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.
