Burnley welcome the visitors Southampton in the English Premiere League – Round 25. The match will be held on Saturday, February, 2nd, at the Turf Moor (Burnley).
Compared to their last-year position, Burnley have receded much in this campaign – the 7th line versus the present 17th one with the relegation buffer of just 4 points. The main team’s task these days is to keep their place in the elite division. Burnley’s record is not impressive – they made 25 goals and allowed 45 (one of the league’s worst stats). In the new year, the hosts’ performance improved a bit, and they managed to gain 2 wins and 2 draws. They feature the no-loss streak of 5 games so far, and in the last round, they ended level against Manchester United out, allowing in the extra time. Thus, the players are in good spirits and are highly motivated before the kick-off, as they need to increase their breakaway from the drop zone.

The visiting Southampton take the 16th tier, running ahead of their Saturday hosts by the goal difference – they made 26 goals and allowed 41. Same as Burnley, the ‘Saints’ revived in the second term and suffer no loss in 4 successive matches as for now. They won Leicester City out, 1:2, gained a home 2:1 win over Everton, and drawed against Crystal Palace, 1:1, in the last round. The players will look to win on their travel, to avoid the relegation area. It is noteworthy that of 10 latest encounters, Southampton failed to net in only 2.
The Saturday football sees a meeting of two Premiere League outsiders that need to detach from the drop zone as far as possible. So either side will be motivated. Neither Southampton, nor Burnley are blistering in defense, both sit among the league’s worst contenders by this parameter. But the opponents’ attacks are fine. In this campaign, Burnley have scored in 9 home rounds and failed to do so in only 2. They will probably manage to net to the leaking ‘Saints’ 1 goal at least. Southampton’s performance has significantly improved after the break, and they are capable to convert 1 of their opportunities as a minimum.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
