Huge action at the bottom of the Premier League standings will take place on Friday evening, as Burnley and Luton collide at Turf Moor. A draw won’t be a good result for either of these sides, as only a win will take them closer to the safety positions in the EPL.
Before Betting On Burnley vs Luton
An old-fashioned six-pointer in the Premier League will be staged on Friday, with both Burnley and Luton desperately looking for maximum points to aid their survival chances. Burnley come into the showdown with the overall advantage based on previous meetings, as they have gone seven without a defeat against the Hatters. Meanwhile, they are looking to complete a first league double over their rivals since a second-tier campaign in 1994-95.
However, Luton have enjoyed their trips to Turf Moor since the 90s, as they have gone seven without defeat at Burnley. Over that period, they have played out four draws, with Luton landing three victories. Burnley’s latest home win over Luton was achieved in March 1995.
Matches between newly promoted sides in the Premier League this term have been incredibly enjoyable. That is mirrored by the fact that 13 goals have been scored in the three fixtures, meaning an average of 4.1 per game. That is the highest average of matches between newly promoted sides in Premier League history.
Burnley’s home form may still be a concern for many, as they have lost nine of their ten at Turf Moor. In Football League history, only Newport Country have ever endured a poorer start to a home season when they lost ten of their opening eleven home matches.
