Newcastle United vs Burnley Standings 2024/25: Head-to-Head & League Table

The Premier League standings for Newcastle United and Burnley have diverged significantly in the 2024–25 season. While Newcastle push for a mid-table finish under Eddie Howe, Burnley are entrenched in a relegation battle under Scott Parker. Their head-to-head record, recent form, and league positions offer a clear picture of the gap between the two sides.

Newcastle’s 132nd season and eighth consecutive Premier League campaign has been one of mixed results. Early draws, such as the 1‑1 against Bournemouth in August 2024, were followed by inconsistent away form. Burnley, by contrast, have struggled to find stability, losing 65 percent of their league matches and showing poor home form according to multiple statistical sources. The two sides met twice in the 2025/26 season, with Newcastle taking four points from those encounters.

Match Prediction: Who Is Favored to Win?

What Is Certain and Uncertain About Burnley vs Newcastle?

Established Information

  • Newcastle lead the head‑to‑head 9‑2‑5 (wins‑draws‑losses).
  • Burnley have not won at home against Newcastle since December 2019.
  • Over 1.5 goals occurred in 69% of meetings.
  • Both teams have scored in 56% of the matches.

Information That Remains Unclear

  • Current league positions change after each matchday – live tracking is necessary.

  • Match predictions are probabilistic; no single outcome is guaranteed.
  • The exact total number of meetings varies slightly between sources (16 vs 17).

What Does the Head‑to‑Head Record Mean for This Season?

Newcastle’s historical dominance over Burnley reflects a clear gap in squad quality and consistency. The Magpies are competing for European places, while Burnley are fighting relegation. Home advantage has not helped Burnley – they have lost two of the last three home games against Newcastle. Goal‑scoring trends also favour Newcastle, who average double Burnley’s output in this fixture. Should the two sides meet again in the 2025/26 season, the underlying numbers suggest another Newcastle win is probable, but Burnley’s occasional resilience cannot be dismissed.

The broader context of each team’s season matters. Newcastle’s away form has been patchy (four losses in six away league matches), yet they secured their second away win of the season at Burnley in December 2025. Burnley, meanwhile, have lost 65% of their league matches overall, making any result an uphill battle.
