Newcastle vs Burnley prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2023-09-29 14:00.
Having become the first team in Premier League (PL) history to have eight different goalscorers (excluding own goals) in a single game in their 8-0 drubbing of Sheffield United last weekend, confidence has perhaps never been higher at Newcastle. Another newly-promoted side now await in Burnley as Newcastle look to follow up their joint-biggest PL win against a side manager Eddie Howe has ties to having managed there over a decade ago.
Thereâll certainly be no sentiment from Howe towards his former employers here, with his Newcastle side doing the double over another of his previous clubs in Burnley two seasons ago, including securing a victory which relegated the Clarets! Youâd fully expect the Magpies to build upon that here too having never lost a home PL H2H against Burnley (W3, D3) as they go in search of back-to-back home PL wins for the first time since April.
Burnleyâs winless start to the PL season (D1, L4) continued with a 1-0 home defeat against Manchester United in an unusual Saturday night kick-off slot. It was still a positive performance by Vincent Kompanyâs side, who couldnât turn their statistical advantage into points, but their boss insists âresults will comeâ if they keep their performance level high.
Collecting those results early in the season has proved tricky for Burnley, but with this game rounding off a run where five of their opening six league matches came against sides finishing in last seasonâs PL top-eight, more âwinnableâ games are on the horizon. That doesnât mean they wonât be coming to win here, but to do so they simply have to tighten up at the back, with Burnley yet to keep a PL clean sheet this season.
Key battle: Formerly of Burnley, Newcastle right-back Kieran Trippier became only the second player in PL history to assist three headed goals in a single game against Sheffield United. He could have his hands full to contain Burnleyâs newest star Luca Koleosho, who starring on the left wing, has seen the opposing right-back yellow carded in the Claretsâ last two PL games.
Hot streak: Burnley have conceded exactly once in their last five PL away games.
