Burnley vs Leicester Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Burnley’s FA Cup adventure continued at the weekend when they played out a rather comfortable 2-0 win at home to Bristol City, which will be a welcome relief after they lost 2-1 to Arsenal thanks to a 97th minute penalty last weekend.

Overall the pre-season relegation candidates’ form is looking surprisingly good. They have won five, drawn one, and lost two of their last eight games in all competitions, and they have been able to turn Turf Moor into a fortress this season.

Their win against Bristol City made it six wins on the bounce at home for them, and they have only lost three times there all season. One of these was on the opening day of the season, whilst the other two came against Manchester City and Arsenal. They have won eight of their last nine games there, which has been the main driving force behind their rise to 13th in the Premier League table.

Leicester’s season isn’t going quite as well as that. They needed a late Wes Morgan goal to salvage a replay against Derby County in the FA Cup on Friday, and their poor Premier League season has left the reigning champions down in 15th position.

Their last Premier League outing saw them lose 3-0 at Southampton last weekend, which is simply the latest in a long line of disappointing results on the road for The Foxes. They haven’t won a single league game away from home this season and have lost eight of them.

This includes defeats to the likes of Hull, Watford, Sunderland, Bournemouth, and the out of form Southampton, so Burnley will feel confident coming into this match. The bookies have been consistently undervaluing the hosts as well, and this match is no exception. Burnley come in at 9/5 to win on Tuesday, so I’m backing that alongside a 2-0 correct score predictions at huge value odds of 14/1.
