As the Premier League continues to heat up, Newcastle United prepares to host Burnley at St. James' Park on December 6, 2025. With both teams facing contrasting fortunes this season, the stakes are high for the visitors, who find themselves battling against relegation.
Prediction Section
Newcastle enters this match with a mixed form of DWWLL in their last five games, currently sitting 12th in the league with 19 points. Their home performance has been relatively strong, recording four wins, one draw, and two losses in seven matches at St. James' Park. They have scored 12 goals while conceding 9, showing a solid offensive capability.
In contrast, Burnley is struggling at the bottom of the table, ranked 19th with just 10 points. Their recent form is alarming, featuring five consecutive losses (LLLLL). Away from home, Burnley has only managed one win in seven matches, with a dismal record of 10 goals scored and 21 conceded. This stark discrepancy in form and confidence is crucial heading into the match.
Historically, Newcastle has had the upper hand in their recent encounters with Burnley, winning the last two league matches convincingly. In their last match at Turf Moor on May 4, 2024, Newcastle triumphed 4-1, demonstrating their attacking prowess against a struggling Burnley side.
Adding to Burnley's woes, they will be missing key players due to injuries, including Zeki Amdouni, who has been a notable absence in their attack, and defenders like J. Beyer and C. Roberts. This lack of depth will only exacerbate their difficulties against a Newcastle team that has the potential to capitalize on any defensive frailty.
Predicted Outcome
Given Newcastle's home advantage, superior recent form, and Burnley's ongoing struggles, it is reasonable to predict a comfortable win for the home side. Expect Newcastle to secure a 3-1 victory over Burnley, continuing their ascent in the Premier League while pushing Burnley deeper into the relegation battle.
