Tottenham vs Burnley Odds

Date: 16/08/25
Kick-off time: 15:00
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

This Tottenham vs Burnley preview sees Spurs enter a new era under Thomas Frank as they host newly-promoted Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 16th August, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm. This Premier League clash marks Frank’s first league game in charge following Spurs’ Europa League triumph in May. Despite lifting a long-awaited trophy, the North London side must respond to a disappointing league campaign which saw them finish 17th. Burnley, now led by Scott Parker, return to the top flight boasting the Championship’s strongest defensive record and the best away form from last season.

Tottenham vs Burnley Team News

Thomas Frank is contending with a few early injury setbacks. Romanian centre-back Radu Dragusin remains sidelined for several months after undergoing ACL surgery in February. Swedish international Dejan Kulusevski is also unlikely to be available, still recovering from a knock picked up during pre-season.

On the other hand, Burnley will hope to hand a debut to Kyle Walker following his summer arrival. The England international could line up against one of his former clubs, bringing invaluable Premier League experience to Parker’s newly-promoted side.

Tottenham vs Burnley Betting Tips

Tottenham vs Burnley betting tips point towards a balanced encounter where early season momentum is key. One standout market is Tottenham to score exactly two goals. This is backed by a consistent trend across Thomas Frank’s Premier League openers – his sides have netted precisely two goals in three of his four debut fixtures at this level.

A reliable goalscorer market worth consideration is Son Heung-min to score or assist. The South Korean captain boasts an excellent record against Burnley, having been directly involved in nine goals against the Clarets, making him one of the most dangerous attacking options in this fixture.

Tottenham vs Burnley Match Prediction

Tottenham vs Burnley prediction takes into consideration Tottenham’s dismal end to last season at home, combined with Burnley’s imperious away form in the Championship, makes this more evenly poised than some may expect. However, the gulf in Premier League experience and attacking quality still leans this in favour of the hosts. Frank will be eager to implement a clear structure, and his tactical nous could bring greater balance to a Spurs side that lacked consistency under Postecoglou.

Burnley will be compact, disciplined and tough to break down, especially with the league’s best second-tier defensive record from last season. Yet Spurs’ ability to create chances, particularly through Son, should be enough to secure three points – albeit in a tight affair.

Match Prediction: Tottenham to win. Bet with bet365.

Tottenham vs Burnley Correct Score Tips & Prediction

Our Tottenham vs Burnley score prediction is a 2-1 home win. Spurs’ recent record against Burnley supports this – they’ve won four consecutive meetings, including a 2-1 result in their last Premier League encounter. Furthermore, the pattern of Tottenham scoring exactly two goals in Frank’s previous opening-day fixtures adds statistical backing to this prediction.

Burnley will likely offer a stiff defensive test, but Spurs should find just enough attacking sharpness to edge the contest without cruising to victory.

Correct Score Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Burnley. Bet with bet365.

Tottenham vs Burnley Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Tottenham vs Burnley Over/Under goals prediction leans towards Over 2.5 goals. Frank’s teams are typically well-drilled but still manage to produce entertaining contests. Spurs’ defensive frailties remain a concern, especially with Dragusin unavailable, which could offer Burnley the opportunity to get on the scoresheet.

Burnley, despite their reputation for defensive solidity, won’t sit back for 90 minutes. Their impressive away record from last season – where they averaged over 2 points per game on the road – suggests a willingness to engage. Combine that with Tottenham’s firepower and questionable home form, and goals should flow.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

• Tottenham to win
• Over 2.5 total goals
• Son Heung-min to score anytime

This Tottenham vs Burnley Bet Builder tip offers good value considering Son’s track record against Burnley and Frank’s tendency to start seasons with positive attacking outputs. Burnley’s defensive unit will be tested against the pace and creativity of Son, who remains Spurs’ talisman. With Spurs expected to dominate possession and press the initiative, a win with goals – and a decisive moment from Son – represents a strong angle for bettors.

Bet Builder Tip: Tottenham to win, over 2.5 goals, and Son Heung-min to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
