Tottenham vs Burnley Premier League Prediction (16.08.2025)

On Saturday, August 16, 2025, at 21:00 WIB, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the local club will host Burnley in the opening round of the 2025/26 English Premier League. Last season, the hosts finished 17th in the Premier League, while the visitors claimed Championship silver, missing out on the title to Leeds only on goal difference.

In the Tottenham vs Burnley matchup, bookmakers view the London side as the clear favorite. Betting odds are 1.37 for a Spurs win, 5.15 for a draw, and 8.95 for a Clarets victory. Football analysts expect moderate scoring in the upcoming clash: over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.71, while both teams to score is offered at 2.02.

Tottenham Hotspur

Last season would have been a complete disaster for the Lilywhites if not for their UEFA Europa League trophy win. However, Ange Postecoglou’s work was still deemed unsatisfactory, and he was replaced by new head coach Thomas Frank from Brentford.

It will be interesting to see how what is essentially a new team starts the new campaign. The club’s management was active in the summer transfer market. The most expensive signing was right winger Mohammed Kudus from West Ham. A notable departure was Son Heung-min’s move to Los Angeles FC after many years as one of the team’s leaders.

Burnley

Scott Parker’s team made a strong late surge in the 2024/25 Championship season and even contended for the title. Their return to the Premier League is a great gift for their fans, but the priority now is to stay in the top flight. Judging by the summer transfers, the club is not aiming beyond its means but is determined to fight for mid-table security. In August, they completed the signings of young midfielder Chimuanya Ugochukwu and forward Armando Broja from Chelsea.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Since 2022, the teams have met five times. The Londoners lead the win count 4–1. In the 2023/24 season, Tottenham defeated the Clarets three times — twice in the Premier League and once in the domestic cup.

Prediction

It’s hard to predict what the revamped Spurs squad will show. Their recent friendlies were against strong opponents — Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Bayern Munich. Burnley, meanwhile, rely on a well-drilled core, so the match should be competitive. We suggest betting on over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.71.
