Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Tuesday 10th December 2024
Burnley are vying for the 2024/25 Championship title and they will be confident of obtaining all three points tonight when they welcome to Turf Moor a Derby County outfit which are currently sitting just three points clear of the relegation zone.
High number of stalemates
After dropping down from the Premier League at the end of the 2023/24 campaign, Burnley came into the current season with the sole aim of returning back to the top-flight at the first attempt. They opened their account with an impressive 4-1 victory over Luton Town and a subsequent 5-0 demolition of Cardiff City, however a defeat to fellow promotion-hopefuls Sunderland brought their momentum to a grinding halt. Although the Clarets continued by avoiding defeat in their next nine Championship outings, five of these involved sharing the spoils and this high number of stalemates has been an issue as they look to claw their way into pole position. Indeed, as things stand, Scott Parker’s men sit in third position in the Championship table with just two points separating them from table-topping Sheffield United, therefore victory tonight could lift them into pole position (at least for 24 hours) should second-placed Leeds United fail to beat Middlesbrough.
Found the going tough
As far as Derby County are concerned, they hauled themselves up to the Championship at the end of last season alongside Oxford United and Portsmouth, however thus far they have found the going rather tough. The Rams enjoyed a solid start to the campaign with wins in three of their opening five games, however their subsequent fourteen outings have returned just two wins along with five draws and seven defeats, these results leaving them in a lowly 16th position in the league standings.
Firm favourites
The Clarets are understandably firm favourites heading into this evening’s match and with home advantage and some impressive form on their side, we’ll be siding with them to earn a commanding win in what could prove to be a one-sided encounter at Turf Moor.
Back Burnley to win 2-0 at best odds of 6/1
