Sunday's Premier League action includes an interesting game between two teams that don't really have much to fight for. The Clarets have already been relegated, while the Villans are highly likely to secure a top-five place, even if they lose this game, plus they've just qualfied for the final of the UEFA Europa League, which means that this fixture is unlikely to be a priority.
The hosts are down and out, and let's face it, they've not been good enough, not at either end of the field, though they did show some signs of offensive life last week against Leeds, scoring and creating a few decent chances. Against a Villa side that won't really care too much about this game, a side that worked hard to qualify for Europe on Thursday evening, the hosts could give their fans something to shut about offensively. Unfortunately, even against a visiting side that has one eye elsewhere, they lack the defensive strength to keep things tight, leaving 'Both Teams to Score' on the table as a decent play.

Our Burnley vs Aston Villa Prediction
Sure, the hosts have nothing to play for, but that also means that they have nothing holding them back. Michael Jackson's men can play with freedom at Turf Moor, and as they bid to give their fans something to shout about, they could very easily do some damage against a Villa team that hasn't exactly been keeping it tight at the back in recent weeks, especially away from home.
If we also consider what happened when the teams met earlier in the campaign, then a bet on both to notch on Sunday looks far the worst idea at odds of -125.
