Burnley vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Burnley have been sliding down the Premier League of late and are only three points above the bottom three. Starting the weekend in 15th, they could struggle again when hosting third placed Leicester City. The home side have lost seven of their last nine league games and each of the last four, conceding eight goals and scoring just once. A form guide for the last five league games has them in 18th place and with games against Manchester United and Arsenal after this game, Burnley are heading for a relegation battle. Home form is poor too with four defeats in the last five league games, conceding at least twice in all those defeats.

Leicester City are still third in the table but also not in the best of form. City have lost three of their last five league matches but all were against the top two and in-form Southampton. They start the weekend 15 points behind league leaders Liverpool but 11 ahead of fifth placed Manchester United. Leicester are still doing well on their travels though and have six wins in the last seven, the other being a loss at Manchester City. Their style suits away games better and up against a struggling Burnley side can get a welcome win.
