Burnley vs Newcastle United Prediction and Betting Tips | December 30th 2025

Burnley will host Newcastle United at Turf Moor on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 English Premier League campaign. The home side have endured a challenging return to the top flight this season and will need to improve significantly in the second half of the campaign if they are to avoid the drop.

After securing a late point in their 1-1 draw away at Bournemouth, Burnley returned to home turf on Saturday to face David Moyes’ impressive Everton side and once again picked up a much-needed point as the game ended goalless.

While Jacob Bruun Larsen missed the best chance of the night, goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was in inspired form, making several key saves to ensure the Clarets held on for a point in front of their home support.

Newcastle United, meanwhile, have been inconsistent in the Premier League this season. They squandered a two-goal lead in their 2-2 draw with Chelsea last weekend before heading to Old Trafford, where they lost 1-0 to a depleted Manchester United side, failing to capitalize on a dominant second-half performance.

The visitors now sit 13th in the table with 23 points and will be eager to put their recent lapses behind them and finish the year on a high.

Burnley vs Newcastle United Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• The two teams have faced each other 115 times. Burnley have won 44 of those encounters while Newcastle have claimed victory 50 times, with their remaining 21 contests ending in draws.
• The Magpies claimed a 2-1 victory when the two teams met in the league earlier this month, marking their seventh consecutive Premier League win in this fixture.
• Newcastle are the only side in the English top flight this season to have scored as many goals (23) as they have conceded.
• Burnley have the third-worst offensive and defensive records in the Premier League this term, with 19 goals scored and 34 conceded in 18 matches.

Burnley vs Newcastle United Prediction

The Clarets head into the midweek clash on a nine-game winless streak, with seven of those games ending in defeat, and face a stiff challenge if they are to bring that streak to an end this week.

The Magpies, meanwhile, have won just one of their last five games across all competitions. Although they have struggled on the road in the league this season, winning just one of their nine away matches, the difference in quality between the sides should see Newcastle United come out on top.

Prediction: Burnley 1-2 Newcastle United
