Burnley will be extremely eager to turn their form around after they lost last time out in the league to Sunderland, and have had a transfer window to forget with plenty of departures. For the East Lancashire Derby though, we’re backing them to win.
First of all Burnley have a sensational record in recent history for this fixture. They have won all six of their last six meetings with Blackburn, and haven’t lost to them at home since 2010, when Damien Dunn scored the winner.
Burnley are also a side that reloishes the chance to play in front of their home fans. The last time they were in the Chmapionship, they won the joint most home games in the league (16), and converted the most home goals in the division (49).
Blackburn have looked strong in the league so far, with two wins and a draw in their opening three games. But for us, the quality in the Burnley side that still remains will be too much for them to handle.
Were predicting a Burnley win for this match. Through our bookmakers, you can get odds of 17/20 which would see a return of £18.50 from a £10 stake.
