Burnley vs Liverpool Betting Tips: Liverpool to win / BTTS

A fascinating match is anticipated on Tuesday when Burnley, encouraged by a commendable victory at Fulham, return to their home ground to face Liverpool, who are in the pursuit of the title. The Clarets, who suffered a dreadful seven-game losing streak from October to November, have seen an improvement in their performance in December, having gathered seven points from their recent five games.

Following an impressive 5:0 victory over Sheffield United, Vinceny Kompany’s team also succeeded in securing a point at Brighton. This occurred prior to their unexpected triumph at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

Nonetheless, since their comeback to England’s premier league, Burnley has been grappling with serious problems regarding their home performance. Apart from their high-scoring victory over the Blades, the Clarets have not managed to gain any more points, having suffered eight defeats at home this season. During these losses, Kompany’s team conceded 22 goals.

Liverpool enters this competition on the back of a 1:1 draw against Arsenal at Anfield on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp’s team has experienced a dip in form, failing to secure a win in their last two home games and only managing a single victory in their last four matches across all competitions.

On their travels, the Reds couldn’t secure victory in four consecutive PL matches before achieving two successive wins at Sheffield United and Crystal Palace in their latest away games. It’s noteworthy that Liverpool could only claim victory in eight out of 21 away PL matches in 2023. Additionally, they’ve only managed to keep six clean sheets in their last 30 Premier League away games.

A tough one to call with Burnley boosted by their weekend win, I expect Liverpool to emerge on top in a high-scoring contest where BTTS also looks a good option. Over 2.5 goals also seems likely so I’m taking all three selections on Tuesday.
