Accrington Stanley vs Burnley predictions, betting tips & match preview

Accrington will not be best pleased with their draw for the 2nd round of the League Cup. They will have been hoping either for an easy tie or a game against a big Premier League team, but instead they’ve got newly promoted Burnley. The Premier League side will likely win this game easily, so it seems like the end of the road for Stanley.

Accrington have had a poor start to the new season, winning one, drawing one and losing two of their first 4 games. Worryingly, one of those losses came at home in their last league game, so they come into the fixture with little confidence,if any.

Burnley have started the season in strange fashion, first losing at home against Swansea, before beating Liverpool at home the next week. They had almost none of the ball, but were resilient and managed to take all 3 points away from the game.

Burnley are likely to be far too strong for this Accrington side and we expect them to comfortably win. That’s why we’re going with a tip of Burnley to Win at 7/10 and Burnley to Win 2-0 at 13/2.
