Newcastle vs Burnley prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-12-05 15:00.
[p]Newcastle and Burnley may both reside in the bottom half of the Premier League table, but they have very different ambitions for the remainder of the season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A topsy-turvy midweek clash with Tottenham saw Newcastle twice take the lead only to twice be pegged back. That 2-2 draw saw Eddie Howe’s men miss the chance to put more pressure on the European places, although it did stretch their unbeaten league streak to three matches (W2, D1), and with all those games coming against sides currently above them in the table, they should be confident of hosting struggling Burnley. Newcastle have won all three of their home league games this season against sides currently below them in the table, and having won five of their last six Premier League games at St. James’ Park against newly-promoted opposition (D1), that streak seems likely to extend here.[/p]
[p]It’s hard to make much of a case for Burnley not being the next victim in that statistic here, as another limp showing in midweek saw them go down 1-0 against Crystal Palace. Scott Parker’s side have now lost five league games in a row, a run which has not only seen them slide into the bottom three, but also get cut four points adrift of safety as they look likelier than ever to make an instant return to the Championship. Hitting the road is unlikely to inspire any belief of a turnaround starting here, as the Clarets have lost six of their seven away league games this term (W1), conceding a league-high 21 goals along the way. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Newcastle have dominated this fixture of late, winning each of the last six Premier League H2Hs. Burnley’s last away league win against Newcastle came way back in 1976 (D4, L6 since).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Seventeen of the 21 goals in Newcastle’s home league games this season arrived after half-time.[/p]
[p]Newcastle have scored first in six of their seven home league games this season.[/p]
[p]Burnley have conceded a league-high eight away goals after the 75th minute this season. [/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Burnley-born Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes has been involved in six goals in seven personal H2Hs against the Clarets (G2, A4). Burnley may look to Lyle Foster for inspiration given that his last five Premier League goals came on the road, all of which arrived later than the 40th minute. [/p]
[p]Big-money summer signing Yoane Wissa could make his long-awaited injury return here, but former Burnley men Nick Pope and Kieran Trippier look set to miss out. Burnley have no new injury concerns.[/p]
