Premier League: Burnley vs Tottenham

From a statistical point of view, Burnley scored 20 goals in 22 league rounds, conceded 29 goals, and was slightly better on both ends of the attack and defense than several teams near the relegation zone.
Burnley's recent state has shown signs of recovery, with 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss in the last 5 games, during which it forced arsenal and Manchester United to draw the two major Premier League giants, which shows that the team still has a certain way to face strong teams. In the last round of away games against Brighton, the team played a turnaround battle, with goals from Weghorst, Brancho and Rennon, sweeping the opponent 3-0, while also returning the team to the winning track. But it is worth noting that Burnley's recent week of double matches, to know that the average age of the team reached 30 years old, is the oldest team in the Premier League, in terms of physical fitness may be difficult to sustain.
Tottenham's season has also experienced a change of coach, although Conte took over the team is the coach, but due to the unstable state of Kane and Son Heung-min in the front, this also seriously affected the team's performance. At present, after 23 rounds of the league, it has achieved 12 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses, ranking 8th in the league with 39 points, fortunately, the team is not much different from the European game at present, and it is in the case of 3 rounds of less matches, if the team can seize the fighter and grab the score in time, the European qualification is still expected.
Tottenham Hotspur played away to Manchester City in the last round of the league, this game can be said to play very thrillingly, twice led by the opponent twice equalized by the opponent, but Kane played bravery, completed the kill in the stoppage time, and finally took a very high gold 3 points at the Etihad Stadium 3-2, but also made the morale of the team high. Spurs are still away from home, and before the game, manager Conte said, "For us, they will be a very difficult team to deal with, we have to know that, and playing against Burnley has never been easy. ”
In terms of past encounters between the two teams, Burnley has played Against Tottenham Hotspur in the past 10 times, achieving a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 7 defeats, and the past performance is obviously at a disadvantage. From the comparison of the strength of the two teams, the two sides are not in a grade at all, Burnley is a relegation team, and Tottenham Hotspur was once one of the top 6 in the Premier League, and the bottom line is very different.
