The Citizen (Gauteng)

Khaya’s picks

-

Two teams from the bottom tier of the Premier League go against each other at the Turf Moor tonight.

Burnley played out an away draw against Leicester last week. The moral victory, however, belonged to them, considerin­g their lower standing in the league and that they played away.

Newcastle has been impressing in recent matches, recording tough wins against top-tier teams.

They took advantage of playing in front of their home crowd with a 2-1 scoreline against sixth-placed Bournemout­h.

I’m tempted to give this match to Newcastle, but I think the safest bet is a share of the spoils. Pool name: S6 V1 P2 M1: Cagliari v Torino. Away win for Torino Tip: Torino = 3 M2: Hamburger SV v Union Berlin. Victory for Hamburger Tip: Hamburger = 1 M3: Metz v Gazelec Ajaccio. Win for Ajaccio Tip: Ajaccio = 3 M4: Crotone v Cosenza. Away victory for Cosenza Tip: Cosenza = 3 M5: Burnley v Newcastle United. Previewed above Tip: Draw = 2 M6: Real Sociedad v Celta de Vigo. Home win for Sociedad
