February 2nd, Burnley vs Southampton

A rematch of the first match of the season which was an electrifying 0-0 draw. The Europa League participants have struggled mightily this season but have had an uptick in form winning their last two.

We cannot be sure if their positive form will continue by the time we get to them but we have to assume they will be doing better than they were early in the season. Burnley’s biggest issue has been there defense.

They have conceded 42 goals as of January 8th, and the Saints will have to exploit that if they want to take all three points from this one. Unfortunately I believe we are in for the exact same result as the first time. Burnley, will look to not concede at home and just hold out for a result and hope they can snatch a late goal to win.

Prediction

Burnley 0-0 Southampton
