Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bournemouth to Win & BTTS | 21/10 @ Bet365 (32.3%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Bournemouth are priced at just 4/9 to win the game in the match result market, but backing them to win and both teams to score looks a much more palatable option at 21/10. The Cherries shipped four goals against Manchester United on Monday, and have only kept one defeat in their last seven. However, the hosts have the quality to win here and face a Burnley side that has lost seven consecutive league matches. The Clarets have faced more shots (247), more shots on target (88) and have a higher expected goals against tally (33.4) than any other side in the Premier League this season. |
| Marcus Tavernier Anytime Scorer | 3/1 @ Bet365 (25.0%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Goals look likely here and one player who stands out in the anytime scorer market is Marcus Tavernier. The Bournemouth man was on the scoresheet at Old Trafford on Monday in a game where he recorded three shots on target. He has four league goals this season and is averaging a healthy 2.23 shots per game. |

How both teams go into Bournemouth vs Burnley
After a strong start to the campaign that saw them occupy the European qualification places for a few weeks, Bournemouth have slipped down the table and now find themselves 13th. The Cherries are winless in their last seven league matches (D3 L4), and will see this as the perfect opportunity to end that run. Rumours continue to circulate around the future of Antonie Semenyo, and after an eight-goal thriller on Monday, goals could well be on the menu once again for Bournemouth here.
Burnley will have been satisfied with their start to the season; however, the last two months have been incredibly challenging. Scott Parker’s side have lost seven on the bounce, with their latest defeat being a 3-2 home loss against Fulham. Burnley must start to pick up points quickly if they are to stand any chance of staying up. The Clarets currently sit 19th in the table, six points from safety.
