There’s a pivotal relegation clash on Saturday afternoon, as winless Bournemouth host struggling Burnley at the Vitality Stadium. The two sides are currently languishing in the bottom three and will be desperate to get three points on the board.
This looks like a very tough game to call, so before you look at the sports betting odds for the game, make sure you check out our exclusive tip and get your expert’s verdict on this key fixture.
Andoni Iraola has experienced a torrid start to life as Bournemouth manager. He is still looking for his first league win and recent defeats to Wolves, Everton and Arsenal have left the Spaniard clinging to his job.
Goals have been the main issue for the Cherries, they have managed just six in nine games, the lowest tally in the division. Iraola needs to find a solution to that huge issue if he wants to move his side away from the relegation zone.
It’s also been a tough start to the season for Burnley. They have lost all five of their home Premier League games, many of them convincingly. Their form away from Turfmoor has been marginally better, but Vincent Kompany’s men still have just four points so far.
As with Bournemouth, Burnley are struggling in front of goal. Their tally of seven goals is especially disappointing given the excellent creativity they have in their ranks.
Bournemouth have won six of their eight Premier League games against Burnley. They were also victorious in the last encounter between the teams, an FA Cup third round fixture back in January 2023. Overall, Burnley have 16 wins over Bournemouth, compared to just seven wins for the Cherries.
Bournemouth are marginal favourites for the win and can be backed at 6/5. The visitors are available at 12/5, with the draw priced at 11/4.
This is a very tough game to call, but our betting bonus tip for the game is for a narrow home win. Bournemouth are completely out of form, but this could be the game to get their season going. Burnley play a very open style that is easy on the eye but leaves them susceptible defensively.
Both sides will be nervous throughout this contest, which could lead to plenty of mistakes. Expect a close game, but Bournemouth’s home advantage, plus Burnley’s defensive frailty could see the Cherries finally record a win.
