Burnley hosts Sheffield United in round 16 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 29th at Turf Moor (Burnley)
In the last round, Burnley interrupted its 4-match unbeaten run, giving three points to the Peacocks in Leeds. After this defeat, the Clarets are in the 17th line in the standings, and only two points separate them from the relegation zone. Sean Dyche's team has trouble with the attack (only eight goals scored) and obvious problems with defense (20 goals conceded in 14 rounds).

Sheffield United is the only team that has not gained a single victory in the current season. Moreover, the Blades have scored only two points in 15 rounds! Like the upcoming opponent, they also scored eight goals. However, their goalkeeper took the ball out of his net 26 times, and only Crystal Palace conceded two goals more.
Sheffield is in complete prostration, and I don’t understand why Chris Wilder remains in his post. His football players simply do not know what to do with the ball. To make a long story short, the main candidate for relegation from the league has already been determined. In order not to keep it company, Burnley must take advantage of the moment, earn all three points, and flee from the relegation zone. Well, I think the Clarets will be able to gain at least one point. In the last five meetings in Burnley, Sheffield did not gain a single victory and lost three times, and don’t forget that it was in much better shape than now. Now the Blades can boast of only one point scored in seven away games. Both teams have tremendous problems with scoring, so the choice of Under 3.5 goals scored is understandable. The upcoming game is likely to be extremely tense and boring, but the hosts are in slightly better shape, so they will probably manage to gain at least a draw.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 3.5 goals scored
