Bournemouth vs Burnley tips and predictions: Basement battle to be determined by one goal
- Robbie Savage
- 27 October 2023
Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage has weighed in on a game which could, down the line, have a big significance on the Premier League relegation battle.
It’s a big relegation clash. Burnley have got a great record at the Vitality stadium, winning their last four - three in the Premier League and one in the FA Cup.
I think that will be five. Bournemouth on the back of a bad defeat against Wolves, Gary O’Neil going back to the Vitality and winning.
I think Vincent Kompany will go there and he will get a victory for Burnley, a 1-0 win.

Planet Sport’s other bets to consider
On paper, this fixture looks as dull as dirt. And with regards to the actual quality of football, that may prove to be true.
However, one thing we certainly can’t downplay is the importance of the outcome.
While the season is still in its infancy, there’s no question that pressure is beginning to build on both clubs.
Bournemouth, for instance, are yet to win a single league match this season, with manager Andoni Iraola coming under increasing scrutiny.
Vincent Kompany isn’t out of the woods either. Burnley made the Championship look easy, though transition to the Premier League has been far from that.
A win for either side could mark a major shift in their fortunes. What’s more, three points could prove crucial come the end of the season.
Burnley’s record away at the Vitality stadium is shockingly good, with the Clarets winning their last four at the venue.
With that in mind, we’re backing Kompany’s men to earn a crucial victory in what promises to be a closely fought encounter.
Burnley to win by exactly one goal is our nap ahead of this basement battle.
