Burnley vs Blackpool Prediction: Burnley are more hungry for a win

Burnley will take on Blackpool at Turf Moor in game week five of the EFL Championship. Will we see Burnley making a stride towards the top half of the table or will Blackpool continue their impressive form from midweek?

Burnley form

Burnley started their campaign with a win but hasn't won any game since starting day losing one and drawing two games in the process. They are currently in 12th position in the league. Vincent Kompany's side has to win this game if they need to keep the promotion hopes alive. Their new forward Scott Twine will be sidelined due to injury in this game. Clarets will be looking for their first victory on Turf Moor against Blackpool. 

Burnley Predicted Lineup

Muric; Roberts, Harwood-Bellis, Taylor, Maatsen; Brownhill, Cork, Cullen; Bastien, Rodriguez, Costelloe

Blackpool City Form

Blackpool have been inconsistent in recent time. Though they are one point off the top six, they won only two in the last five games across all competitions. The Seasiders sneaked a narrow 1-0 victory against QPR in the midweek. They do not have any new injuries following the game against QPR. Blackpool will be looking to build on the victory from the last game. 

Blackpool Predicted Lineup

Grimshaw; Connolly, Ekpiteta, Williams, Thompson; Dougall, Carey, Fiorini; Bowler, Yates, Lavery

Expert betting tips

Burnley will be looking to stamp their authority in the game with no wins in the last three games. We are expecting a dominating Burnley performance possession-wise. Both the teams are not netting a lot of goals at the moment and we expect a similar pattern in this game as well.

• Team 1 to win for 1.57;
