Burnley vs Newcastle United prediction and betting tips - May 4, 2024
One of the matches of the 36th round of the English Premier League will be played this coming Saturday at Turf Moor, where the local Burnley will host Newcastle United. Will the Claret's manage to secure crucial points with the support of their home crowd? Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Burnley
In the previous season, the Clarets topped the Championship table, but upon entering the elite division, the team encountered significant challenges. Burnley still has a chance to secure their spot in the top flight, trailing Nottingham Forest, who occupies the 17th position, by just two points. With 24 points from 35 matches, Burnley sits second from bottom in the league table. Last weekend, Vincent Kompany's side played an away match against Manchester United, securing a draw with a 1-1 scoreline. Burnley has only suffered one defeat in their last five matches, yet they have only managed to secure victory in one encounter during this period.
Newcastle United
The Magpies lost numerous points in the autumn and began to demonstrate relatively stable results only after exiting European competitions. At one point, it seemed like their bid for European spots was out of reach. However, Manchester United wouldn't be themselves if they didn't do everything possible to revive the fight for sixth place. In the last round, Newcastle hosted Sheffield United at home and secured an impressive 5-1 victory. This win marked Newcastle's third victory in four Premier League matches. In terms of their away statistics, Newcastle has secured only four victories in 16 matches, suffering defeat in 10 encounters.
