Premier League: Burnley vs Manchester United
At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 9, 2022, the 24th round of the Premier League, Burnley will play at home against the "Red Devils" Manchester United. Burnley has performed extremely badly this season, after 19 league rounds, he has achieved 1 win, 10 draws and 8 losses, ranking at the bottom of the league with 13 points, and currently has a 3-point gap with Norwich in the safe zone, fortunately, this is caused by the situation of 3 rounds of less matches, although there is a chance to jump out of the relegation zone, but the follow-up schedule will also be very close, which is also a great test of the team's physical fitness. In terms of sending data, Burnley has scored 16 goals in 19 league games this season, losing 27, and although the defensive end is good, the attacking end with an average of less than 1 goal per game is the main reason for the team's poor performance, and it is currently the second least team in the league.
Burnley has not won 10 consecutive games, but there are remarkable points during the period, in the face of strong teams such as Chelsea, West Ham United and Arsenal, the team can grab points, which shows that Burnley still has some practical tactics against strong teams. It is worth noting that Burnley has achieved 1 win, 5 draws and 2 losses in 8 home games this season, although the home ranking is low, but there are only 2 defeats, this result is more important.
Manchester United is a giant team in the Premier League, this season brought in strong reinforcements such as Ronaldo and Sancho, but the first half of the league was still very sluggish, the club had to start the coaching process, since Ronnick took over the coaching seal, only one defeat to Wolves, the red devils' state is gradually picking up. Manchester United currently after 22 rounds of league, has achieved 11 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, ranked 4th in the league with 38 points, although returning to the Champions League area, but there is a 19-point difference with the top manchester City, the impact on the league title is basically hopeless, champions league qualification may be the team's ultimate goal in the league.
United have been unbeaten in their last five matches and seem to be relatively stable, and in the FA Cup, after 120 minutes of fighting, the penalty was eliminated by Championship side Middlesbrough, stopping at lap 4. Fortunately, the league end of the points battle is not reduced, the last round of the league home against West Ham United, the possession rate of 57%, 12 shots on goal 3 shots on target, the number of shots is 3 times the opponent, in the stoppage time with Rashford's goal, finally won 1-0.
In terms of past encounters between the two teams, Burnley has achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 7 defeats in the last 10 matches against Manchester United, and the past is clearly at a disadvantage, and the first leg of this season has lost 1-3 away from home. In terms of recent situations, Burnley has not won many consecutive regular matches, but there are still some means to grab points against strong teams; and Manchester United's form is very stable, but the FA Cup exit still more or less affects the morale of the team. Judging from the current attitude of all parties, it is still obvious to give the away team obvious support, combined with the strength and status of both sides, it is not difficult for Manchester United to take all 3 points in this battle.
