Burnley vs Plymouth Prediction & Betting Tips (1 October)

Plymouth have not made the start that they would have been hoping for after finally ending their long absence from the Championship, failing to pick up a win or score a goal in their first three matches. Given that Burnley have triumphed nine times in their previous 12 home games at this level, they will fancy their chances of winning this local derby.

With 12 of the previous 17 Burnley matches at the venue in the Championship serving up no more than a couple of goals. This has also been the case in ten of the most recent 13 top-flight fixtures featuring Plymouth, meaning that more of the same is expected when the two sides meet.

At least one of the two keepers has emerged with a clean sheet from 13 of the previous 17 Burnley home matches at this level, so thrilling encounters at this venue have been few and far between. What’s more, 14 of the most recent 17 Burnley away games at the top table of the Championship have followed suit, including in a success at this ground last term.
