Burnley vs Brentford prediction and betting tips on March 16, 2024
One of the fixtures of the 29th round of the English Premier League will take place on Saturday at Turf Moor, where the local Burnley will host Brentford. Will the "Clarets" manage to secure points at their home ground? Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Burnley
The "Clarets" are struggling to gather points in the current season, and it is challenging to envision Vincent Kompany's side miraculously retaining their place in the elite division. At present, Burnley occupies the second-to-last position in the league table, having garnered only 14 points from 28 matches. This is ten points less than Nottingham Forest, who are currently in a safe position. Last weekend, Vincent Kompany's side played an away match against West Ham, where they led 2-0 at halftime but failed to maintain the advantage, settling for just one point. This draw extended Burnley's winless streak in the Premier League to ten matches.
Brentford
Under Matthew Benham's leadership, the team demonstrated an excellent level of play last season, finishing near the European qualification zone. However, in the current Premier League campaign, the "Bees" cannot boast such results. After 28 rounds, Brentford sits only in 15th place and has a five-point cushion from the relegation zone. In the previous round, Matthew Benham's charges visited London, where they put up a fight against Arsenal. Although conceding first, the "Bees" managed to equalize, but Arsenal ultimately secured victory thanks to Havertz's precise strike in the 86th minute. Consequently, Brentford has been unable to secure a victory in the last five consecutive matches.
Interesting facts about the match and the history of personal encounters
- In the first round, the "Bees" defeated Burnley at their home ground with a score of 3-0.
- Only in two out of the last six matches did both teams score.
- In three home matches, Burnley defeated the "Bees" twice, with one match ending in a draw.
