Burnley set to confirm top-seven finish

Burnley set to confirm top-seven finish

On Saturday afternoon, Burnley can seal a top-seven finish in the English top-flight, as the Clarets host Brighton at Turf Moor.

Burnley are currently seventh place in the Premier League table, which would mean European football next season for Sean Dyche’s team. The team from Lancashire are currently eight points clear of eighth-place Everton with just three games of the season remaining.

The home side has won five of their last seven top-flight games. However, a defeat against Chelsea and a draw against Stoke last time out have slightly stalled the Clarets momentum.

Dyche’s side has been involved in a number of high scoring games of late, with six of their last seven league games producing over 2.5 goals.

The Clarets recent home form in the Premier League has been inconsistent, as the Lancashire outfit has won just two of their last eight league games at Turf Moor. Their last three home games in the league have produced over 2.5 goals.

Brighton are currently seven points clear of the relegation zone and look relatively safe from the drop. However, the Seagulls will not be resting on their laurels and will be looking to secure their place in the top-flight for next season as quickly as possible.

Chris Hughton’s side has hit a poor run of form of late, as the visitors have failed to win in their last five league outings.

The team from the south coast also have a poor recent away record in the Premier League, having failed to win in their last ten games on their travels, suffering seven defeats in the process.

The visitor’s defensive record on their travels is poor of late, as they have conceded two or more goals in six of their last nine outings.

Forebet predicts that Burnley will seal seventh spot and their place in the Europa League qualifying rounds for next season.
