Bournemouth v Burnley Betting Tips [7 January 2023]

Burnley have had a good season so far under Vincent Kompany and look primed for an immediate return to the Premier League. They will however shelve their league ambitions for the FA Cup as they travel to the Vitality Stadium to take on AFC Bournemouth. In contrast, the home team hasn’t enjoyed much this season, and coming into this game they will be glad to put aside league duties, where they are just one point above the relegation zone. Bournemouth come into this game on the back of four straight losses and they’ve also failed to score in those four matches. Their 3-0 win over Everton back in November was the last time they tasted victory. With just two wins in 10 matches, they will definitely head here as underdogs, and especially seeing that they have one clean sheet only in 10 matches, and also one in six at home. In their last three matches, Bournemouth have conceded at least two goals in each.

This is a game Burnley will be happy to take in; they have four wins in their last five meetings with Bournemouth, though they lost 2-0 in their most recent. Burnley will bank not only on their form against Bournemouth, but also their recent form, which has them on eight wins in 10 matches. In that period, they’ve only lost to Premier League side Manchester United in the League Cup, and Sheffield United in the Championship. The 2-1 win over Swansea in their last outing was the eighth time in 10 games that they scored two or more goals. The goal conceded in that game was the first for Burnley in three matches and they have failed to score in just one of their last 26 games while they come into this one with four clean sheets in the last seven. In their last six away matches, Burnley have two losses and four wins.

Burnley will go into this game with the upper hand and playing a topflight side away from home will not faze them. Bournemouth’s scoring run has been poor and they’ve suffered because of that. They take on a Burnley side with a good scoring run and also solid defensively. The visitors haven’t lost a lot in recent times and for this Bournemouth v Burnley game, we will go for Burnley to win with a clean sheet.
