Burnley hosts Tottenham Hotspur at Turf Moor for their third consecutive Premier League home game. The Clarets returned to the Premier League after an electric run in the Championship last season under Vincent Kompany. However, they have had a rough start in the Premier League, losing their opening two games at home to City and Aston Villa.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur, under the new Australian manager Postecoglou, has had a promising start to the season with a 2-2 draw against Brentford, an impressive home win against Manchester United, and an away win against Bournemouth. To help you select the best bets, we will be providing you with our Burnley vs. Tottenham betting tips and predictions.
Burnley out to get their first Premier League point
Burnley sits pointless at number 18 in the Premier League after two games, having played one game less. Their week two fixture against Luton Town was postponed due to some ground works at Kenilworth Road. Our Burnley sports betting prediction is that they will be looking to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa last weekend. They will be taking confidence from their hard-fought victory against Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup.
Burnley displayed strong dominance in the contest with about 60% ball possession. Their reward came in the 90th minute when Zeki Amdouni latched onto Josh Brownhill's head pass to see them through to the next round. Moreover, this victory came at a cost. Hjalmar Ekdal, Aaron Ramsey, and Vintinho were injured in the match and will not be available for selection in the fixture against Tottenham. Kompany will also be without Michael Obafemi, Darko Churlinov, and the suspended Anass Zaroury.
Tottenham in search of third consecutive win in the EPL
After a draw and two victories in their opening three fixtures, Tottenham now sits joint second on the Premier League table with seven points. They seem to have been adapting well to life without their star striker, who left for the German champions in search of silverware.
The Lilywhites will be looking to get back to winning ways after their heartbreaking early exit from the EFL Cup on Tuesday. Richarlison's 56th-minute goal had taken the game to a penalty shootout to cancel out Van de Ven's own goal in the first half. Fulham won the shootout after Davinson Sánchez’s miss from the spot.
Our Tottenham sports betting prediction is that Postecoglou will make a change in the team that played against Fulham. We may yet again see Bissouma, Maddison, and Pape Sarr featuring in the midfield. Destiny Udogie, Bryan Gil, Ryan Sessegnon, James Whiteman, and Rodrigo Bentancur are yet to return from injury.
