As part of the next match of the English Championship, the players of Newcastle and Burnley will come face to face. Which of the opponents will get the victory in this confrontation. Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Newcastle
The Magpies failed their performances in the League Cup, where the team stumbled already at the first stage, losing in a penalty shootout to Burnley. Everything is much worse for the home team in the national championship, where for 14 rounds Newcastle could not get a single victory. Seven draws brought 7 points and 20th place in the standings. It is worth noting that the magpies had the most realistic chance to win in the last round, in the match against Norwich, but the hosts failed to keep the winning score on the scoreboard. The meeting ended with a draw in the match against the Canaries (1:1).
Burnley
Last season, the "maroon" managed to stay in the elite championship, and fans are waiting for a repeat of this result in the new championship. The start of the new season turned out to be uncertain. Dyche's team managed to get only 1 victory in 13 rounds, and also drew 7 times. For four meetings in a row, the "maroon" do not lose. On account of the guests' success with Brentford, as well as draw results in matches with Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton.

Forecast
It's time! The Magpies had another perfect chance to win their first victory of the season. The opponent, I must admit, is suitable. After the misfire with Norwich, the hosts will do everything to regain the fans' trust, and three points scored is the best excuse for the failed first part of the championship.
