Our prediction for this Championship match:
A game between Preston and Burnley will bring down the curtain on Tuesday’s program in the Championship round 10. The Lilywhites have conceded no more than one goal in the process, and, no doubt, they will continue to rely on their rock-solid defence in the midweek fixture. Daniel Johnson is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while all Andrew Hughes, Ben Woodburn, Bambo Diaby, and Sean Maguire remain on the sidelines with injury.
The Clarets, on the other hand, aim to stay in the playoffs berth. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals as Burnley have conceded only three goals in total on the travels this term. As for the away side, goalkeeper Arijanet Muric should recover in time to face Preston, with Kevin Long and Scott Twine likely to return to contention as well. Ashley Westwood remains in the recovery room with a broken ankle.
Highlighted Player (Scott Sinclair):
At the age of nine, Scott Sinclair joined Bristol Rovers youth school and seven years later he signed a deal with Chelsea. However, the winger played no more than five league games for Chelsea as he spent a big part of his career on loan at Plymouth, QPR, Charlton, Crystal Palace, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic, WBA and Aston Villa. He played for Swansea City between 2010 and 2012, scoring 28 goals in 82 league appearances for the Welsh outfit.
On 19 May, 2015 Sinclair signed a permanent deal with Aston Villa, but he failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign. He scored only two goals in 21 league appearances for the team and the Villans eventually dropped to the Championship.
The Aston Villa winger, who is capable of playing on both sides of the field, has 7 caps for England U21 and it has to be noted that he made 4 appearances for Great Britain, scoring one goal for Team GB. Scott Sinclair was born in Bath, England on 25 March, 1989.
Highlighted Team (Burnley):
Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
