“I will he surprised if this scoreline happens” – Berbatov gives his shocking prediction for Burnley vs Chelsea
Former Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur superstar Dimitar Berbatov thinks Chelsea and Burnley will play out a draw this weekend. The two London-based teams will meet in a Premier League game at Turf Moor on Saturday,
Both sides find themselves in the bottom half of the table going into this match. The Blues are 11th with just eight points from their first seven games, while the Clarets are 18th with just four points.
Despite the difference in their positions in the standings, Berbatov feels not much may separate the two teams on Saturday. The Bulgarian, who scored 94 goals and laid out 47 assists in 229 career Premier League matches, wrote in his prediction column for Metro:
“Both teams are struggling in a way of their own. Chelsea are still underperforming in my opinion, but It’ll still be a massive surprise if Burnley win. However given that they got the win against Luton last time out I will go for a draw. Prediction: 1-1.”
Chelsea and Burnley will both enter this contest on the back of a win in their last league match. Mauricio Pochettino’s side beat Fulham 2-0 at Craven Cottage, while Vincent Kompany’s troops edged Luton Town 2-1 at Kenilworth Road.
