Burnley vs West Ham prediction 25.11.2023

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 25th November 2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
• Venue: Turf Moor (Burnley)

Last season, Burnley was outstandingly dominant, breezing through the Championship and clinching the title with 101 points, leaving second-placed Sheffield trailing by ten points. However, this season has been a challenging journey for the Clarets. Currently, they sit in 20th place with a mere four points from 12 rounds, though they remain just two points shy of the safety zone. One contributing factor to this is Everton’s ten-point deduction. But, in fairness, it seems that Burnley’s performance isn’t as poor as the league table suggests, they just can’t seem to secure a favorable outcome.

West Ham’s previous season was quite intriguing. They had a poor performance in the Premier League, finishing 14th and narrowly avoiding relegation by just six points. However, they managed to clinch the Europa Conference League title, thereby securing their place in Europe. Already, the current season appears to be mirroring the last, with the team performing well in Europe but struggling in the Premier League where they currently sit at 9th place. In the run-up to the international break, the Hammers were on a successful spree, even eliminating Arsenal in the Carabao Cup 1/8 Finals.

Burnley vs West Ham pick: West Ham to win

This season in the Premier League, Burnley has suffered 10 losses out of 12 matches. Their performance has been deteriorating in recent games. Currently, they are going through a tough phase, having lost six consecutive games across all competitions. Their defensive performance is particularly poor, with a record of 17 goals conceded, averaging 2.83 goals per game.

West Ham have been experiencing a strong upward momentum, having secured victories in three of their past four matches across all competitions. Although the Hammers have won all those games at their home ground, it is believed that Burnley, who are currently struggling, could be the ideal adversary for them to clinch a crucial away victory. Over the course of this season, West Ham have managed to win four out of the nine away games they have played.

In the last four head-to-head matches, there were two draws and two victories for West Ham. Objectively speaking, West Ham appears to be a superior team overall. Taking into account the disparity in performance, it would seem that the Hammers have a higher chance of securing a win in the forthcoming match.
