Burnley has enjoyed only a single win in 5 games against Preston, and the win came at home in 2009 with 3:1.
Since then however the team had a season in Premier League, where they learned a thing or two, and had a really good home record at one point with 6 wins, 6 draws and only 2 losses.
However Burnley hardly got any points in away games, and logically returned to Championship. Currently after 4 rounds, the team is taking the 5th place with 2 home wins, and 1 away loss and 1 away draw.
Looks like this season the team will vastly depend on home games as in the last season. Preston is currently 4th from the bottom, just above the red zone, with a win and a loss at home, and 2 losses away. Preston, along with Portsmouth, are the division’s lowest scorers, with just one goal each.
There have been four red cards in the last four clashes between the two sides. Burnley has already gathered 2 red cards in 4 games, which leads me to think about that great bet “Sending Off” with odds of 3.15
The Betting Verdict?
Burnley to win @ 1.75 (Register at Betfair.com – 25£ Sign up Bonus): The home factor, the good shape of Burnley at home, and the horrible stats of Preston away, all point to a victory for Burnley which seems to be the best bet here. However if you feel like taking a risk today, go with that “Sending Off” bet, due to the fact that in 4 games, these teams got 4 red cards, and Burnley has already gotten 2 in 4 games. The odds are 3.15
