Burnley v West Brom Betting Preview – Premier League 19th August 3.00pm

Burnley turned out one of the results of the weekend as they went to Chelsea and recorded themselves a 3-2 win and it was fully deserved as well. They took their chances and dug in deep when they needed to. Can they follow it up with another three points as they face West Brom on home soil this weekend? The Baggies also won their opener, taking down Bournemouth in a tight opener at the Hawthorns.

Burnley v West Brom Betting Tips

The main reason that Burnley didn’t get relegated from the top flight last season was their home form. They were brilliant at Turf Moor where they posted a W10 D3 L6 record in the top flight. They will be full of confidence going into this, their first home game of the new campaign after producing that stunning 3-2 win away at Chelsea last weekend. That was just a brilliant performance from them last season and Sam Vokes, who netted a couple for them, is trading at 12/5 in the anytime goalscorer market going into this one. You would normally expect a game against West Brom to be a low scoring affair and under 2.5 goals at Bet Victor returns a price of 8/15. That having been said, each of the last four between these at Turf Moor have produced over the goal line and there is a price of 7/5 on this going over that 2.5 goal line. You can have a flutter on this one going the same way for a price of 7/5.

To add weight to that, each of the last ten games between these two have seen at least three goals. So it is surprisingly a fixture which was produced plenty of drama and goals. The Clarets have the home from going against West Brom as they are unbeaten in their last six home games against the Baggies now (W2 D4). If you are going with the trend of goals here, both teams to score at 21/20 with Bet Victor is another option. Up in the Bet Victor correct Score market, a Burnley 2-1 is looking to have some appeal then, given the number of goals that have been around between these two recently. West Brom opened their season with a win at the Hawthorns over Bournemouth, but they struggled badly on the road last term as they won just three times, suffering nine losses. So they weren’t reliable on the road, and they only managed 16 away goals last term. Burnley will be fired up for this, can the Baggies handle it?

Burnley v West Brom Predictions

Draw: The Baggies didn’t look particularly potent at all going forward last weekend and Burnley will give them problems. But the Baggies are generally a tough side to beat and they would be happy enough without a point out on the road, so settle on the draw.
