Burnley F.C. welcome the visitors Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. in the English Premiere League – Round 16. The match will be held on Saturday, December 8th at the Turf Moor (Burnley).
Burnley are winless eight consecutive games yet. Apart from that, the team racked up only two points within the last two months. Such bleak results can be explained by the ‘Clarets’’ failing defense. Burnley played ‘to nil’ only in one of their last ten matches, hardly opposing to Leicester though. On their turf, the team managed to keep a clean sheet only in the match versus Bournemouth, in the rest six home fixtures of the English Premiere League, the ‘Clarets’ have conceded fifteen goals. At this, the hosts have scored in five of their seven home matches, failing to net to Chelsea and Manchester United only.

Brighton are in good form now. They’ve managed to rack up seven points in their last three fixtures, shipping six goals at this. The ‘Seagulls’ are actually more effective this season than before; they have recorded nineteen goals already. Moreover, Brighton have been scoring in eight games in a row now, and they failed to find the net only in the clashes with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Watford which had a great start to the campaign. The guests’ defense is still not great, however. They’ve been failing to play ‘to nil’ in five consecutive matches yet; on their travels to Cardiff and Everton, they even contrived to miss five goals in total.
The coming match odds on the total are not too correct. Both teams were mostly effective this season. Brighton scored over two goals in their eight matches, and Burnley scored same in their nine EPL fixtures. The ‘Clarets’ netted at least twice in their eleven games, and the ‘Seagulls’ did in twelve, which is not surprising given that Brighton score and miss 2.7 goals per match on average and Burnley do 3.1. So, in the latest three Burnley’s matches, the bet on Over 2 goals turned a push at least, while West Ham scored two goals minimum in their last five fixtures. Considering this, we may expect goals in the coming encounter.
Prediction for the match: Over 2 goals.
