A stunning 3-0 win away to Brighton on Saturday provided Clarets fans with a glimmer of hope in the relegation battle but they could be set to fall back into losing ways when they host Tottenham on Wednesday.

That victory at the Amex ended Burnley’s 12-game winless run and they remain in the relegation zone, now five points adrift of Newcastle but with at least two games in hand on the three teams directly around them.

Spurs hope to maintain top four challenge
Tottenham enjoyed their own unexpected and morale-boosting success at the weekend as a Harry Kane brace earned them a last-ditch win at the Etihad in one of the games of the season.

However, they have won only four of their last eight outings in all competitions and are separated from the top four by seven points. The improvement under Antonio Conte will be welcomed, but it’s arguable whether this group of players can make a true push for the top four.

Cagey affair expected at Turf Moor
Burnley may have put three past Brighton at the weekend but their scoring record remains woefully short. They have scored just 20 goals this season and four of their last five league games have produced fewer than three goals.

They did limit the free-scoring Liverpool to a single goal in their last home match and a similarly defensive performance is expected here. Spurs have seen fewer than three goals in six of their last 11 in all competitions, so I’m backing Under 2.5 goals alongside a second consecutive 1-0 defeat at home for Burnley.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

在本周六3-0大胜布莱顿的比赛中，红军在保级战中燃起了一线希望，但在周三主场对阵热刺的比赛中，他们可能会再次陷入失利的困境。

那场在美国运通的胜利结束了伯恩利的12场不败纪录，他们仍然处于降级区，现在离纽卡斯尔还有5分的差距，但他们周围的三支球队至少还有两场比赛要打。

热刺希望保持前四名的挑战
托特纳姆热刺在周末享受了他们自己意想不到的、鼓舞士气的成功，哈里·凯恩的进球为他们在阿提哈德赢得了本赛季最后一场比赛中的胜利。

然而，在过去的8场比赛中，他们只赢得了4场比赛，与前四名的差距为7分。安东尼奥-孔戴的进步将受到欢迎，但这群球员是否能真正推动前四名还存在争议。

在草皮沼泽的一场谨慎的比赛
伯恩利可能在周末对布莱顿的比赛中取得了三场胜利，但他们的进球纪录仍然很短。他们本赛季只进了20个球，在过去的5场联赛中，有4场的进球数不足3个。

在上一场主场比赛中，他们将自由得分的利物浦限制在了一球之内，同样的防守表现也将在这里上演。热刺在过去的11场比赛中，有6场比赛进的球都不到3个，所以我认为他们的进球都在2.5以下，而伯恩利则连续2次在主场0 - 1败北。
