Burnley vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips (17 February)

The return to the elite is very difficult for Burnley who currently occupies 19th place in the standings with only 13 points taken in 24 matches. The promoted player is thus in a very unfavorable waiver to avoid the drop of 7 units of expenditure on the first non-relegable. The current dynamic is bad since the Clarets have not won any of their last 6 championship matches, 2 draws and 4 defeats. After making up for a 2-goal deficit to hold off Fulham at home 2-2, Burnley logically lost to leader Liverpool last weekend 3-1. Returning to the forefront during the previous exercise, Arsenal scrimmages for the title again this season. The London team is currently 3rd in the Premier League and is 2 points behind 1st place.

After a disappointing month of December in terms of results, the Gunners have resumed their march forward in 2024. Indeed, they have won their last 4 league matches played against Crystal Palace 5-0, Nottingham Forest 1-2, Liverpool 3 -1 and West Ham last weekend 0-6. The last two results obviously impressed all observers. On Wednesday, Arsenal travels to Porto in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.

Burnley still cannot count on promising winger Koleosho (1 goal and 1 assist in PL) and replacement midfielder Redmond, who have not sufficiently recovered from their physical problems. In addition, executives Beyer (defender) and Foster (4 goals in PL) must also withdraw while starting defender Charlie Taylor is uncertain. The club has strengthened this winter with the arrivals of defenders Assignon (Rennes) and Estève (Montpellier) as well as striker Datro Fofana (Chelsea), who all started last weekend.

Fofana is already in sight with 2 goals and 1 assist in his first 3 matches in the Clarets jersey. He could start again alongside Swiss international Amdouni (4 goals in PL).
