Burnley vs Newcastle Prediction Premier League
Burnley vs Newcastle Prediction and Betting Tips for the Premier League, scheduled for December 30, 2025, at 19:45 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and NOW TV. The clash takes place at Turf Moor, with both sides desperate to finish a turbulent year on a high note. Currently, Burnley sits in 19th place with only 12 points, while the visitors are mid-table with 23 points. In this article, you’ll discover Premier League Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Burnley is currently enduring a difficult run, failing to win a match since late October.
- The Clarets have struggled offensively, managing the third worst scoring record in the top flight.
- Defensive stability has improved recently, with Scott Parker’s side securing their first clean sheet in ten.
- Newcastle United arrives at Turf Moor having won only one of their previous five league fixtures.
- The Magpies’ away form is a major concern, with just one road victory all season long.
- Massive injury problems plague both squads, particularly in the defensive lines for this Tuesday encounter.
Scott Parker’s men are in a real scrap for survival, and while the results haven’t quite arrived, there is a tiny glimmer of hope. Still, it is hard to ignore the fact that they haven’t tasted victory in ages. Their recent goalless draw with Everton showed some grit, but the lack of quality in the final third is glaring. Can they really turn things around without a reliable goalscorer? They managed 16 shots against the Toffees but somehow failed to put a single one on target. That’s a worrying trend that Parker must fix if they want to avoid the drop. Even so, the fans at Turf Moor will be vocal, hoping for a late Christmas miracle under the floodlights.
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe faces a defensive selection headache ahead of the Magpies' trip to Turf Moor. With Sven Botman likely sidelined and the backline stretched by injuries, Howe is monitoring his squad's recovery closely. A late decision is also expected regarding the goalkeeper position, as Aaron Ramsdale and the returning Nick Pope compete for the starting spot against a resilient Burnley side.

The reasoning for an Under 8.5 Shots on Target bet lies heavily in the recent statistical output of both clubs. Burnley’s offensive struggles have reached a critical point; in their last outing against Everton, they failed to register a single shot on target despite having 16 attempts. Season stats show they average only 2.67 shots on target per home match. Newcastle isn't much more explosive on the road, averaging just 3.0 shots on target per away game. Combined, these teams are averaging 5.67 shots on target, which is well below the 8.5 threshold. With both teams missing creative outlets and key defenders, the game is likely to be played in a congested midfield. Scott Parker has prioritized a "safety first" approach to stop the losing streak, which naturally reduces the game's verticality and chances created. Expect a cagey, tactical battle with very few clear openings for the goalkeepers to deal with.
