Match Preview
Tottenham Hotspur will host Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, 16 August, in what promises to be an intriguing Premier League clash. Spurs have shown a mixed bag of form recently, with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five matches. In contrast, Burnley arrives with a perfect record over the same period, boasting five consecutive victories. This stark difference in current form could play a crucial role in the outcome of the match.
Historically, Tottenham has had the upper hand in their encounters with Burnley, winning six of the last ten meetings, but the Clarets have proven to be resilient opponents, claiming three victories themselves. Given the odds, Tottenham is favoured to win at 1.55, but with Burnley’s recent form, they may pose a significant threat. The odds for both teams to score (BTTS Yes at 1.95) suggest a potentially open match, especially with Spurs needing to bounce back after their inconsistent performances. Expect an exciting contest as both teams look to assert their ambitions early in the season.
