A huge match with implications on both ends of the Premier League standings will take place this weekend. Burnley could move out of the relegation places with a home victory, while Newcastle could move into the top six with a success on the road.
Premier League Preview
There will be intense pressure on both Burnley and Newcastle United coming into this latest round of matches in the Premier League. The Clarets have just two home matches remaining this term, and they remain just two points from safety. Huge confidence would have been taken from their recent draw at Man United, meaning that they have avoided defeat in their last three.
Burnley appear to be hitting form at the right time of the season, but they will still be relying on favours from other sides if they are to remain in the top-flight. The Clarets showed excellent character to grab a late equaliser against United last weekend, but they have still won just five matches this term, meaning only Sheffield United have won fewer.
Newcastle’s European hopes remain in tact at this stage of the season, as the Magpies sit seventh in the standings. They boast a four-point advantage over West Ham, and they could move up to sixth if they are able to claim victory in the Premier League this weekend.
Newcastle come into this round of matches in fine recent form after winning three of their last four, while they have suffered just one defeat over that period. They bounced back to form with a 5-1 home win over the Blades last Saturday. However, their away record would be a concern ahead of this showdown after winning just four of their 16 matches on the road this term.
Burnley vs Newcastle Head to Head
Newcastle have an excellent record in this fixture after winning each of the last five Premier League matches between the sides. Meanwhile, Burnley have recorded just one victory in the last ten league matches between the teams. Their only away victory came in the EFL Cup in August 2021.
Burnley vs Newcastle Prediction
There will be huge pressure on Burnley this weekend, as a victory could lift them out of the relegation places. Given Newcastle’s issues on the road, we would be keen to take a chance on the home victory on Saturday.
