Burnley vs Newcastle predictions, betting tips and odds | 26/11/2018 |

Rafa Benitez’ Newcastle United will face Burnley at the Turf Moor Stadium as a part of Sky Sport’s Monday Night Football coverage. The away side earned their second victory of the season in last week’s tie against Bournemouth, but do not look favourable to clinch extend this streak this Monday.

Burnley vs Newcastle: odds and predictions

The Clarets are 9/5 favourites in our Burnley vs Newcastle predictions and betting tips, with the away side wagering as 17/10 outsiders and a potential draw trading at 21/10.

The odds have not been in Newcastle’s favour this season. They failed to win their first ten games of the season, despite claiming back-to-back wins in their latest games. Their mini-resurgence may be halted by Sean Dyche’s team whom Newcastle have not won against at top-flight level since December 1975.

Leading the charge for Burnley is Ashley Barnes and Sam Vokes; both men have been in amongst the goals, but against a side managed by the wily tactician that is Benitez, Vokes’s physical strength may come in handy.

The 29-year-old is betting at a 5/1 pick to score first, but there is every chance that Barnes may beat him to it.

This does not bode well for a Newcastle side that has conceded 15 goals in 12 games with only nine goals to their name. If they are to take anything away from this game, their attacking players will need to be operating at peak efficiency, chiefly in Solomon Rondon.

The Venezuelan striker scored his first Premier League goals for Newcastle in their 2-1 win against Bournemouth last time out and with the odds set at an 11/2 forecast for him to score again in our goalscoring betting tips, there is a strong chance he’ll repeat his successes.

Burnley vs Newcastle predictions: score, best bet, scorer tips

Predicted score: Burnley to win 2-0, trading @ 11/1

Dyche’s men have been one of the most inconsistent sides of this season, alternating between victory and defeat in their last seven Premier League games.

This means they are projected to win against the Magpies this Monday after losing against Liverpool prior to the international break and spearhead our Burnley vs Newcastle predictions.

With a compact defensive unit, the Claret’s conservative style of defending encourages a counterattacking style of play, and we’re wagering that they’ll sit back and hit Newcastle on the counter to emerge as 2-0 winners.

Best bet: under 2.5 total match goals, forecast @ 8/15

This fixture has not been a goal-fest in the past, and given that Newcastle’s Premier League games this season have seen the fewest total goals (24), we’re projecting the trend to continue in our Burnley vs Newcastle betting tips.

Under 2.5 total match goals is the latest pick in the build-up to this Monday’s game, and could be the most innocuous bet of the tie.

The home side are averaging a goal a game, with their opponents not doing any better, yet up against a defensively unstable Newcastle team, the odds will surely work in Burnley’s favour.

Scorer tips: Chris Wood to score first, tipped @ 11/2

Despite only bagging the solitary goal this season, Chris Wood is still priced at an 11/2 favourite to score first and brings up the rear of our Burnley vs Newcastle predictions.

Wood has been a nuisance during corners and set-plays, which will work in Burnley’s favour, considering that they like to play with their full-backs pushing high up the pitch and exploiting every inch of width possible.

So far, the New Zealand international has only scored one headed goal, but we’re forecasting him to add to this against Newcastle, with the odds trading at 11/2.
