Burnley take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 4 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 2nd at Turf Moor (Burnley).
After two consecutive losses in the league, Vincent Kompany's team finally tasted victory by defeating Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the League Cup. However, the players expended quite a bit of energy during the week, and Burnley doesn't have the deepest bench. In the Premier League, Burnley have suffered two defeats against Aston Villa (1-3) and Manchester City (0-3). This isn't surprising, given the tough start to the season for a team that has returned to the top division of the country. The third round won't be any easier as they face Tottenham, who have had an excellent start to the championship. It's unlikely that Burnley will concede more than three goals to Tottenham, but they may struggle to score even 1-2 accurate shots themselves.

Londoners have had a surprisingly strong start in the championship, collecting seven points from three rounds. While they couldn't defeat Brentford on their turf (a 2-2 draw), the Bees are a formidable opponent. However, Spurs subsequently secured victories at home against Manchester United (2-0) and away against Bournemouth with the same scoreline. As you can see, they haven't scored more than two goals in any of their matches so far (plus there was a League Cup match against Fulham that ended in a 1-1 draw in regular time). However, Tottenham has conceded only twice in three Premier League matches. What's my point? Ange Postecoglou's team could very well play a clean sheet against Burnley.
On paper, the visitors are clear favorites and should secure the customary three points. However, when bookmakers set their odds, they still leave room for belief in Vincent Kompany and his team. Frankly, I believe in the Belgian coach as well. His team at home could easily hold Tottenham to a draw. However, outright victory seems unlikely. Along with the X2 bet, I'll also go for Under 4.5 goals. I don't expect many goals in this match. Yes, both teams played in the League Cup during the week, but not with entirely reserve squads. Footballers aren't robots, and their fatigue, especially at the start of the season, can prevent an overly high-scoring encounter in the next Premier League round. Moreover, Burnley and Tottenham don't often produce high-scoring matches when facing each other. In five of their last six head-to-head matches, a bet on Under 2.5 goals was successful, and in the last three such encounters, only one goal was scored.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham not to lose and Under 4,5 scored goals.
