Command Analysis
Burnley
EnglandCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Burnley were considered one of the main contenders for promotion and so far they generally live up to this status. With 48 points, Scott Parker team is third in the table and one point behind second-placed Sheffield United, with leader Leeds three points ahead. In the last round, Burnley held on to a goalless draw away to Middlesbrough, thus ending a streak of three wins in a row, but the unbeaten streak has extended to 11 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bayer, Benson and Ramsey are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Burnley are unbeaten in their last 11 matches, winning seven and drawing four.
- Burnley have beaten Stoke City in their last two games
Probable line-up: Trafford - Roberts, Egan-Riley, Esteve, Humphreys - Cullen, Laurent, Anthony, Brownhill, Mejbri - Flemming.
Stoke City
EnglandCurrent form
Stoke City, for objective reasons, were unable to set more ambitious goals than staying in the Championship – so far Ryan Shawcross’s team has been coping with this task. With 25 points, the Potters are in 18th place in the table and four points clear of the relegation zone – so far such a handicap does not allow them to feel safe. Having beaten Sunderland 1:0 in the last round, Stoke City broke a series of two defeats in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Manhoef, Pearson and Thompson are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Stoke City have won just one of their last 10 matches
- Stoke City have scored in five of their last six away games
Probable line-up: Johansson - Seko, Gooch, Phillips, Wilmot, Tchamande - Koumas, Burger, Pae, Moran - Cannon.

3.25Tip and bets
Burnley are currently only third in the table and their current standings do not exactly match the club ambitions - the bet is clearly on a direct ticket to the Premier League. It is obvious that today the Clarets will strive only for victory, Stoke City are seriously inferior in class, and their place in the table clearly shows that there are plenty of problems in the Potters' game, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the visitors have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1) on Burnley . This bet is offered with odds of 1.95
Bet on total
Burnley will certainly be in a very determined mood today and there is a high probability that the hosts will go forward with a large force from the first minutes. The Clarets have a huge advantage in class and it is unlikely that Stoke City have any real chances to play reliably. However, the Potters play boldly even in away matches and are distinguished by excellent implementation, an exchange of goals will certainly take place.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.15
Bet on corners
Burnley are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
The bet is Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Burnley. This bet is offered for 1.75
