A Tale of Two Extremes
Key Stats
– Tottenham have scored twice in every Premier League game under Postecoglou.
– Tottenham’s ball possession stands at an impressive 61%.
Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur, two teams on vastly different trajectories this season, prepare to face each other this Saturday at Turf Moor. There’s a stark contrast: one team, despite their past glories, is struggling, while the other continues to impress.
Burnley’s Disheartening Return
Under the helm of Vincent Kompany, Burnley, despite a dominant Championship campaign last season, have found life back in the Premier League challenging. Their struggles, punctuated by their recent defeats, highlight the difficulty of transitioning between the divisions. They’ve been granted brief respites, such as their recent EFL Cup victory against Nottingham Forest, thanks to a late goal by Zeki Amdouni. Yet, the harsh realities of the Premier League have kept them grounded.

Burnley’s fixture congestion was eased slightly, given Luton Town’s stadium development. But, despite the extended rest, they couldn’t capitalise, falling to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, despite Lyle Foster’s efforts. This game against Spurs isn’t their only worry; difficult fixtures against Manchester United and Newcastle United loom on the horizon.
Tottenham’s Resilient Form
In sharp contrast, Tottenham, under the stewardship of Postecoglou, look formidable. They’ve secured a comfortable spot in the top three of the Premier League. Spurs’ attackers have been in scintillating form, especially evidenced by their recent victory over Bournemouth, with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski both finding the net.
Yet, it’s not all rosy for the Lilywhites. They were dealt a bitter blow, crashing out of the EFL Cup at the hands of Fulham. This loss means another potential trophy route is closed for Spurs, who are eager to end their trophy drought.
Team News & Form Guide
Burnley, although still fighting in the EFL Cup, have seen a spate of injuries plague their campaign. Vitinho, Aaron Ramsey, and Hjalmar Ekdal’s recent injuries against Nottingham Forest have exacerbated their woes. Tottenham, however, aren’t without issues. Richarlison’s recent injury in their game against Fulham raises questions about his participation against Burnley.
Burnley’s last five matches in all competitions have been a mixed bag (L, L, W), whereas Tottenham, despite their recent hiccup against Fulham, have shown form (D, W, W, L).
Predictions
1. Tottenham to Win (Win-Draw-Away Market) Tottenham Hotspur are undeniably in the ascendancy. Occupying the third spot on the Premier League table, they are a side in blistering form, with successive victories over prominent teams such as Manchester United and Bournemouth. Their attack, under Postecoglou, has been particularly lethal, having scored in all of their Premier League fixtures this season.
While Burnley might have enjoyed domestic success in the Championship, their current Premier League journey has been less than stellar. With a noticeable gap in form and league standing, Spurs emerge as the clear favourites to pocket three points. The statistics back this assertion: Spurs maintain an impressive average rating of 7.25, standing second in the Premier League, compared to Burnley’s 20th position with an average rating of 6.61. While every game has its uncertainties, the data suggests that Tottenham are poised to continue their winning spree.
2. Correct Score Prediction: 0-2 in favour of Tottenham Diving into the details, Tottenham have averaged two goals per game, keeping two clean sheets in their three league matches. Conversely, Burnley have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just once in their two league fixtures and conceding a whopping six. Given the defensive vulnerabilities of Burnley, coupled with Tottenham’s offensive prowess, it’s feasible to predict Spurs might net twice. Considering Burnley’s challenges upfront, especially with their top scorer Lyle Foster having scored just once, a clean sheet for Tottenham seems plausible.
3. Goalscorer Prediction: Heung-min Son to Score Heung-min Son, the dynamic South Korean forward, stands out as a key player for Tottenham. He currently boasts a commendable BettingTips4You rating of 7.53. With Spurs’ offensive machinery working smoothly under Postecoglou’s system, Son, who is known for his clinical finishes and swift movements, is likely to find opportunities to score. While players like James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have also been in fine form, Son’s experience and proven Premier League track record position him as the probable candidate to get on the scoresheet. Furthermore, given Burnley’s defensive woes, as evidenced by their recent concessions, a player of Son’s calibre could exploit these gaps and make his mark on the game.
