BURNLEY v FULHAM
Tuesday 2nd November 2015 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Burnley continued their pursuit of automatic promotion in the Championship on Saturday when they grabbed all three points in a 2-1 home win over Huddersfield Town to move within two points of league leaders Brighton.
Burnley now boast an impressive home record of 5-1-1 13/7 as a result and seem to be reaping the rewards of sticking with manager Sean Dyche despite relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season – a decision many bigger clubs would perhaps do well to follow instead of a knee-jerk reaction.
The Clarets are now unbeaten in their last five matches with earlier wins over Rotherham United, Bolton and Blackburn Rovers while forward Andre Gray (8 goals) has been a fine capture from Brentford and may notch again tonight.
Fulham have again been a little disappointing this campaign as they sit in 10th spot and some way off their expectations of challenging for a play-off spot. However, the Cottagers have put together a useful five-match unbeaten run recently which includes back-to-back wins over Reading and Bristol City.
Fulham remain inconsistent on their travels though as their overall away record of 2-3-2 13/10 indicates while their successes on the road so far have been limited to wins at Rotherham United and Bristol City who are both situated in the bottom four of the Championship.
To put it bluntly, I expect another Burnley win here, and until the Clarets let me down at Turf Moor, I’ll continue to back them as their momentum continues on home turf.
Pick: Burnley straight win @ 1.95 Bet Victor
