Burnley vs Blackburn Prediction

Burnley Form

Burnley managed one win in the last three matches, which was a 5-0 victory against Cardiff. They went on to lose 1-0 against Sunderland, before getting dumped in a 2-0 defeat against Wolverhampton. Burnley won four of their previous six Championship games at the Turf Moor. They both drew and lost once, as they conceded two and scored 14 goals.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Burnley should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

Blackburn Form

Blackburn recorded a diverse set of results in their last three matches. They began with a 2-2 draw with Norwich. A 2-1 win against Oxford followed, before a 1-2 defeat against Blackpool in their most recent match. Blackburn won half their previous six away matches in the Championship, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored ten goals whilst conceding eight.

Burnley would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.

Burnley disappointingly lost their last two matches, but in front of their supporters at Turf Moor, they will kick back and book a much-needed win.
