Burnley vs. Liverpool 2/13/22 Premier League Soccer Picks, Predictions, Odds

Burnley and Liverpool face off on Sunday in a key English Premier League showdown at Turf Moor. When these two teams faced off in August of 2021 it was Liverpool that won 2-0. 

Burnley currently sits in 20th place in the standings having picked up 14 points. Each of the last three games for Burnley has ended in a draw. In the last game against Manchester United, they fell behind early but it was a goal by Jay Rodriguez in the 47th minute that tied up the game. Burnley has scored 17 goals total while their defense has given up 28 goals total. Maxwel Cornet has been the top player for Burnley scoring six goals. There are three different players that have scored two goals. In this game, Burnley needs to find a way to control the ball and limit the shots by Liverpool, something that might be tough. 

On the other side of this matchup is Liverpool who sits in 2nd place in the standings having picked up 51 points. Liverpool has won five games in a row across all contests including the last game 2-0 against Leicester City. Liverpool has scored 60 goals total while their defense has given up 19 goals total. Mohamed Salah has been the top player for Liverpool scoring 16 goals and nine assists. Diogo Jota has been the top player for Liverpool scoring 12 goals and adding an assist. In this game Liverpool needs to get the offense out to a fast start. 

Liverpool is the better team, and I expect much of the same as when these two teams faced off in August of 2021. Liverpool is going to score two or three goals, and Burnley is going to have issues even putting shots on goal. Back Liverpool -1.5
