With all the fronts in the Premier League open and just two matches to go, the end of this league edition is on fire. Now, Tottenham, having a terrible time in its quest for the Champions League, can get a breath against Burnley, who is seeking salvation.
The Spurs have lost four matches in a row, the latest of which was a 4-2 beating by Liverpool.
The Clarets had been improving lately, and they had three matches without losing until Newcastle thrashed them 1-4 in their last duel.

Why Bet on Tottenham?
As said before, the hosts are in a slump of form that could put any manager on the rope. Ange Postecoglu’s men lost four games in a row, although, truth be told, the schedule was not merciful with them recently. They faced Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool in the last few weeks, and their performance was, at least, far from expected. They conceded 13 goals in that span.
However, Aston Villa’s form is also slumping recently, and the Villians’ defeat against Brighton gives them a ray of hope to participate in the next Champions League. Let’s remember that the English clubs failed to land a fifth spot in the maximum European Competition after their subpar performance on the international stage.
Even a perfect run against Burnley, Manchester City, and Sheffield United would be meaningless if Villa won just one of their final two Premier League fixtures of 2023-24. So, Thursday Europa League nights are the most realistic aspirations for Postecoglou’s under-performing squad as the campaign draws to a close.
Why Bet on Burnley?
Their visitors will be the 19th-placed Burnley, who are in relegation danger, with a slim shot at crawling out in the last second if everything goes perfectly for them in these remaining two matchdays.
Turf Moor trouncings have been nothing new for Burnley since their swift return to the big time. A rampant Newcastle were the latest side to condemn Vincent Kompany’s crop to a humbling home loss last weekend, where the Magpies, coincidentally, went 4-0 up in rapid time.
Five points adrift of safety with only six left to fight for, Burnley’s relegation back down to the second tier will be confirmed if they lose on Saturday. As a result, a hard-earned point in North London will not suffice this weekend.
Final Betting Analysis:Â Tottenham vs. BurnleyÂ
The thing here is that Burnley has already come up short twice against Tottenham this season, being battered 5-2 in the reverse Premier League fixture before January’s slender 1-0 FA Cup defeat.
The Spurs playing at home almost always means goals at both ends of the pitch, but the Clarets’ box will,certainly, come under siege on more occasions than Vicario’s penalty area. Burnley is many things but, a team solid at the back, they are not (-35 GD.)
While the locals face an anxious wait to learn whether their efforts will be enough to prolong the Champions League fight, Postecoglou’s side should pull themselves out of their rut without too much trouble. In the process, they’ll ensure that the visitors will not be in the Premier League for 2024-25. We’ll go for a 5-1 local win.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.395. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $39.5 for a total payout of $139.5.
