Burnley vs. Tottenham: Preview and betting tips

A rich Saturday football programme will offer Burnley and Tottenham. The home side are without a point, while the visitors are on a roll, having lost only two points so far. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Burnley have not started the season well. They put in a decent performance at home against Manchester City despite losing, but against Aston Villa they were already squeaking. With the second leg against Luton postponed, the newcomer is without a point so far.

Tottenham, on the other hand, are a pleasant surprise. Seven points in three rounds, including a 2: 0 triumph over Manchester United, counts, the new coach Ange Postecoglou is developing an offensive concept of the game despite the departure of Harry Kane.

Burnley’s key figures

The mainstay of the home side is Josh Brownhill The English midfielder was included in last season’s Championship top line-up during the week. A lot is expected from Zeki Amdouni at the tip of the attack, the Basel hitman has been silent so far.

Tottenham’s key figures

James Maddison is having a great start to his new engagement, the English midfielder has scored one goal and assisted twice. Ronnie van der Ven is thriving in the middle of the defence, the Wolfsburg signing is on a roll so far.

What to expect and what to bet on?

Burnley’s attack is the main problem, they have managed to score more than once in only one of their last six games. This is also due to the departure of their top scorer, last season’s Championship top scorer Nathan Tella has returned to Southampton from a loan spell.

Tottenham, though, crashed out of the Carabao Cup during the week. Apart from losing to Fulham on penalties, only Barcelona have beaten them in the last seven games in the fixture, while Shakhtar Donetsk, for example, have given them a five-goal lead.

Considering Burnley’s poor form, its so far dysfunctional defence, which got six goals in two rounds, and the well-functioning Spurs, I think the visitors can win.
