Command Analysis
Burnley
EnglandCurrent form
Burnley played in the Premier League last season, but the team did not have enough strength to stay in the elite division. As a result, the hosts took 19th place and went back to the Championship, where they immediately indicated their intention to return to the Premier League. In the first two rounds, Scott Parker's charges won crushing victories over strong Luton (4:1) and Cardiff (5:0), but in the third match, the Clarets lost to Sunderland (0:1). After that, the team also flew out of the League Cup, losing to Wolverhampton (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have quite a few players in the infirmary. They will have to do without Jordan Beyer, Hannes Delcroix, Hjalmar Ekdal, Aaron Ramsey, Nathan Redmond and Tresor Ndayshimiye.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not scored a single goal in the last two matches.
- Burnley have won just one of their five home games
Probable lineup : Trafford, Roberts, Egan-Riley, Esteva, Pires, Vitinio, Brownhill, Massango, Hountondji, Rodriguez, Foster
Blackburn Rovers
EnglandCurrent form
The once very attractive Premier League club is now unable to rise from the Championship, and last season they almost dropped to League 1, but still managed to break away from the bottom three by three points. Blackburn started this season well and has not lost a single time in the Championship. The team managed to beat Derby County (4:2) and Oxford United (2:1), and also did not lose away to one of the favorites, Norwich (2:2). In the League Cup, after an easy victory over Stockport (6:1), there was an unexpected defeat to Blackpool.
Disqualifications and injuries
Harry Leonard and Scott Wharton will miss the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The visitors have scored in 14 matches in a row
- The team has not lost in away matches for eight matches in a row
Tentative line-up : Pearce - Brittain, Carter, Higham, Pickering - Wyman, Buckley, Tronsted, Sigurdsson - Schmodics, Ohashi.

8.00Bet At least one team will not score
The hosts have not conceded in five head-to-head matches in a row
2.10Bet Number 1 in the final score
This pattern has worked in three of the visitors' last four matches
1.65Tip and bets
The hosts have lost two matches in a row and it is time to break this series. The team has one of the best squads in the league, despite a large number of injured. In the only home match of the season, Burnley celebrated a big victory, we think that the hosts will be successful now.
Our prediction is Burnley to win in 1.90
Bet on total
Both teams started the season with big wins, but their enthusiasm did not last long. Now the opponents are trying to act more pragmatically, so this match will probably not be productive.
Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.00
Bet on corners
The hosts are considered clear favourites, so they will probably be able to seize the initiative from the very first minutes. We think that Burnley will have an advantage in corners.
Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-2.5) on Burnley with odds of 2.13
