Burnley – Newcastle: a tense scrap to end the year 
Burnley host Newcastle on Tuesday at Turf Moor, hoping to close out 2025 on a brighter note in the Premier League. Stuck in the relegation zone, the Clarets are desperate for a spark, while the Magpies—patchy this season—are trying to find some stability, especially away from home.
Burnley: signs of life, but still too timid 
After a brutal few weeks, Burnley are finally showing signs of recovery. Scott Parker’s men have two draws on the spin — modest, but enough to give a struggling group a sliver of hope since autumn.
Those results have stemmed the defensive bleeding, with their first clean sheet in ages. The main problem remains up front: Burnley struggle to create clear chances and are painfully short of cutting edge in the final third.
Still second-bottom, they know every point counts now. A home win would be a massive lifeline before the new year; another defeat would seriously complicate their survival mission.
Newcastle: a risky trip despite the mental edge 
Newcastle head into this trip without many certainties. Capable of top-level displays, Eddie Howe’s side flip between good and mediocre all season, and their away form is unconvincing.
The recent loss to Manchester United highlighted the Magpies’ limits, especially their lack of consistency. Still, a recent league win over Burnley gives them a useful psychological boost.
Comfortably clear of the drop for now, Newcastle can aim for a safer spot. To do that they need to start picking up results away from St James’ Park — that’s the area holding their ambitions back.
Probable line-ups
Burnley : Dubravka, Laurent, Ekdal, Humphreys, Walker, Ugochukwu, Florentino, Pires, Edwards, Broja, Bruun Larsen
Newcastle : Ramsdale, Miley, Thiaw, Schar, Hall, Guimaraes, Tonali, Ramsey, Murphy, Woltemade, Gordon
What to take away
- Burnley have two draws on the spin.
- The Clarets still lack cutting edge up front.
- Newcastle have won just one away match this season.
- Both teams want to finish the year on a positive note.
Football Tip Burnley vs Newcastle
Both teams to score
Burnley have tightened up at the back, but their attacking flaws remain. Newcastle struggle on the road but have enough quality to find a way through. A both-teams-to-score outcome looks likely.
First, a word on our tips
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read of the moment — not a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, nothing is certain. Yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best advice: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over, annoying you or stressing you out, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialised organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.

Info that changes
A tip is always based on what we know when we write it. But line-ups (like Newcastle’s) change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can be out of date fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
