Prediction Outcome: Successful
Detailed Analysis
Burnley have been competitive in phases, but results at Turf Moor are still poor. They’ve lost around half of their last six home league games, and when they do concede first the game tends to get away from them. Chelsea, meanwhile, have quietly become a decent away side again, winning four of their last six league games on the road, with a more solid defensive structure and quicker transitions through midfield. (Forebet+1)
Burnley’s attack relies heavily on moments from Broja and wide service, but the Albanian forward is coming off another injury scare in the national team, which raises doubts over his sharpness for a full 90 minutes. (The Sun+1)
Chelsea also have injury questions of their own, notably around Cole Palmer, but the squad depth in attacking areas is still superior, and they’ve shown they can create chances even without him. (The Sun)
Add in the fact Chelsea are pushing for European spots while Burnley are firmly in relegation-battle territory, and the motivation dynamic also leans blue. As long as Chelsea avoid gifting early goals, they should have enough quality to edge this by one or two.
