Burnley vs West Brom: Preview and Predictions

Burnley vs West Brom
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, 6th May 2017
Kick-off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Turf Moor, Burnley.

Burnley welcome West Bromwich at Turf Moor on Saturday. The hosts are in the good mood after beating Crystal Palace on the road last weekend with 0-2.

West Brom have prolonged their losing streak to four games and they will be hoping to see the light in the tunnel on Saturday.

Burnley

After registering the first away win of the season, Burnley will be looking to improve their home form as they were beaten in 4 out of last 5 outings at Turf Moor. They earned 29 out of 39 points this season in home games, and in order to secure another season in English top flight, they will be looking for three points against Brom.

In 17 games this season at Turf Moor, Burnley managed to win 10 and draw 2 games, while they were beaten on five occasions.

West Brom

Along with relegated Sunderland, the guests are in the worst form in the league – they even failed to score in the last 5 Premier League outings.

West Brom are probably without motivation since with 44 points they occupy the 8th position which is already a success. In 16 confrontations on the road this campaign, WBA registered only 3 victories and 6 draws, while they were beaten 7 times.

Burnley vs West Brom: Head-to-head

Albion crushed Burnley in the first half of the season at the Hawthorns with 4-0. Burnley are without a win against WBA since 2008 FA Cup tie. However, the guests are more than 15 years without a win at Turf Moor since their last win came within a Championship round back in ’02.

Burnley vs West Brom: Prediction

Burnley will be motivated to seal the elite football in the next season against underperforming West Brom. Also, the hosts will look for a chance to return the favor for November’s defeat.
