Newcastle will be looking to continue their excellent recent run of form on Saturday, as they welcome Burnley to St. James’ Park. Burnley are yet to land victory this season, and this looks to be a challenging fixture on paper this weekend.
Before Betting On Newcastle vs Burnley
Newcastle have recovered well since making a shaky start to the new Premier League season. Eddie Howe’s side come into this weekend after winning each of their last two, and the confidence within the team should be high after a huge 8-0 away win against Sheffield United last Sunday.
That success was their biggest in the league since an 8-0 home success against Sheffield Wednesday. Eight different players found the back of the net last weekend, which also set a new Premier League record. The Magpies have a fine recent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last four against the Clarets.
An interesting trend to consider this weekend is the fact that only one team that have recorded a victory by an eight-goal margin have gone on to win their next fixture in the league. Burnley are yet to record a Premier League victory this term, and they were edged out by Manchester United at Turf Moor in their most recent fixture.
The Clarets have a poor record on the road against Newcastle, as they have gone nine without a victory since a 1-0 success in April 1976. It is the fifth time in nine Premier League seasons that Burnley have failed to win in their opening five matches at the start of the season. Only Newcastle have gone winless over the opening month more frequently in Premier League history.
