On Sat Oct 23rd, Burnley and Southampton will play a match in Southampton in a clash of the Premier League. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Southampton is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Leeds United. Armando Broja scored the first goal for Southampton in the 53rd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Leeds United couldn’t muster any offence and Southampton ran away with the shutout win. Southampton looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Burnley recorded a 0-2 loss against Manchester City. Bernardo Silva struck first for Manchester City in the 12th minute, then Kevin De Bruyne added another in the 70th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Burnley couldn’t manage to score, and Manchester City took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Southampton won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Burnley is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Ben Mee and Maxwel Cornet each only have 1 goal in their last five. James Ward-Prowse and Armando Broja are the top scorers for Southampton in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
