Nottingham-Burnley is a Premier League match of the fifth day and is played on Monday at 20:45: tv, formations, predictions
The fifth day of the Premier League closes this evening with a very important clash for two teams looking for salvation: the one between Nottingham and Burnley. While the hosts have already won six points in four outings, there is no joy for the visitors, who are stuck on zero with just three goals scored and eleven conceded. In short, it would seem there could be a favourite team.
A challenge, this one, being played a few weeks after the FA Cup clash: same pitch, unpredictable result with the away side winning. But tonight things should be different. There are points at stake, the ones that are really needed. And then there is also another matter to take into close consideration: Nottingham, before the break for national teams, went for a win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. You will say: Pochettino’s team still hasn’t clicked. And that’s true, very true, but coming out of the Blues’ camp unscathed and with everything at stake is not something that happens by chance. You have to be ready, even to the idea, that you can succeed in what was an extraordinary blow against a club that has spent millions and millions of euros in the market. And Nottingham have shown that they have that mental strength to think of this outside shot.
So let’s say, without fear of being proven wrong, that Nottingham are slight favourites and that with these three points they could move significantly closer to safety. Yes, exactly: winning again would help the team to increase their certainty and consequently face the next matches with tranquillity.
Burnley
The Prediction
Yes, Nottingham win. At the most, but really at the most, a draw could come out but we opt for a challenge that will give the three points to the hosts. A match that shouldn’t offer too many emotions. So the match will end, as well, with less than three goals in total.
