Tottenham vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips (16 August)

Not at all at the expected level during the previous exercise, Tottenham ended up unworthy 17th place in the Premier League with only 38 points taken in 38 games. The London training was not threatened by the descent because the three relegated were quickly won in the ranking. The fact remains that this performance is not at all in agreement with the ambitions of such a club. On the other hand, the Spurs saved their season by winning the Europa League final opposing them to Manchester United. They are thus qualified for the Champions League this season. This trophy did not save the head of coach Ange Postcoglou, who was replaced by Thomas Frank Ex-Brentford.

Tottenham obviously aims to replay the leading roles this season. Relegated from the Premier League in 2024, Burnley only needed a season to find the joys of the elite. Last year, the Clarets displayed very good arrangements to win the 2nd row of the Championship with the same number of points as the winner Leeds. They missed the title due to a less good difference in goals but that is not essential since Burnley did not need to go through the dams to validate his climb. The promoted will obviously have a lot to do to hang on the maintenance this season but the confidence garnered during the previous exercise should be useful. 

This summer, Tottenham lost its emblematic Captain Son, transferred to MLS on the side of the Los Angeles FC, and its too fragile Maddison dynamiteur, who injured the cross ligaments of a knee during the friendly who saw his farewell. The latter will thus miss several months of competition. Also, the disappointing German striker Werner was not preserved. Loaned to the club last year, the Darkery defender and the such striker were enlisted. We also note the arrivals of the winger Kudus (West Ham) as well as the defenders Vuskovic (Hadjuk Split) and Takai (Kawasaki). In the offensive sector, we find the influential Maddison (9 goals and 7 passes in PL last year), Kulusevski (7 goals and 4 PL passes last year), Johnson (11 goals and 3 PL passes last year) and Solanke (9 goals and 3 PL passes last year), which blew hot and cold last year. The solid defenders Van de Ven and Romero hopes to be spared by injuries.

During, the offseason, Burnley has ratified the departures of the excellent Trafford porter (Manchester City), defender Egan-Riley (Marseille), brownhill (without club) and Massngo (Augsburg) or even the attacker Andreas Hountondji (Sankt Pauli). On the other hand, several elements came to strengthen the promoted. This is the case of goalkeeper Weiss (Karlsruhe), the Walker (Manchester City), Tuanzebe (Ipswich) and Hartman (Feyenoord) side, as well as wingers Tchaouna (Lazio) and Bruun Larsen (Stuttgart). The loss of Brownhill (18 goals and 6 championship passes last year) is obviously prejudicial, but the leaders have lifted the option of purchase of Flemming (12 goals and 4 championship passes last year) and Anthony (8 goals and 8 championship passes last year) after their fruitful loan. The probable compositions for Tottenham Burnley: Tottenham: to come. Burnley: to come.
