Burnley vs Newcastle Prediction 4 May 2024

The match between Burnley and Newcastle, which will take place in the 36th round of the Premier League, promises to be heated. The teams are not direct competitors, but each has its tasks to solve. The guests are fighting for European cups, while the hosts are fighting for the right to stay in the Premier League. Who will be stronger at Turf Moor on May 4th?

Losses

The hosts cannot count on five players. These are Colecio, Ramsey, Redmond, Al-Dahil, and Bayer. All these guys would definitely strengthen the squad, but they have been in the infirmary for a long time.

The guests also have a bunch of key losses. Botman, Trippier, Lascelles, Targett, Willock, Joelinton, Almiron, Pope – all of them are important for the team, however, Eddie Howe cannot wait for their return to action. Let's not forget about Tonali, who is disqualified for a long time.

Head-to-head

Newcastle's domination in head-to-head with Burnley is beyond doubt. The "Magpies" have beaten the opponent in 5 Premier League matches in a row. Betting on another victory for the "black and whites" can be done at 2.03.

The referee and fouls

The match will be officiated by one of the most prestigious English referees, Anthony Taylor. He is not stingy with yellow cards, issuing an average of 5 warnings per match. And this is despite the fact that Taylor does not eagerly record fouls, preferring to let the opponents play. The average figure is 22 infringements per match.

Home team Burnley cannot be called a rough team. They commit fouls 10.6 times per game, for which they receive 1.4 yellow cards. This is one of the best indicators in the current season.

Newcastle also does not like to play rough. Only 10.8 fouls and 2.2 yellow cards on average in away matches – very low indicators. They indicate that Eddie Howe's team focuses on beautiful football.

Even with Taylor's presence, the match is unlikely to be rich in "mustards". We suggest playing total yellow cards less (4.5) at 1.6.

Team reviews

Burnley, contrary to many experts' expectations, fights for survival until the last. The "Clarets" put up a fight even against top opponents, scoring regularly. However, they also concede on a regular basis. Kompany's team exchanges goals with opponents in 7 out of the last 8 matches. Betting on this can be done at 1.48.

Newcastle is very good despite personnel difficulties. The team achieves victories without insisting on ball possession. Therefore, by the average number of corners (4.8), it is close to the league's outsiders. The "Magpies" deliver fewer than 4.5 corners away in 6 out of the last 7 matches – a promising option for betting at 2.35.

Editorial prediction

Burnley players will be highly motivated for a victory, but the problem for them is that Newcastle, fighting for European cups, will also not play half-heartedly. As we found out, the "Clarets" are a convenient opponent for the "Magpies", so we undoubtedly bet on the victory of the guests at a coefficient of 2.03.
