Burnley vs Newcastle United Prediction and Betting Tips | 22nd May 2022
Burnley will host Newcastle United at Turf Moor in their last game of the 2021-22 Premier League season on Sunday.
The hosts' top-flight status hangs in the balance, as 18th-placed Leeds United also have 35 points as them. This is a must-win game for Burnley, as they have a better goal difference, and the three points will help them remain in the English top flight next season.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have done a great job of pulling themselves out of the relegation zone this campaign. They now have an outside chance of making it to the upper half of the points table.
Burnley are winless in their last three league games, playing out a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa last time around. Newcastle, meanwhile, returned to winning ways with a 2-0 triumph over Arsenal in their previous outing.
