Liverpool vs Burnley Prediction and Betting Tips

Liverpool are in real need of a return to winning ways as the Premier League champions welcome Burnley to Anfield on Thursday night.

The Reds are unbeaten in their last six Premier League meetings with Burnley, albeit they have sometimes found the Lancashire outfit a tough nut to crack.

Two of the last three encounters between the sides at Anfield have ended in 1-1 draws, which will give the Clarets some hope of a potential upset ahead of Thursday’s game.

This English Premier League match between Liverpool and Burnley will be played on Jan 21, 2021 and kick off at 20:00. Check below for our tipsters best Liverpool vs Burnley prediction.

Outright Betting

Liverpool's mighty unbeaten record at home in the Premier League stands at 67 matches and the Reds are red-hot favourites here at 2/9 with Boylesports.

Burnley are winless in seven matches against Liverpool and the visitors are unsurprisingly big underdogs here at 16/1 with William Hill, while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 6/1 with the same firm.

Betting Angles

Liverpool boss Jurgen Kopp will be desperate to see his side reignite their title defence on Thursday night and restore some confidence into the bargain.

However, the Reds may have to be patient in their pursuit of a much-needed three points when faced with one of the most stubborn defensive shapes in the division.

With that in mind, I'll head to the Bet Builder market and combine Liverpool to win, under five match goals and over zero Burnley cards, a 20/23 shot with Bet 365.

The Clarets have failed to strike in six of their last seven top-flight road trips and seven of their last eight Premier league matches have featured fewer than three match goals.

Dyche's dogged outfit are averaging 1.35 yellows per game this term and given that card-happy Mike Dean will officiate this clash I'm happy to back the Clarets to collect their customary caution here.

One player who looks overpriced to pick up a card at Anfield is Burnley's Ashley Westwood, who is 4/1 with BetVictor to find his way into Dean's notebook.

Prediction for Liverpool’s Betting Odds

Liverpool had 66 per cent of the possession when hosting Manchester United on Sunday but lacked a cutting edge up front.

Roberto Firmino fluffed their best openings, while Thiago Alcantara’s long-range effort forced David De Gea into a rare save.

In the end, the Reds were grateful for Alisson denying Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba late on to keep the scores level.

That made it four league games without a victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side, following draws with West Brom and Newcastle and a 1-0 defeat at Southampton.

Captain Jordan Henderson said: “We need to score goals to win games – and I’m not talking just about the front three.

“I’m talking about everyone: midfielders, full-backs getting into the box, set-pieces. Everybody can chip in. We need to start doing that quickly.

“We’ve just got to keep working hard and not think about it too much, because the quality we possess going forward is frightening.

“So it’s not quality, we just need to change our mentality and make sure we’re ruthless when we come in front of goal.”

Sadio Mane did manage to bag a brace versus a youthful Aston Villa outfit in the FA Cup and has a good record against Burnley, netting four times in as many starts when facing them.

Looking at the Liverpool vs Burnley odds, Mane appeals at 10/3 to break the deadlock.

Last Liverpool line-up: Alisson, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Thiago, Henderson, Shaqiri, Firmino, Mane, Salah.

Prediction for Burnley’s Betting Odds

Burnley will take heart from their past exploits at Anfield, with July’s 1-1 draw being a second stalemate here in three seasons.

However, they return with goalscoring problems of their own after Saturday’s loss at West Ham was a third 1-0 defeat in four league outings.

The Clarets did manage to scrape past basement dwellers Sheffield United by the same scoreline during the current drought.

Sean Dyche’s side are only one place above the relegation zone, though, and have now failed to score in six of their last seven away games.

Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes started in attack against the Hammers, with Matej Vydra and Jay Rodriguez introduced in the second half, to no avail.

“You can work on the training ground, but often strikers will tell you, sometimes they find a goal, sometimes a lucky one, however it comes, and it just clicks again,” said Dyche.

“We want to speed that process up obviously, the idea of coaching is to try and speed that situation up.

“We know the four players can operate, we think there’s a nice mix of how we can operate with two strikers, but none of them are quite there at the moment.”

We’re going for a 2-0 home win at 21/4 to finish off our Liverpool vs Burnley betting tips.
