If it's a stackful of goals you want to see then supporting Burnley isn't the greatest of ideas. They only scored 36 goals in the Premier League last season but conceded just 39. This season is proving no improvement and over 90 minutes their last three games have all ended 0-0. The last seven games in all competitions have seen under 2.5 goals scored over 90 minutes so you can guess the way this tip is going. They opened their league season with a goalless draw at Southampton, that was sandwiched inbetween two games with Istanbul Basakhesir in the Europa League, both ending goalless over 90 minutes. Burnley managed to get a 1-0 win in extra time to reach the play-off round. Extra time on a Thursday night isn't great preparation for a weekend Premier League game but at least it was at home.

Watford got their season off to a good start with a 2-0 home win over Brighton and Hove Albion with both goals being scored by Roberto Pereyra. It's their away form that Watford need to improve on this season after a disastrous second half last term.that saw them earn just one point from their last 12 away league matches and no goals in the last eight. In fact the last time they scored an away league goal was January 2 and if they keep that kind of form up this year then they'll need an almighty home record to keep them in the Premier League. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
