Newcastle vs Burnley Prediction

Newcastle equaled their highest-win record last weekend by beating Sheffield United 0-8 at Bramall Lane.

It was a one-way street from the first to the final whistle in Sheffield as the Magpies dominated every single aspect of the game on the occasion.

Head coach Eddie Howe can be particularly pleased with the fact he had eight different men on the scoresheet last Sunday. Kieran Trippier stood out with a hat-trick of assists.

Harvey Barnes’ injury (appears to be a long-term one) was the only negative part to a fairytale weekend in Sheffield for the Magpies.

Newcastle will now search for their third win on the spin in the domestic league as they play host to struggling Burnley on Saturday afternoon at St. James’ Park.

Clarets are still trying to adjust to the top flight life. They took just one point from the inaugural five rounds of the season.

Vincent Kompany’s men own the second-worst defensive record in the league with 13 goals allowed in the inaugural 5 games.

They fell 0-1 at home to Manchester United last weekend and there is really not much to suggest a positive outcome for their fans ahead of the clash against the in-form Newcastle.

Latest Meetings

Newcastle go into this on the back of four wins and a draw in the last five meetings with Clarets.

The Magpies have 19 wins, 10 draws, and 13 defeats in the previous 42 home affairs against Burnley.

Only one of the last three clashes between Newcastle and Burnley saw three or more goals scored.

The Verdict

Newcastle seem to have found the right defensive rhythm after keeping three consecutive clean sheets. Burnley are struggling to get things going in the elite class and we have no other option but to back the home win to nil as the main betting option at the 2.20 odds.

The difference in quality between these rivals is significant and we will also opt for the Magpies to win by two or more goals difference at the 1.90 odds.
