Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Turf Moor will host Saturday’s Premier League game between Burnley and Brentford. The Clarets are stuck in the relegation zone with only 14 points on their account and, as things stand now, they are unlikely to secure the elite division survival. Josh Brownhill, who made his return from suspension at the weekend, is pushing for a start, while all Lyle Foster, Aaron Ramsey, Nathan Redmond, Louis Jordan Beyer, and Luca Koleosho continue to miss out with injuries.
The Bees, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches. Brentford are on a three-game losing run on the road, but given their fine display in a 2-1 loss to league leaders Arsenal, away triumph should be considered this time out. Christian Norgaard should be fit for the Turf Moor clash despite limping off with injury in the London derby, while all Ben Mee, Joshua Da Silva, Aaron Hickey, Bryan Mbeumo, and Ethan Pinnock remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Saman Ghoddos):
Saman Ghoddos is a product of FC Malmo football academy, but he started playing for IF Limhamn Bunkeflo at senior level. After scoring four goals in 41 appearances for the club the Swedish attacker moved to Treleborg, but he did not spend too much time at the club. In 2014 he signed a deal with Syrianska and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the Sodertalje Fotbollsarena outfit.
Saman Ghoddos, who was born in Malmo on September 6, 1996 played for Syrianska from 2014 to 2016 and then he moved to Ostersunds. The Swedish striker, who is used as an attacking midfielder as well, scored ten goals in 27 appearances for Ostersunds in the 2016 Allsvenskan campaign and he impressed in the 2017/2018 Europa League qualifiers.
Saman Ghoddos netted three goals in the process and helped the Swedish club book their place in the group stages of the European competition. Speaking of his personal life, you should bear in mind that Saman’s parents were born in Iran.
Highlighted Team (Burnley):
Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
