Burnley to Win
Burnley are 73% favorites to win this game after winning 11 of their 14 home games. The Clarets are undefeated at home and have won nine consecutive league fixtures at Turf Moor.
Over 2 Goals
There is almost a 70% probability for this match to produce over two goals. In detail, 87% of Burnley’s home games and 50% of Preston’s away matches ended with two or more goals. In addition, ten of Burnley’s last 12 fixtures in the Championship produced over two strikes.
Burnley to Score the First Goal
One of Burnley’s main aspects of their success during this season is the Clarets’ good start for their matches. To illustrate, Burnley scored first in 72% of their matches in the league. Preston meanwhile conceded first in 45% of their league games.
Burnley
Burnley extended their winning streak to nine after beating Norwich City by 0-3 on the road in the previous round. At the same time, the Clarets pulled away at the top of the table increasing the gap with second-placed Sheffield United to seven points.
Amazing offensive display by Burnley this season as they scored at least a goal in their previous 26 league matches and 15 home matches. The Clarets have improved in every aspect of their game in the last eight rounds especially in defense as they conceded just 0.38 goals per game while scoring 2.25 goals per game in the process.
Preston
With the 1-2 home defeat at the hands of Bristol City, Preston have lost their five home matches in the Championship. The Lilywhites have lost five of their last eight league games and with 40 points are currently lying in the tenth position in the Championship table.
The defense has been the weak link of Preston in the last eight rounds during which they conceded 1.63 goals per game which is 43% fewer than their season’s average of 1.14. However, the Lilywhites scored in ten of their 14 away games and 68% of their points were grabbed on the road as well.
There is no doubt that Burnley are clear favorites not only to win this game but also to finish as champions. The Clarets are showing incredible form under boss Vincent Kompany and their return to the PL is just a matter of time. The 1.50 odds for Burnley to win is very generous and we will back it.
Preston have been faring better in their away games than they have done at home. The Lilywhites have scored on average 1.29 goals per away game this term and were on target in eight of their last nine trips. With odds of 1.85 at 1xBet, we predict Preston to score over 0.5 goals.
