Burnley, currently 19th in the English Premier League, faces a crucial match against Newcastle United. Burnley's position in the relegation zone, with 15 points, necessitates a strong performance to gain ground in their battle to avoid relegation. Their recent form has been poor, with a nine-match winless streak in the league, including seven losses. At home, Burnley's advantage has diminished, recording only one draw and four losses in their last five home games. Newcastle United, positioned 8th with 30 points, aims for a spot in the UEFA Europa League, creating an equally strong incentive to win. Burnley's attack has struggled, scoring only seven goals in their last nine league matches, averaging less than 0.8 goals per game. Key players are unavailable due to injuries and international duty, including Lyle Foster and Zeki Amdouni, significantly weakening their attack. Additionally, Josh Cullen's possible absence further affects their midfield control. Burnley heavily relies on set pieces, making it difficult to score against well-organised defences. Newcastle United's away form shows weakness, with only one win in their last 12 away Premier League games, averaging less than 0.5 goals per game. Their attacking options are also limited by injuries to Elanga and Osuare, which may hinder their ability to score against Burnley's defence. The match is likely to have under 3 goals.
