Burnley vs Newcastle: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Burnley vs Newcastle in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 19:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: Burnley vs Newcastle
• Date: Tuesday, 30 December 2025
• Kick-off: 19:30 GMT
• Venue: Turf Moor

Burnley will be looking to bounce back after a string of disappointing results, including a recent loss to Newcastle. With a predicted 3-4-3 formation, they might focus on a more defensive approach at home, hoping to exploit counter-attacks with the pace of Edwards and Larsen up front. The midfield trio of Walker, Ugochukwu, and Cullen will be crucial in maintaining possession and breaking down Newcastle's attacks.

Newcastle, on the other hand, have shown inconsistency in their recent form but managed to secure a win against Burnley in their last encounter. Their 4-3-3 setup suggests an attacking mindset, with Woltemade and Gordon likely to cause problems for Burnley's defence. The midfield battle between Tonali, Guimarães, and Ramsey against Burnley's midfield could be the key to controlling the game's tempo.

Match Prediction: Burnley 1-2 Newcastle

Burnley's recent form has been far from ideal, with three losses and two draws in their last five matches. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, managing only four goals in those games. This lack of scoring prowess, coupled with a leaky defence, might affect their confidence going into this match. However, playing at home could provide a slight boost, and they'll be eager to turn their fortunes around against a Newcastle side that have had mixed results of late.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 0-0 vs Everton (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Bournemouth (A)

• Loss: 2-3 vs Fulham (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Newcastle (A)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Crystal Palace (H)

Newcastle's form has been a mixed bag, with one win, two draws, and two losses in their recent outings. Their victory over Burnley in the last meeting will give them some confidence, but the draws and losses against strong teams like Manchester United and Chelsea show they can be vulnerable. The team will need to be more consistent if they want to secure another win against Burnley, especially away from home. Their attacking options look promising, which could be the difference in this match.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 0-1 vs Manchester United (A)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Chelsea (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Sunderland (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Burnley (H)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Tottenham (H)

The head-to-head record between Burnley and Newcastle shows nothing but victories for the Magpies. Most recently, Newcastle triumphed 2-1 at home, continuing their dominance over Burnley. This historical pattern suggests Newcastle might have the upper hand going into this match once again.

• Predicted lineup: Dúbravka (GK), Laurent (DF), Ekdal (DF), Humphreys (DF), Walker (MF), Ugochukwu (MF), Cullen (MF), Pires (MF), Edwards (AT), Broja (AT), Larsen (AT)

Burnley's predicted 3-4-3 formation suggests a focus on defensive solidity with Laurent, Ekdal, and Humphreys at the back. The midfield quartet of Walker, Ugochukwu, Cullen, and Pires will be tasked with both breaking up Newcastle's play and launching quick counter-attacks through Edwards, Broja, and Larsen.

• Predicted lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Miley (DF), Thiaw (DF), Schär (DF), Hall (DF), Tonali (MF), Guimarães (MF), Ramsey (MF), Murphy (AT), Woltemade (AT), Gordon (AT)

Newcastle's expected 4-3-3 setup indicates an intent to control the game through midfield with Tonali, Guimarães, and Ramsey. The attacking trio of Murphy, Woltemade, and Gordon will look to exploit any gaps in Burnley's defence, with Hall and Miley providing width and support from the back.

• Broja vs Hall: Broja's strength and dribbling skills will be tested against Hall's defensive nous.

• Ugochukwu vs Guimarães: Ugochukwu's energy and work rate will be needed to dissipate Guimarães' influence on the midfield area.

• Cullen (Burnley): Cullen's role in breaking up play and distributing the ball will be vital for Burnley's chances.

• Woltemade (Newcastle): Woltemade's ability to finish chances could be the deciding factor for Newcastle.
