Newly-promoted Burnley will have the daunting task of visiting Tottenham for their Premier League opener. The Europa League winners will be looking for a good start to the domestic campaign, especially after failing to secure another European Trophy midweek – The UEFA Supercup.

Failing to capitalise on a 2-goal advantage against PSG and ultimately losing out on penalties will surely have left a sour taste. Yet, Thomas Frank’s men must soldier on, as their Premier League opener is also important. Despite it being against a far more modest team, that of Burnley, Spurs must still be wary. Last season, Tottenham were also up against a newly promoted side, Leicester, in their opener, but ultimately failed to secure the 3 points. With results in the pre-season being mixed, Thomas Frank will surely have his hands full to improve upon last season’s miserable 17th-placed finish, and a flying start here can set the tone for just that.

From a realistic point of view, Burnley is without a doubt the outsider. Despite having a fantastic last season, breaking defensive records and gathering 100 points, the jump from the Championship to the Premier League is very steep. Tottenham, despite having a dreadful last season in the domestic league, still presents a formidable challenge for the Clarets. With a whole host of new players arriving, numbering no fewer than 13 at present, and three key players leaving the club, Burnley’s squad will need to adjust rapidly to face the quality of the Premier League.

Spurs have dominated this H2H as they have won the last 4 consecutive matchups against Burnley. A more detailed look at just the games where the Spurs are the host will also reveal their dominance, as they have not lost a single game against the Clarets on home turf.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley Betting Prediction
My pick here is for Spurs to score over 1.5 goals. It certainly seems doable, especially given the fact that they managed to do so against PSG. Burnley is a favourable opponent for Tottenham, especially at home, where the latter has not suffered a defeat throughout its history and has managed to score a good amount of goals overall.
