Will Burnley's defense stand strong against Liverpool's offensive push? Can the Reds secure another win?

** predicted match-up between Burnley and Liverpool at Turf Moor on December 26th, 2022 **

Burnley

Strengths: Crafting scoring opportunities, impressive individual play skills;

Weaknesses: Poor defensive strategy in set pieces, struggling to maintain ball possession.

Having returned to the British football elite from the Championship, Burnley hasn't yet left a lasting impression and languishes in the relegation zone. Vincent Kompany's squad hasn't discovered their rhythm yet and struggles to keep pace with most teams in the English Premier League.

The upcoming English Championship contest sees Burnley as the underdogs, despite playing at home. Home-field advantage will no doubt be welcome for the Clarets, as they'll likely play second-fiddle and find themselves consistently in their own half.

Liverpool

Strengths: Mastery of free kicks, deadly wing attacks, efficient conversion of chances;

Weaknesses: Difficulty in preventing long-range shots, error-prone play.

Perched near the top of the English Championship standings, Liverpool boasts a rare losing streak this season and seldom drops points. Recently, they drew against Manchester United at home, but still managed to remain at the summit and continue their title pursuit.

In their upcoming match, Liverpool will aim for nothing short of a victory, ensuring that Klopp fields his strongest players. The Reds' strong offense has carried them through the season thus far, so they'll look to score as many goals as possible.

Interesting Facts

  • Recent History: Their last encounter took place in February 2022, with Liverpool claiming a narrow 1:0 victory;
  • Goals Galore: In only one of the last five matches between these teams in the PL, the "both teams to score" bet was a winner at approximately 1.65;
  • Goals Aplenty: Just one of the last five matches between the rivals in the English Championship saw the "over 2.5 goals" bet pay off at around 1.43;
  • Liverpool Dominance: The Reds won three of the last five matches against Burnley in the English Championship.
