Burnley

After the retirement of Sean Dyche, Burnley traveled to visit West Ham United. The team looked quite decent against the European Cup challenger. In the first half Burnley took the lead through Weghorst, and it was before the break that Cornet could have increased the team's lead only to fail to convert the spot-kick. In the final stretch of the game the club failed to retain the advantage, as Soucek sealed the tie 1-1. Following the results of 31 games, Burnley have 25 points and sit 18th in the EPL table.

Expert Betting Tips

Most of the last face-offs at the Turf Moor turned out low-scoring, with Total Under (2.5) goals scored. However, when looking at the statistics, the reverse line prevails in recent seasons. It is the Total Over I suggest we take as the main bet. Burnley will fight to the last, not to fly out of the EPL. The Saints have their own tasks: in case of victory in the upcoming match, Ralph Hasenhüttl's team can return to the top ten of the table. We expect a highly productive game at Burnley.
