Burnley to Win

Reasoning

Reason for tip

Burnley could be worth backing to bounce back from their heavy defeat to Lincoln when they host Portsmouth. Despite their poor league position, the Clarets have scored in 24 of their last 25 Championship games, demonstrating their attacking threat. Portsmouth have won three of their last four matches, but Burnley’s consistent scoring record gives the hosts hope of an upset.

Burnley 2-1

Reasoning

Reason for tip

A narrow home victory appeals, although Burnley’s defensive struggles suggest Portsmouth can also get on the scoresheet. Eleven of Burnley’s 12 Championship matches this season have seen both teams score, making another encounter with goals at both ends likely. With the hosts looking to end their three-game winless run, a 2-1 Burnley victory looks a decent correct-score option.

Burnley can spring surprise against Portsmouth

Burnley can bounce back from their heavy 4-1 defeat to Lincoln when they host Portsmouth at Turf Moor on Saturday. Nicky Hayen’s side are the best bet to secure a victory over John Mousinho’s team.

Portsmouth are 11 places and ten points above Burnley in the table. The hosts, who have won once, drawn five and lost six of their 12 games this season, are 22nd in the Championship, while Portsmouth sit 11th with five wins, three draws and four defeats.

The home side will be confident of finding the net, with Burnley having scored in 24 of their last 25 league games. They have been in fine form going forward, including a 5-0 win over QPR in April.

Portsmouth come into this game in better form than Burnley. They have been winners in three of their last four Championship games, while Burnley are without a win in three matches and have failed to win nine of their last ten.

Burnley may be able to edge out Portsmouth in a closely-fought game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Eleven of Burnley’s 12 Championship matches this season have seen both teams score.
