Burnley vs Bournemouth Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Burnley are at 11/10, a draw is at 23/10, and Bournemouth are at 27/10.  

Burnley start the 27th round of fixtures in a safe 11th position as of now.  They have taken 34 points, which has them on the cusp of securing their PL safety for another season.  They have been on a roll of late as well, winning three times and picking up ten points in their last four games.  That has helped them nearly achieve their goals despite having a negative goal difference.  They are not quite the form side of the PL, but they are not far off from it.  

Bournemouth, meanwhile, will begin the weekend in 16th place on 26 points.  That has them only two ahead of Aston Villa for the final relegation spot, so there is a lot of pressure on them to perform here.  They have taken a slight amount of pressure off via two recent wins, but they have still lost three of their last five, including their last outing.  That places them under more, as the relegation picture is constantly shifting and changing.  

Burnley’s home record so far has been quite interesting.  They have six wins and six losses to go with one draw, so it’s usually very much feast or famine for them.  They have seven points from their last five, so this illustrates their level of up and down.  The Cherries’ away record has been far from pretty.  They have only ten points- via three wins and a draw- out of 13 games.  They have only 11 goals on the road, and they have lost four in a row ahead of this trip.  

Betfair have no for both sides scoring at 1.87.  

Ladbrokes have Burnley scoring first at ¾.  

Burnley vs Bournemouth Match Prediction

There just isn’t much of a reason to go against Burnley here.  They have been culpable in the past of losing following some big runs, but they have everything in their favor this time around.  

Correct Score Prediction: Burnley 1-0 Bournemouth

Burnley Team News

Sean Dyche will continue to miss out on the services of Ashley Barnes, Matt Lowton, and Ben Gibson due to injuries for this fixture.  Johann Gudmundsson is back fit and will be available, while Chris Wood is set for a late fitness test to see if he will be cleared to feature.  

Burnley Key Man

Vydra’s goal was notable and exquisite, but we expect to see Chris Wood turn out here.  The Kiwi has scored (and played) far more consistently, racking up ten PL goals to this point.  You have to think they will do everything in their power to have their main man leading the line.  In the center of midfield, Ashley Westwood just keeps on flying under the radar.  He scored, again, last time out, and he keeps on being an integral part of the side, though he does not get much recognition for his abilities.  

Burnley Team Form

Burnley have three wins, a draw, and a loss in their last five matches:

1-2 win at Southampton
0-0 home draw vs Arsenal
1-2 home loss vs Norwich (FA Cup)
0-2 win at Manchester United
2-1 home win vs Leicester

Burnley Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Bournemouth Team News

Eddie Howe will be missing the suspended Jefferson Lerma in the middle of the park here.  Five others are ruled out, all due to injuries, with Arnaut Groeneveld, Lloyd Kelly, Charlie Daniels, David Brooks, and Chris Mepham representing those.  

Bournemouth Key Man

Bournemouth will be pleased that Joshua King got a run out last weekend, and he might just be ready for a full start here.  The Norwegian has not had his finest season for them, but he has been a big miss thus far and could spark them back into life having not left for Manchester United.  Alongside him, it looks like Callum Wilson might be getting himself back into form.  He scored last time out in a loss to the Blades.  That’s two in his last four, taking him up to seven this term.  

Bournemouth Team Form

Bournemouth have three losses and two wins in their last five matches:

2-1 loss at Sheffield United
2-1 home win vs Aston Villa
1-2 home loss vs Arsenal (FA Cup)
3-1 home win vs Brighton
1-0 loss at Norwich

Bournemouth Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

There is a whole lot of positivity at the moment for the hosting Clarets here. They have won some big games recently and are six points from sure-fire safety. Plus, they have dominated Bournemouth of late. Add to that the fact that the visitors also have lost four in a row, and you have to be fairly confident in them to win. It will likely be a lot more difficult than it seems on paper, but the Clarets are the team with momentum at present.
Burnley have won each of the last three clashes, and four of the last five, with Bournemouth ahead of this meeting
