Burnley vs Newcastle Prediction 04.05.2024

• Competition: England - Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 4th, May 2024
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16.00 CEST
• Venue: Turf Moor (Burnley)

Burnley will be seeking to bolster their Premier League survival hopes by grabing valuable points against top-six hopefuls Newcastle United at Turf Moor on Saturday.

A returnee to the Premier League this season, the Clarets have spent the entire current campaign in the relegation zone, but despite that, they still have the opportunity to retain their top-flight status. Vincent Kompany's chosen ones are currently second from bottom in the league standings 24 points to their name, just two points shy of 17th-placed Nottingham. With three remaining fixtures on the schedule, Burnley will need to snatch much-needed points in the upcoming two league showdowns to decide their fate in a head-to-head clash with Forest on the final day of the season.

Despite their less-than-stellar campaign compared to last year when they finished in Champions League spots, Newcastle Utd still cling to hope of salvaging this season by at least securing a cozy spot in the top six. Currently, Eddie Howe and his boys occupy a respectable seventh spot with 53 earned points, just one points behind Man Utd, who holds the final European ticket. In their previous outing, the Magpies continued their quest for UEFA Europa League football by sweeping Sheffield Utd in a 5-1 drubbing to send the Blades to the second tier of English football - Championship.

Burnley vs Newcastle United Betting Tips: 1X (DOUBLE CHANCE)

It's a tough match to call, but we still hope that Burnley, with the home advantage, will continue their late-season surge and get something out of this clash against a Europa League chasing side. Even if they possess more quality on paper, Eddie Howe's men cannot be trusted much when playing away from home, having been condemned to loss in three out of their last four Premier League visits, conceding a staggering nine goals in the process. While they looked like a safe passenger to the Championship for most of the season, the Clarets have woken up at the most opportune moment and now enter Saturday's clash with good momentum, having suffered only one loss in their last eight top-flight matches. 

Following their 4-1 demolition of already-doomed Sheffield Utd, Vincent Kompany's rejuvenated side earned a golden point in their battle against the drop by netting a late equalizer in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford against Man Utd. Admittedly, the Magpies are the favorites for victory in this one, but their frequent struggles away from home, with only three wins in their last 13 away matches in the division, suggest that resurgent Burnley might be able to hope for a positive result at their Turf Moor, where they have remained undefeated in three straight matches.
