Burnley v Chelsea
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, October 31, 2024
Starts 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Location: Turf Moor (Burnley).

Chelsea have had a difficult start to the season but it pays to win in Saturday's English Premier League clash at Burnley.

The Blues are coming off a resounding 4-0 win in Krasnodar and ended a run of three consecutive draws in all competitions.

It will be encouraging for Frank Lampard that Hakim Ziyech finally has his name on the scoresheet and the likes of Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic come together to complete victory in Russia.

Chelsea defeated Manchester United last week in the Premier League and will be looking for their third win of the season in 7 attempts.

Burnley are a shadow of their former selves and have been caught on the wrong side of the table, drawing in 5 games so far.

They lost 1-0 to the Spurs last week and this once again highlights their issues in the scoring department. Chris Wood is lacking and has only managed 1 goal so far, while fellow strikers Ashley Barnes, Jay Rodriguez and Michael Vydra have yet to score a goal this season.

That's why the Blues are priced low at 1,50 to win at Turf Moor, while the visitors can bet at 5,50.

Burnley v Chelsea Head to Head

There have been 12 Premier League meetings between these two teams since 2009 and Chelsea have an excellent record of winning 8. Burnley have only managed to win once, while 3 are stalled.

In last season's game, the Blues won both games, 3-0 at Bridge and 4-2 at Turf Moor.

In the last 6 direct confrontations there were more than 2,5 goals.

And finally, Chelsea won 5 and drew the other in the last 6 visits to this stadium.

Burnley vs Chelsea Prediction

With an excellent h2h record and excellent scoring form on his side, he should look no further than a Blues win on Saturday. Frank Lampard's charges have some problems in the defensive area, but should deal well with an offensive unit that scored just 1 goal this season.

In addition to the good options for the Blues on the bench and if Lampard decides to rest Werner, this opens up an opportunity for young Tammy Abraham or Olivier Giroud and it is also the case for Kai Havertz, who has an almost similar replacement in Pulisic. or Mason Mount.

We can also see that the games involving Chelsea open in the second half and 5 of the 6 away goals this season took place in the last 45 minutes of the game and, therefore, more than 1,5 goals in the second half is a good clearance.

Burnley vs Chelsea Betting Tips

• Chelsea win at 1,50 odd
