Burnley v Newcastle Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Monday 26^th November 2018 (Kick-off 8 PM)

On Monday night, Burnley host Newcastle in a potentially crucial game at the bottom end of the Premier League table.

Both of these teams have made poor starts to their Premier League campaign and have collected nine points each so far this season. Their respectable poor starts currently see the pair just a point outside the relegation zone.

Burnley head into this game on the back of a five-game winless run in the English top-flight, consisting of three defeats and two draws. Last time out, Sean Dyche’s team drew 0-0 with Leicester at the King Power Stadium.

The Clarets solid defensive foundations from the last few seasons have seemingly crumbled this season. In fact, the team from Lancashire have now conceded at least four goals in three of their last four League matches.

The visitor’s recent Premier League games have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches.
