Burnley
- Burnley are winless in 4 home matches (across all competitions), drawing 3 and losing 1.
- Nicky Hayen took over at Burnley on 10 July 2026 and he has immediately set about establishing his own identity upon the team.
- A possession-first setup is the base, but he has added more of a vertical edge, more aggression from the full-backs when moving forward and a more aggressive counter-press than the Clarets produced under Vincent Kompany.
- The Clarets are in bad shape, they're coming into this one off the back of a 2-2 home draw with RCD Espanyol after away losses to AFC Ajax and Real Salt Lake.
- Burnley's last 10 matches across all competitions reads: W0, D3, L7.
Notts County
- Notts County have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 away matches (across all competitions), conceding 9 goals during that time.
- Martin Paterson has been in charge of the Magpies since 22 June 2025 and his team have been less frantic in the possession-based nature, more measured and organised.
- They play with wing-backs, trigger the press selectively and look to counter quickly when space is available.
- Paterson's men have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 5 across their last 10 across all competitions.
- The Magpies come into this clash on the back of a 3-game losing streak that has knocked their confidence a little.
Betting Insights
- Burnley are the overwhelming favorites here at 1.56, with Notts County coming in at 5.5 and the draw at 4.0.
- Both teams to score is shaded towards 'Yes' at 1.73, but Burnley's improvement in the final third makes the cleaner option 'Burnley and over 1.5 goals' at the same price.
- Burnley have scored 1.25 goals per match and conceded 1.50 per match at home across all competitions so far this season.
Prediction
We're expecting a bit of a goal-fest here and a narrow win for the hosts.
