Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley

Current streaks

Recent form

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The Spurs have struggled defensively, conceding nine goals in this period, with a particularly concerning 4-1 defeat to Brighton in their last Premier League match. Their attacking output has been modest, scoring only five goals across these games, averaging less than a goal per match. Notably, Tottenham have managed to keep three clean sheets, all in friendly matches, which could be a positive sign for their defence. However, their most recent match, a 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich in a friendly, raises questions about their preparedness for the upcoming season. The majority of their recent matches (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards lower-scoring affairs. As Tottenham enter the new Premier League season, they'll be looking to improve their consistency and goal-scoring prowess to climb up from their current 18th position.

Burnley

Burnley have shown impressive form in their recent matches, particularly in their league campaign where they ended the season with a strong run of four consecutive victories. This winning streak saw them score an impressive 12 goals whilst conceding only three, demonstrating their potency in attack and solidity in defence. Their most notable result came in a 5-0 thrashing of Queens Park Rangers, highlighting their ability to dominate opponents. However, their pre-season form has been less convincing, with two narrow 1-0 defeats in friendlies against Lazio and Stoke City. Despite this, Burnley's overall statistics remain positive, with an average of 2 goals scored per game and only 0.67 conceded. Their ability to keep clean sheets in 33% of their matches and their even split between high and low-scoring games (50% over 2.5 goals) suggests a well-balanced team capable of adapting to different match scenarios.

Recent home/away form

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent home form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches at their stadium. The Spurs have struggled defensively, conceding 10 goals across these games, with a particularly heavy 4-1 defeat to Brighton in their most recent Premier League home fixture. Their attacking output has been modest, averaging just 1.17 goals per game, though they managed to keep one clean sheet during this period. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, suggesting entertaining encounters for the fans. The total goals average of 2.83 per game indicates relatively high-scoring affairs, with an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals. Notably, Tottenham have not managed to string together consecutive wins or losses at home during this stretch, alternating between positive and negative results in their last five competitive matches.

The Clarets have shown remarkable defensive solidity, conceding only three goals in these six away games and keeping three clean sheets. Their attacking prowess has been equally noteworthy, with a total of 11 goals scored at an average of 1.83 per game. A particular highlight was their resounding 5-0 victory against Queens Park Rangers, showcasing their ability to dominate away fixtures. Burnley are currently on a three-game winning streak in competitive away matches, demonstrating their consistency and confidence on their travels. The team's goal difference of +8 over these six away games further underlines their strong performances, with 50% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals, indicating an entertaining style of play for the spectators.
