LiontipsBurnley vs Brighton. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (August 14, 2021).
Command Analysis
Burnley are a club with a very rich history, but they have never won the Premier League. Last season, they barely retained their spot in the top league. They have won only 10 games out of 38 and drew in 9 matches. That brought Burnley 39 points and 17th place in the table. The club's attack gave a very week performance over the season, averaging less than 1 goal per game. In the last five rounds, Sean Dyche's charges defeated Fulham (2:0) but lost the other four matches.
Nathan Collins has joined the squad from Stoke City. Burnley bought the centre-back for 14 million euros.
Burnley will be without Dale Stephens and Kevin Long, who has a calf injury.
Brighton finished right on top of Burnley in the last season. The Seagulls scored nine victories and 14 draws in 38 rounds and finished on the 16th line. In their last five games, Brighton defeated Leeds (2:0), drew with West Ham (1:1), and unexpectedly defeated Manchester City (3:2).
The Seagulls sold Ben White to Arsenal for 58.5 million euros and strengthened their team with new players: Enock Mwepu from Red Bulls Salzburg (23 mln) and Kjell Scherpen from Ajax (5 mln).
Caicedo, Burn, Lamptey, Scherpen, Welbeck are injured and will not play this week.
