Burnley vs Newcastle predictions: Visitors can keep Clarets quiet at Turf Moor
James Milton
Burnley's only league wins this season came against their fellow promoted sides Sunderland and Leeds and bottom club Wolves
Newcastle striker Yoane Wissa scored his first goal for the club in this month's EFL Cup quarter-final win over Fulham
Recommended bet: Newcastle to win 1-0
Newcastle beat 10-man Burnley 2-1 at St James' Park earlier this month and they can sign off 2025 with another narrow win over the Clarets.
The Magpies' league form has been disappointing but they have been competitive in the Champions League and reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup – a trophy they lifted last season.
While defensive injuries are stacking up for manager Eddie Howe, his counterpart Scott Parker has major concerns of his own.
Burnley have picked up just two points from nine games since the start of November and a swift return to the Championship is looming for Parker's men.

Team news
Burnley's Lyle Foster, Hannibal Mejbri and Axel Tuanzebe are at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Defender Maxime Esteve and midfielder Josh Cullen could feature, but Jordan Beyer and Zeki Amdouni remain sidelined.
Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope is fit again, although he may struggle to displace the in-form Aaron Ramsdale.
Yoane Wissa is likely to start on the bench after a long lay-off, while Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Tino Livramento, Dan Burn, Jamaal Lascelles, Anthony Elanga, Emil Krafth and William Osula are all injured.
The stats
Eight of Burnley's last nine Premier League home games had under 2.5 goals and the Clarets failed to score in four of their five defeats at Turf Moor this term.
Burnley have scored just seven first-half goals in 18 league matches.
Newcastle have won just one of their nine away matches in this season's Premier League.
Two of the Magpies' last three league results were 1-0 defeats.
Five of the last seven league meetings between these two sides produced Newcastle wins in which both teams scored.

Prediction
Burnley snapped their seven-match losing streak in the Premier League with a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth and a goalless stalemate at home to Everton.
However, their attacking performances in those games suggest they may struggle to trouble Newcastle's depleted defence at Turf Moor on Tuesday.
Armando Broja's late equaliser at Bournemouth was the Clarets' only shot on target and they failed to test Toffees goalkeeper Jordan Pickford during Saturday's 0-0 draw.
Newcastle have had an extra day of rest following their 1-0 loss at Manchester United, while their previous away trip to Sunderland also ended in a 1-0 defeat.
This time around backing a 1-0 Newcastle win looks a good bet as Howe's men aim to improve an underwhelming record on their travels.
They have won only one of their nine away games in the league, a 4-1 victory at Everton last month, but also had creditable 0-0 draws at Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Leeds.
The Magpies have scored only seven goals in those nine away fixtures, but they have far more potential matchwinners in their squad than Burnley.
Nick Woltemade scored twice in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea before Christmas and summer signing Wissa has finally recovered from a knee injury.
Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy provide a real threat from wide areas and Burnley suffered home defeats to nil against Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Crystal Palace this term.
