After two consecutive victories in Premier League and escape from the rock bottom position, Burnley only drew at home against Aston Villa with a 1:1 result last weekend. Cole brought the visiting side into 1:0 lead in 38th minute and it looked for a long time that the visitors will get all three points.
However, hosts upped their tempo in the last quarter and took a point thanks to penalty kick from Ings in 87th minute. Still, has to be said that if anyone would feel unsatisfied with the result – it should be guests who did more on the field and could have scored the second time on many occasions during the second half. Midfielder Matthew Taylor (3/0) and forward Sam Vokes are both sidelined through injury. Central defender Michael Duff (12/0) and defensive midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah (4/0) are both doubtful and it won’t be surprise if the coach decides not to risk them in this match.
After a run of six consecutive victories in all competitions, Newcastle suffered defeat last weekend when the team visited West Ham and surely showed their weakest performance in weeks – hence, were deservedly defeated. Only goal was scored by Cressewell in 56th minute.
Guests did have some good phases, but it was simply too little in comparison to their previous games, while they couldn’t push in last quarter, as one of their players – Sissoko got red carded in 76th minute. After this defeat, they slipped down to ninth position, but still having only three less than Champions League placed Manchester United. Bunch of players are once again out for them, as
they can’t count at suspended midfielder Moussa Sissoko (13/1) and defensive midfielder Jack Colback (13/0). Daryl
Janmaat, Massadio Haidara and Michael Williamson are all having injury problems, but have traveled with the squad. Obertan, de Jong, Aarons and Taylor remain long term absentees.
Once again, Newcastle missed bunch of players, but they made a great run without most of them playing. Burnley is on a nice run at the moment, but winning here would be too much for them right now. Draw can’t be excluded, but the visiting side surely has some more quality and experience.
Bet: Newcastle 0 Asian handicap
