Recent encounters have also been relatively balanced. The reverse fixture earlier in the 2025/26 Premier League season finished in a 1-1 draw at the Vitality Stadium, with Antoine Semenyo opening the scoring for Bournemouth before Armando Broja rescued a late point for Burnley.
Burnley team overview
Burnley have found life in the Premier League extremely demanding since their promotion. Under manager Scott Parker, the Clarets have struggled for consistency and remain in the relegation zone after collecting only a handful of wins during the campaign. Their recent form reflects the struggles they have endured for most of the season - Burnley have lost four of their last six Premier League outings, winning only once away at Crystal Palace.
Despite these challenges, Turf Moor has historically been a difficult venue for visiting teams, and Burnley will hope that home support can help them improve their performances during the final stretch of the season.
The injury situation is not ideal either: Burnley head into this fixture with as many as eight players sidelined with injuries, including Broja.

Bournemouth team overview
Bournemouth enter the fixture in relatively stronger overall shape compared to their opponents. The Cherries have hovered around mid-table for much of the season and recently enjoyed an extended unbeaten run that has helped them maintain distance from the relegation zone. Andoni Iraola’s men are currently on a nine-game unbeaten league run, although only four wins have been recorded during this stretch.
However, Bournemouth’s defensive record has also been problematic. The team has conceded a significant number of goals on their travels, highlighting a recurring issue when playing away from the Vitality Stadium - they have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight league away fixtures.

Prediction
As a result, a competitive encounter appears likely, with Bournemouth holding a slight edge. A narrow away victory or a draw looks the most plausible outcome, but given Burnley’s inconsistency in front of the opposition’s goal and Bournemouth’s improved defensive record in recent weeks, this clash could be a low-scoring one.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score - NO.
Three reasons we expect BTTS - NO
- Bournemouth have kept a clean sheet in two of their last three Premier League fixtures.
- Burnley have failed to score in four of their last nine Premier League home fixtures.
- BTTS - NO has landed in the last four direct meetings between Burnley and Bournemouth at Turf Moor.
