Burnley - Plymouth Argyle predictions

With the odds set at 1.50 for a home win, Burnley winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Plymouth Argyle fans are expecting them to triumph at The Clarets this Tuesday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

We last saw Burnley play against Oxford United in a hard-fought away game. Championship betting odds were quite optimistic about their chances despite the home-field disadvantage, but neither side managed to convincingly pull ahead for the duration of the match.

This game’s away team impressed their home supporters last round by utterly dominating Luton Town, which was the complete opposite of what most Championship betting predictions expected. With both a lead at halftime and a 3:1 goal difference, Plymouth Argyle definitely proved that they can punch above their weight.

The previous 3 times we saw The Clarets play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

Plymouth Argyle fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 6 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Nathan Redmond, Hjalmar Ekdal, Hannes Delcroix, Manuel Benson are all sidelined due to injury, which makes The Clarets’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
