Bournemouth vs Burnley prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-12-19 15:00.
[p]Burnley travel to the south coast to face an out-of-form Bournemouth knowing that defeat would see them equal a top-flight club record that has stood for over 130 years. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After Bournemouth beat Nottingham Forest at the end of October, they were second in the Premier League and served as Arsenal’s closest challengers. Fast forward almost two months and the Cherries haven’t won a league game since (D3, L4), a run which has seen them drop down the table to the 13th position they start this round in. A thrilling 4-4 draw with Manchester United on Monday night bookends that winless run, and despite it being their longest winless Premier League streak since a 13-match stretch from May-October 2023, Andoni Iraola can take heart from the fact that run was ended with a home win against Burnley, with that also serving as his first-ever Premier League win in charge of the club. [/p]
[p]It’s difficult to envisage anything other than another Burnley defeat given they’ve now slumped to seven Premier League losses in a row after last weekend’s 3-2 reversal against Fulham. A chorus of boos greeted the full-time whistle, and with chants of “you don’t know what you’re doing” aimed at boss Scott Parker, toxicity is rising in East Lancashire. That’s only set to intensify with another loss here as it would see Burnley equal an all-time club record in the top flight of eight successive defeats, something they last did in 1895. Former Bournemouth boss Parker knows that is an ignominy that could force the hierarchy to pull the trigger, and seven defeats from eight away league games this term (W1) suggest the writing is on the wall.[/p]
