Burnley vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Prediction
Burnley’s recent rise was given a reality check on Sunday as they fell 2-0 to Chelsea and they will hope for recovery when they host Manchester City at Turf Moor. The Sunday loss saw Burnley drop to 16th place in the league standings, with 22 points, while Manchester City are top with 44 points. It has been a tough season for Burnley, though in recent matches they have shown they have what it takes to deal with the demanding fixtures. Wins at Liverpool and home to Aston Villa saw them rise but came unstuck against Chelsea. Even in the Chelsea loss, they managed to frustrate their hosts and they won’t want to drop the ball just yet. The Clarets have maintained their compactness in defence and have added some improvement in attack, which have seen them rise away from the relegation zone. They have five wins in the last 10 league matches and have scored in five of them. Their matches have not been high scoring; seven of the last 10 in the league have been decided by singe-goal margins. Burnley have come out of league matches with under 2.5 goals in eight of the last 10. In the last 11 league matches, they have conceded two goals or more in just two games but they have also scored two or more in only two of their last 10.
Manchester City’s title chase is on course and will hope history plays out as they take on Burnley. They have not lost to Burnley in 12 straight meetings, winning 11 of those. With seven straight wins over the Clarets, scoring 28 goals and conceding one, they are outright favorites. City also go to this game unbeaten in their last 19 matches, and have 12 straight wins. In their last game, they took on a hard fighting Sheffield United but still managed to win 1-0. The result presented a fifth straight clean sheet in the league for City, who have scored 13 goals in that run. They have eight straight wins in the league and only failed to score in one of the last 10.

Our Burnley vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City are clear favorites here, but facing Burnley will not be easy. The hosts have already claimed wins against top 10 sides and will sure give City a run. Burnley defend deep, which is sure to cause City some problems but the league leaders experienced the same with Sheffield United. While City have been scoring a lot, Burnley haven’t and we expect the hosts to employ a defensive strategy. Under 2.5 goals for this game should be good.
