Burnley go head-to-head against Bournemouth on Sunday. Read our Predictions and Betting Tips with Match Preview, Head-to-head stats (h2h) and Team Form Analysis.
This match will be played on 03/03/2024 at 10:00
Turf Moor will host Sunday’s football game between Burnley and Bournemouth, the two teams who were beaten by Aston Villa and Man City respectively at the weekend. The Clarets are eager to put an end to their three-game and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Cherries. Midfielder Josh Brownhill is banned for the match, while all Lyle Foster, Aaron Ramsey, Nathan Redmond, and Luca Koleosho remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, failed to win the previous seven league matches. As Burnley are eager to keep their survival hopes alive, we are tempted to place our bets on Vincent Kompany’s troops. Tyler Adams faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter, while all Max Aarons, James Hill, and Ryan Fredericks continue to miss out with injuries. Defender Lloyd Kelly should be fit for the match.
How the bookies view it
Bournemouth are a shade below evens here at 19/20 with Wjcasino.
Burnley can be backed at 29/10 with UniBet and the draw is 14/5 with William Hill’s.
Recent head to heads
Bournemouth edged out Burnley at the Vitality back in October, although Burnley took the spoil the previous season in the FA Cup.
Players to watch
Zeki Amdouni was sacrificed in last week’s loss at Crystal Palace after Burnley went down to ten men in the first half so he should be fresh enough for this. But he’s scored six goals so far this season which is respectable and the Swiss is 10/3 to score with Coral.
Dominic Solanke continues to be Bournemouth’s danger man after an impressive 16 goals so far this season in all competitions. The former Liverpool striker is 13/10 to score anytime with Wj casino.
Recent Meetings
- Burnley have five wins in the last seven meetings with the Cherries.
- Bournemouth picked up a 2-1 victory in the reverse game in this Premier League term, though.
- We’ve seen three or more goals in five of the previous seven head-to-head encounters between Burnley and Bournemouth.
Burnley vs Bournemouth Prediction
Neither team will enter the tie in high spirits. The outcome of Sunday’s game may well depend on the injury status of Bournemouth’s talisman Dominic Solanke. Big Dom was not in contention for the midweek’s loss to Leicester through an injury and his status ahead of the trip to Turf Moor is questionable. That said, Bournemouth are still the favourites to claim the spoils on Sunday. Burnley took just 5 points from 13 home outings in this term of the Premier League. The hosts shipped three or more goals in four of the previous five league affairs. It is very hard to look past the away win pick at the 1.95 odds.
Alternatively, we will go for the Over 2.5 goals pick at the 1.66 odds. We’ve seen at least three goals in each of Burnley’s last five league games. Moreover, both teams were on target in four of Bournemouth’s previous five Premier League outings. Recent head-to-head tradition also points towards a high-scoring scenario at Turf Moor.
