We are edging closer and closer to the end of the Premier League season and things are really starting to heat up at both ends of the table. There are so many things still up in the air and between now and the end of May, we expect to see a whole lot of surprises. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a really intriguing encounter between Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Burnley Form GuideWe’re at the point now where it’s okay for Burnley fans to start panicking. The Clarets enjoyed a really strong run in the Championship but unfortunately for their loyal fanbase, they haven’t been able to make a smooth transition back into the top flight. Vincent Kompany will continue to fight, but it’s easy to understand why there’s so much uncertainty surrounding the club.
Burnley only have one win in their last six games, which was a 2-1 triumph over Brentford. They’ve also drawn with West Ham, Chelsea and Wolves, with their two defeats coming against Bournemouth and Everton.
Brighton Form GuideFor Brighton & Hove Albion, any hope of silverware this season has come and gone - but that doesn’t mean their season is over. The fight is on to keep European football coming in on the south coast and even though this season has been trickier than the last, they still have the quality necessary to make some real waves between now and the end of May.
After being knocked out of the Europa League by Roma, Brighton fought hard against Liverpool - but ultimately came up short in a narrow 2-1 defeat. From there, they were held to a 0-0 draw by Brentford, before being handed a humbling 3-0 defeat by Arsenal.
Match PredictionBoth teams have something left to fight for but Burnley are the ones who are a little bit more desperate. The Clarets are likely going to give it everything they’ve got between now and the end of the campaign, because they need to. In terms of a prediction, we’re going to shoot for a draw.
