Burnley vs Brighton: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 28th April 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Turf Moor

Match Preview:

After a superb six weeks Burnley have come back down to Earth and have now gone their last two games without a win. First came defeat at home to Chelsea and then the Clarets could only draw against battling Stoke. They will be looking for all three points on Saturday afternoon on their return to Turf Moor.

Sean Dyche’s side just need one more point to be assured of a top 7 finish in what has been, on the face of it, a superb season for the club. But they haven’t given up coming 6th and leapfrogging the mighty Arsenal, they are just four points adrift of the Gunners albiet having played a game more.

Brighton are more or less safe with 36 points but would love to confirm that with a victory here. It has been a tough ground to come too and the visitors will be the slight underdogs here. Form has been poor with just 2 points from their last 15 although they did get one of those against Tottenham in their last game. Away from home they have just 2 wins all season and have one of the worst away records in the league.
