concern after losing two of their last three matches.
Burnley’s home form has been an Achilles heel throughout the campaign after losing ten of their 13 matches at Turf Moor. That is the most dome defeats that they have suffered in a single campaign, and they have recorded just one win. Defensively, they have been poor throughout the season, highlighted by the fact that they have conceded at least three goals in eleven matches this term.
However, Bournemouth also have their own questions to answer this weekend after going seven without a win. That poor run of form comes after winning seven of nine in the Premier League. Four defeats have been suffered across their last seven matches, with just three fixtures ending in draws.
Burnley vs Bournemouth Head to Head
Burnley holds the record based on previous meetings between these sides after suffering just one defeat in their last 14 at Turf Moor against the Cherries. Bournemouth won 2-1 against the Clarets earlier in the season, and they are looking to record their first ever league double over their rivals on Sunday.
Burnley vs Bournemouth Prediction
This is a really tricky game to call in the Premier League this weekend, with neither side bring much form into this clash at Turf Moor. However, another nail could be put into Burnley’s coffin, as Bournemouth have been edging closer to a return to winning ways in recent weeks.
