Preview | September 30

Newcastle United-Burnley

Burnley look to end Newcastle's winning streak.

Newcastle | WWLLL | 8th | Top Scorer: C. Wilson (4)

Newcastle's unimpressive form can be seen in the table. They have dropped down to 8th. A closer look at Newcastle's attack this season shows they have averaged 14.5 shots per match (6.8 of which have been on target). That shot accuracy has contributed to their season average of 2.12 xG (expected goals) per match coming into this one. Dan Burn has put in some fantastic performances defensively, winning 7 tackles and making 6 interceptions so far this season.

Burnley | LDLLL | 19th | Top Scorer: L. Foster (2)

Burnley come into the match looking for a boost of confidence after taking just 1 point over their last 5 matches. Burnley need to pose more of a threat going forward. Over the last 5 matches, they've only achieved an average xG of 0.74 (2nd lowest in EPL). They'll be hoping Jordan Beyer can help with more solid defensive work. So far this season, he's made 10 tackles (13th in the EPL). Keeper James Trafford has felt the pressure as of late, allowing 13 goals in his last 5.

Newcastle-Burnley Prediction: 2-0

Newcastle's solid defence should be the foundation for another three points.

Did you know? The most common scoreline between the two teams in Premier League history is 2-1, which has occurred three times.

Can Newcastle win and make it 3 out of 3? After being winless for so long, will Burnley finally claim 3 points? Find your favourite market and place your bet at PokerStars Sports.

Man United grab all three points on the road.

After a scoreless first 45 minutes, Bruno Fernandes opened the score for Man United in the 45th minute following an assist by Jonny Evans. This lone goal proved decisive, as Man United held on to beat Burnley and take all three points.

The Overview

  • With what little of the ball United had (39%), they were creative with it, generating 11 shots.
  • Despite the loss, the Clarets had plenty of chances of their own, getting away 12 shots in the match.
  • The scoreline could have been more impressive if United had their shooting boots on, with their shot accuracy down at 36%.

The Details

Diogo Dalot posed a threat out wide, leading the team in crosses. The Clarets completed 233 more passes than United, but it came to nothing in the end as they left with a loss.

Man United's run of poor form finally comes to an end. Meanwhile, Burnley's mixed form continues.

  • Spurs' accuracy paid off well, 50% of their shots were on target.

  • The Clarets didn't generate enough chances, only mustering nine shots throughout the contest.
  • The scoreline could have been more impressive if the Villans had their shooting boots on, with their shot accuracy down at 38%.

Burnley – Season Preview

Nickname: The Clarets
Stadium: Turf Moor (Capacity 21,944)
Manager: Vincent Kompany (BEL)
Last Season: 1st (Championship)

After relegation in 2021-22, it only took Burnley a single season to return to the top flight with Vincent Kompany at the helm. With over 100 points and just three defeats in the league last year, Burnley will be hoping to build a strong case for survival, maintaining their Premier League status for more than a single season. 

Key Player: Josh Brownhill

Midfielder Josh Brownhill played a pivotal role in Burnley’s promotion last season. Scoring seven and assisting eight, he ended up in the EFL Championship team of the season alongside three other Burnley players. Having also featured in 78 Premier Leagues for the Clarets during their previous campaigns, his experience will be invaluable for the upcoming season. 

Star Signing: James Trafford €17.30m

England U21 Penalty-shootout hero James Trafford saved the spot kick that secured the European Championship and will hope to carry that form forward for newly promoted Burnley. A deal seemingly built on the connection between Kompany and City, Trafford takes the number one shirt for Burnley and will be starting in the league for the first time.

First Match: Manchester City (H) August 11

The Championship champions host the Premier League champions in the opening Friday night fixture. It doesn’t get much more difficult than hosting Pep Guardiola and his treble-winning side, but former City captain will know this side better than any other manager. Can the Clarets make amends for the 6-0 FA Cup thumping they received last season?

Predicted Finish: 14th

The direct and defensive football Burnley used to be known for under former manager Sean Dyche is a thing of the past. With Kompany at the helm, Burnley are a much more attacking and creative outfit. Scoring over 100 points in the Championship is no mean feat, and while safety should be straightforward, a respectable lower-mid-table finish is likely.

Can Burnley avoid the drop and stay in the Premier League for another season?

Burnley - To avoid relegation: 1.29

(odds correct as of July 31, 2023, and subject to change)

Did you know? Burnley started life as a rugby team under the name Burnley Rovers. In 1882, members decided to change their codes to football making them one of the founding members of the Football League.
