Burnley hosts Leicester City in round 22 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 1st at Turf Moor (Burnley)
Burnley was perceived as an average performer in the Premier League. And it was purely the merit of Sean Dyche. He has brought the Clarets from the Championship twice. Moreover, they even became the "champions of the rest of England". That is, Burnley finished right behind the top six and tried its hand in the European competitions. And, most importantly, the manager managed to leave the club in the British football elite from year to year. Now this goal seems extremely difficult to achieve. However, Burnley has not capitulated yet. And one of the trump cards in the battle for salvation is Wout Weghorst. The ripped Dutchman was bought from Wolfsburg after Wood was sold to a direct competitor, Newcastle. And Wout immediately began to score and make assists. He became the hero of the victorious match against Brighton. As for the away game against Crystal Palace on Saturday, Luka Milivojevic's own goal helped the Eagles level the score. Now Burnley is ranked 18th, but Everton is only one point ahead.

Leicester will probably just play out the season, hoping for the victory in a quite modest tournament. At the beginning of winter, Brendan Rodgers admitted that he knew nothing about the Conference League. His men left the cup, limply losing to Nottingham Forest. As for the Premier League, the Foxes dropped to a lower part of the standings. And you know that they desperately fought for the top four in the previous seasons. Now there’s nothing to fight for at all. There are too few points to just keep the right to play in European competitions, even the Conference League. In general, Leicester players need to appreciate what they have. On the other hand, there is not even a theoretical risk of relegation to the Championship. After two victories over Randers (4-1 at home and 1-3 away), the Foxes received a long rest, as the game against Chelsea did not take place due to the cup final. However, Rodgers didn’t use all the regulars in the Conference League.
Leicester won three of the last six head-to-head matches and suffered only one defeat. But at the same time, both last games between these clubs ended in a draw. Bookmakers give a small preference to the visitors. But Burnley is a stronger opponent than Randers. The Clarets will fight for points, but they are unlikely to take risks. We bet on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
