A massive relegation six-pointer is set for the Premier League on Friday night, as Burnley and Luton both chase a massive victory that could aid their relegation prospects. A win for the visitors would lift them out of the bottom three this week.
Premier League Preview
A massive match is set for the Premier League on Friday, as two sides that currently sit in the bottom three places will lock horns. Burnley will have the important home advantage, as they look to record just a fourth victory this term. However, they come into this match after losing each of their last two in the league, and three of their previous four.
Things are looking slightly brighter for Luton at present, as the Hatters could move up to 17th if they are able to claim maximum points on Friday. Luton have won two of their last three matches in the Premier League, and they will be looking to return to form after losing their last match in the English top-flight.
This will be the fourth match between the newly promoted sides this term, and if the previous encounters are anything to go by, then it should be a thrilling fixture. The previous three matches have seen a total of 13 goals scored, meaning an average of 4.3 goals per game. That is the highest average for matches involving promoted sides in Premier League history.
It could be worth considering Burnley’s home record this weekend, as they have lost nine of their ten matches at Turf Moor. They are already the first team in top-flight history to endure that run of form to start a home season, while only Newport County have ever lost ten of their opening eleven home matches in Football League history.
Burnley vs Luton Head to Head
Burnley boast an impressive record in this fixture after going seven without loss against Luton in the league. Meanwhile, they could complete a first league double over the Hatters since 1994-95 on Friday. However, Luton are unbeaten in their last seven trips to Turf Moor.
Burnley vs Luton Prediction
This is a massive match in the Premier League for both of these sides. However, we are prepared to take a chance on Luton claiming maximum points, as they have an excellent record at Turf Moor, and Burnley have lost nine from ten at home this term.
