Burnley are top of the Championship after amassing an impressive 53 points from 25 games played. It’s outstanding that they are averaging more than two points per match in the second flight and they have managed to win 50% of their games on the road. This certainly bodes well for the trip south to Dorset in the FA Cup.
Vincent Kompany might rotate his squad for this clash considering the big prize is promotion to the Premier League, although he will want to also get a confidence booster from winning against opponents who are in the top flight after engineering automatic promotion from the Championship last term.
Gary O’Neil will be keen to get a confidence boost for a Cherries side who are now odds-on for the drop if you compare the latest Premier League relegation betting odds. However, he can ill-afford to risk Kieffer Moore, Phillip Billing or Dominic Solanke for this clash considering that they need to have a breather ahead of EPL fixtures.
We are thinking that a bet on Burnley on the Draw No Bet market could be the way forward here. The Clarets are having a great season and they rarely lose matches, with twelve victories having been secured in the past fifteen matches in all competitions. The goals are being shared all over the park and they even gave Manchester United a close game in the EFL Cup.
