Burnley Form
It seems that this spring Burnley have already resigned themselves to another quick farewell to the Premier League. The team have not won since 11 February, when they beat Crystal Palace away (3:2) — that makes seven rounds without a victory. When they lost (five times), in three of those games there was Over 3.5 goals and both teams scored. If West Ham win today, Monday, their chances will in practice be reduced to zero: in terms of points they can still catch the Hammers, but on goal difference they will trail by at least 17 goals.
- Over the last 10 league matches only Tottenham (three points) have performed worse than Burnley (1-2-7).
- In 39% of Burnley's matches in this league campaign there has been Over 3.5 goals.
- Unlike other relegation candidates, the Clarets convert almost everything they create (–0.93 xGDiff).
- There have been no home wins at Turf Moor for 12 matches (four draws and eight defeats).
