Newcastle vs. Burnley prediction, lineups, odds, TV and 15/2 bet builder for Premier League clash
Scott Parker’s team appear destined for the drop before today’s trip to the North East.
Newcastle head into this on the back of a frustrating 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham having twice taken the lead late on. The Magpies had put in an excellent performance last weekend in hammering Everton 4-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Burnley have been competitive at times this season and the vast majority of their defeats have been by the odd goal but the Clarets do just keep losing. That continued in midweek as they suffered a 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Turf Moor.
The Magpies are fifth for expected goals (xG) at home with 13.92 and should score a few here today. The Sporting News brings you the latest tips and predictions for this clash, as well as how to claim 50/1 for 1+goal in Aston Villa vs. Arsenal.
Newcastle United vs. Burnley Prediction: Who Will Win Today?
After a fractured summer build-up, Newcastle have been a little unconvincing this season as they evolve their style to try and fit their game to traditional ‘number 9’ Nick Woltemade, having sold the more dynamic Alexander Isak to Liverpool in the summer.
The presence of Woltemade should help them to unlock deep lying defences such as Burnley, so they will be confident of a comfortable home win.

Newcastle vs. Burnley: TSN Score Prediction, Match Betting
This is expected to be a fairly one-sided affair. Scott Parker and his style of football will mean that Newcastle are the dictators of the tempo and enjoy the majority of possession.
With Woltemade as a focal point in tandem with Harvey Barnes and Bruno Guimaraes, a scorer off the bench in midweek, they should ease themselves to a comfortable victory at St James’ Park.
Our Score Prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Burnley (6/1 with Bet365)

Newcastle vs. Burnley Team News, Injury Updates
Newcastle Team News
- Eddie Howe has rotated a fair bit in recent weeks with Lewis Miley coming in and performing very well against both Everton and then Spurs.
- Aaron Ramsdale made some excellent saves against Spurs, albeit will be frustrated by conceding Cristian Romero’s second goal, with Nick Pope expected to be out until Boxing Day.
- The form of Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall has also been very impressive and well-timed with Kieran Trippier missing through injury for the hosts.
Burnley Team News
- Jaidon Anthony had been rested for Burnley against Brentford but he returned to the side as Parker went with a more proactive 4-4-2 shape against Palace.
- They are unlikely to stick with that as they make the trip up to Newcastle with Anthony one of a few attacking options that could miss out alongside Zian Flemming and Lyle Foster.
- Key defender Axel Tuanzebe is also a major doubt for this one as the Democratic Republic of Congo centre-back is facing a late fitness test ahead of their trip.

This is how we think these two sides will lineup at St James’ Park, with Anthony Gordon restored to the Newcastle front three in place of Jacob Murphy. Malick Thiaw could be rotated out in defence.
