Burnley v Oxford United: Predictions, tips and bet builder as boring Clarets look to end goal diet

Burnley will be looking to put on a rare show for their fans when the Clarets welcome in-form Oxford United to Turf Moor this Tuesday night (1945 GMT).

Imagine buying a season ticket for Burnley. You literally sit there watching the สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที world go by while nothing happens.

Scott Parker’s side have produce a total of 10 goalless draws in the Championship this season – with three of them coming in their last four games.

Before the stadium staff at Turf Moor start handing pillows and blankets, Burnley will have to start becoming more aggressive in their pursuit of goals. That starts this Tuesday night against a plucky Oxford side.

Here, we take a closer look at the fixture and pick out some of the best bets along the way.

Burnley to win to nil

The temptation to back a goalless draw is strong. It gets stronger when you see the current odds at 8/1. But surely a team battling for promotion wouldn’t go four games in five without scoring or conceding a goal? Would they?

Burnley is scoring is far more likely than conceding. The Clarets have only concede nine goals this entire Championship season and have kept eight straight clean sheets in the competition.

It’s been over 11 hours of football since Parker’s men last concede which took place before Christmas in a 2-1 win over Watford.

The one result squashe in the middle of their recent goalless escapades is a 5-0 thrashing of Plymouth. While the opposition was weak, the result does prove that there are goals hiding in that Burnley side. With that in mind, we’re backing the hosts to win to nil.
