Burnley – West Bromwich Albion

West Bromwich are expected to take at least one point in the away match against Burnley

Many analysts and experts ahead of the 28th game day of the Championships are already virtually considering Burnley as a contender for the next Premier League season. At the moment, you can bet on the Burgundy's first-place finish at odds of 1.37, while no more bets are being taken on the team's direct entry into the elite English division. The club currently has a 16-point advantage over third place, which allows them to play with a looseness and without pressure from the fans and management. West Bromwich do not have that luxury at the moment, as they are on the edge of the playoffs and have to fight for points in every encounter. Despite home-field advantage and the difference in the opponents' positions, bookmakers have suggested Burnley as favourites with only a slight tilt in the odds. Overall, the hosts of the upcoming match look a dominant leaders in the Championship. In their last eleven official meetings, the Borders have won ten times and lost only in the League Cup at the legendary Old Trafford ground to an equally legendary Manchester United. Nor does Burnley's side look like they are in a slump. The team seemingly beat Coventry City modestly a few days ago, scoring the only goal of the match in the 82nd minute. In doing so, the mid-table side failed to put a single shot on Burnley's goal. West Bromwich were considered one of the top five favourites to win the league title. "The Thrashers completely failed in September and October, winning just one game in two months. The subsequent period of the season was on a different level, winning almost every game. Last round, West Bromwich traveled to Luton Town, where they conceded two goals before the eleventh minute of the meeting. The team showed character and overpowered their opponents in the second half, winning 3-2. The Thrashers are currently sitting in sixth place in the table, with just one win capable of progressing further up the table. Burnley and WBA have played each other three times in the last two and a half years. None of the matches have been decided by a winner: 0-0, 0-0, 1-1. We're betting that it will be a hard-fought encounter, with the visitors managing to pick up at least one point.
