Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Scott Parker and Chris Wilder to got all-out defensive here, but we're certainly not expecting a deluge of goals as Burnley and Sheff Utd go head-to-head. The statistics belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.53 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.

Sheffield United's defensive record is very strong, Chris Wilder's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive Championship games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.3 for Burnley makes sense in this context.
