Prediction: 2-1
Sheffield United
Tuesday’s football game at Turf Moor pits together Burnley and Sheffield United, the two teams who are fighting hard to survive in the Premier League. Following a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton, the Clarets suffered a 1-0 loss at Leeds United, with the team remaining only two points clear of the relegation zone. Burnley are eyeing their third home win of the season, and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the English top flight.
The Blades, on the other hand, are having a season to forget. The rock-bottom side have collected only two points in total from possible 45, and it is no wonder they are seen as underdogs in the last game of the year. Burnley have been producing fine displays at home of late, and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field.
