Burnley v AFC Bournemouth: Match Preview & Odds

AFC Bournemouth’s trip to Burnley is a game of huge importance at the bottom end of the Premier League table

Burnley host AFC Bournemouth at Turf Moor on Sunday in the first of a Premier League double-header during the afternoon. Whilst Manchester City v Manchester United is the day’s standout fixture, AFC Bournemouth’s trip to Burnley is a game of huge importance at the bottom end of the Premier League table. Here at betting.bet we’ll preview this key fixture, providing betting tips and match insights as well as the latest form and odds from our betting partners at Betfred.

Form

Burnley go into the weekend 11 points from safety in the Premier League having taken just 13 points from their 26 matches so far. The Clarets are winless in eight league games and have lost their last three by an 11-1 aggregate scoreline.

Burnley’s last league game at Turf Moor ended in a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal whilst their most recent match was a 3-0 loss away at Crystal Palace.

Premier League highlights: Crystal Palace 3-0 Burnley

AFC Bournemouth have not fared much better in recent weeks and are now winless in seven league games of their own. Bournemouth are 13th in the league with 28 points from 25 matches but will probably count themselves unlucky to lose 1-0 at home to Manchester City in their most recent league game.

Burnley v AFC Bournemouth: head-to-head

AFC Bournemouth ran out 2-1 winners when these sides met at the Vitality Stadium earlier in the season. Charlie Taylor had put Burnley ahead before Andoni Iraola’s side hit back with goals in each half from Antoine Semenyo and Philip Billing.

Betting tips

It’s really difficult to predict the outcome of a game where neither team looks capable of winning. This probably makes the draw a sensible option at 13/5. However, AFC Bournemouth’s away record is not too bad, losing just once in four away games in all competitions in 2024. Combined with the fact that Burnley have just 5 points from 13 home league games and The Cherries look good value for the win at Evens.

Inevitably, Dominic Solanke will be the standout choice in the various goalscorer markets, providing he’s fit. The Bournemouth forward faces a late fitness test but should he play he will be expected to add to the 14 league goals he’s already scored. Solanke is 11/10 to score at any time or 11/4 to score first.

There hasn’t been a clean sheet kept in any of Bournemouth’s last six away games in all competitions whilst Burnley’s last two home league games have seen The Clarets ship nine goals. Over 2.5 match goals looks likely at 4/6.
