Newcastle v Burnley Betting Tips [4 December 2021]

Newcastle United and Burnley have the lowest winning rate in the Premier League and are justifiably stuck in the relegation zone. The two face off in the 15th round of matches, with Newcastle playing host. Ahead of the game, the hosts are bottom of the standings with seven points while Burnley are 18th with 10 points. Newcastle missed a golden chance to rise from the foot of the table in their 1-1 draw with 19th placed Norwich City and in the game, Ciaran Clark was sent off and will miss this game, and two more. The Magpies are still in search of their first win of the season across all competitions and they’ve conceded the most goals (30) in the league up to this point. In seven home league matches, they have no clean sheets and have conceded two or more goals in five of them.

Burnley have one win this season and will be looking to add on it here. They get to this game on a much better run than Newcastle United, having gone unbeaten in their last four matches. Twice in their last four matches, Burnley have scored three goals and their 1-1 draw with Chelsea should build the confidence they need going into this game. Away from home in their last five matches, Burnley have only lost to Manchester City; they’ve drawn the other four. Twice in their last five away league games, Burnley have failed to score.

Newcastle are yet to win a game this season and they meet a Burnley side with a shaky run as well. Going to this game both sides will be eyeing three points to rise from their current placings. In their recent runs, a draw seems the most likely outcome.
