Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tottenham Hotspur to Win | BOYLESports @ 21/20 (48.8%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Tottenham have not been the easiest team to back this season; however, they face a Burnley side that is winless in 13 matches. With that in mind, we are surprised to see Spurs priced odds-against. The win against Tuesday on Wednesday showed the players are still fighting for Thomas Frank. Only Arsenal have picked up more points on the road this season and Spurs are very backable here. |
| Xavi Simons Over 2.5 Shots | BOYLESports @ 2/1 (33.3%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Xavi Simons has started to settle into life in London and has looked lively in recent weeks. The Dutchman let off five shots against Dortmund and four against West Ham in his most recent leahie outing. This is bet has landed in four of his last eight starts, and he looks overpriced here with odds of 2/1 implying a 33.3% of success against the Clarets. |

How both teams go into Burnley vs Tottenham
Burnley have gone 13 Premier League matches without a win since edging Wolves 3-2 in late October, leaving them firmly in relegation trouble. While results have been poor overall, there have been small signs of progress. A convincing 5-1 FA Cup win over Millwall was followed by hard earned draws against Manchester United and Liverpool, including a late equaliser at Anfield last weekend.
Despite those improvements, Burnley remain 19th and eight points from safety with 16 games left, although three of their next four come against bottom half sides. Goals have been hard to come by at home and recent history against Tottenham offers little encouragement, with six defeats in the last seven league meetings. Another failure to win this weekend would see the club record their longest top flight winless run since 1970.
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank was given some welcome breathing room on Tuesday as Spurs claimed a 2-0 home win over 10 man Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, bringing an end to a five match winless run in all competitions. Qualification for the last 16 is now within their control ahead of a trip to Eintracht Frankfurt next week, but domestic matters take priority for now as Spurs look to improve on their 14th place standing and close the eight point gap to the top five.
League form has been a major concern, with just two wins from Tottenham’s last 13 Premier League matches and a 2-1 home defeat to West Ham last weekend highlighting their struggles. Results at home have been particularly poor, yet their away record tells a different story, with Spurs collecting the majority of their points on the road and scoring freely. They also boast a strong record away to promoted sides, although recent results against teams in the relegation zone suggest there is still work to be done.
Burnley team news
Josh Cullen, Zeki Amdouni, Connor Roberts, Joe Worrall, Zian Fleming and Jordan Beyer are all out.
Tottenham team news
Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee are on the treatment table for the visitors.
Season Form & Standings
2025/26 season to date: Burnley remain in deep trouble, sitting 19th with only three wins from 22 matches and the league’s third-worst defensive record (42 conceded). Tottenham are mid-table, but their underlying attacking stats (xG 23.71, 31 goals) suggest they may be underachieving their potential.
| Team | Pos | P | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burnley | 19 | 22 | 3 | 5 | 14 | 23 | 42 | -19 | 14 |
| Tottenham Hotspur | 14 | 22 | 7 | 6 | 9 | 31 | 29 | +2 | 27 |
Head-to-Head
Last 6 Meetings

| Date | Score | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| 16/08/25 | Tottenham 3-0 Burnley | Premier League |
| 11/05/24 | Tottenham 2-1 Burnley | Premier League |

| 15/05/22 | Tottenham 1-0 Burnley | Premier League |

Conclusion
Will Tottenham’s attacking firepower prove too much for a struggling Burnley side at Turf Moor? For those seeking value, take the 21/20 (48.8%) on a Tottenham win, which looks fair given Burnley’s record.
