The match of the 25th round of the Premier League between Burnley and West Ham United will take place on february 7 at Turf Moor. Burnley vs West Ham United: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Burnley
Burnley entered the previous round having had three consecutive draws in the league – the longest unbeaten run for the team this season. The home side drew with Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United. However, the visit to Sunderland ended in disaster – 0:3. Interestingly, that was only the third heavy defeat in the 2025/26 Premier League. Thus, the team comes into the upcoming meeting on a 15-match winless run in the Premier League, which includes 5 draws and 10 losses. It is unsurprising that with such results the club is languishing in the relegation zone and already trails the safe 17th place by 11 points.
- The home side has not won in eight consecutive Premier League home matches (3 draws and 5 losses).
- At least four goals were scored in 4 of Burnley’s last 5 league matches.
- The club has not won the second half in its last 8 home Premier League games (5 draws and 3 losses).
Potential Burnley Lineup (4-5-1)*
Martin Dúbravka – Maxim Estev, Bashir Humphreys, Axel Tuanzebe, Kyle Walker – Lucas Pires, Lesley Ugochukwu, Florentino, Marcus Edwards, Jaydon Anthony – Lyle Foster.
The squad has striker Zeku Amduni, defender Connor Roberts, midfielders Mike Trezor, Josh Callen and Louis Bayer sidelined with injuries.
West Ham United
West Ham United sit in 18th place in the standings, trailing the safe 17th spot by 6 points. The visiting team had decent chances to add to its points tally in the previous round but lost away to Chelsea 2:3. During the derby the visitors led by two goals, but they collapsed in the second half and conceded the decisive goal in the 92nd minute. Prior to that the visiting team had won two consecutive league matches, and the side had scored at least two goals in each of its last three Premier League games. One more issue stands out – West Ham United concede more than any other team in the Premier League, on average exactly 2 goals per game.
- The club has failed to win in 11 of its last 13 league matches (4 draws and 7 losses).
- At least three goals were scored in West Ham United’s last 6 Premier League matches.
- Both teams scored in the visitors’ previous four Premier League games.
Potential West Ham United Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Alphonse Areola – El Hadji Malick Diouf, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Jean-Clair Todibo – Tomas Soucek, Krisencio Summerville – Mateush Fernandes, Pablo Felipe, Jarrod Bowen – Valentin Castellanos.
Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is out with an injury. Defender Jean-Clair Todibo will miss the match due to suspension.

Burnley vs West Ham United: Match Prediction
This fixture will feature two opponents who are among the bottom three. Both clubs are focused solely on victory, but judging by current form the visitors are closer to that outcome. The visiting team have started winning again and, most importantly, have been scoring consistently. West Ham United have managed 7 goal attempts that resulted in goals across their last three league matches. At the same time, in the current Premier League the club has only once left the field without conceding.
Both teams are clearly the worst defensively. Burnley have kept only three clean sheets this season. However, the team scored in 7 of their last 10 Premier League games. With high motivation on both sides, the opponents in a head-to-head clash are unlikely to sit back and will spend the match attacking. It is also worth noting that at least four goals were scored in each of the last three meetings between these teams in the Premier League.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
* For each team the starting lineup shown is from its last match in this competition.
