Burnley v Derby

Burnley vs Derby County Preview

Burnley will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Championship to seven games when they play host to Derby County at Turf Moor on Tuesday night following a 1-1 draw at home with Middlesbrough on the weekend, while five of Burnley's last six games overall have seen the hosts keep a clean sheet as well.

Derby County slipped to a third defeat on the trot in the English second tier over the weekend when The Rams were dealt an almost expected 2-0 defeat away from home at the Championship league leaders, Leeds United, leaving the east midlands club in 16th place in the table.

Within Burnley's solid looking six-match unbeaten sequence in the domestic second tier, The Clarets have collected important wins against Swansea City, Bristol City, Coventry City and Stoke City respectively along with useful points gained in draws with West Brom and Middlesbrough.

The hosts have been dealt just two defeats so far in this season's Championship campaign, both of which were incurred on their travels at Sunderland and Millwall, but solid results on home soil at Turf Moor have ensured Scott Parker's side still remain unbeaten in their own backyard.

Five wins along with four draws indicate how tough Burnley have been to face at Turf Moor, as well as keeping six clean sheets within their nine home games to date this term.

Derby County stumbled to a third league defeat on the trot in the Championship on Saturday when Paul Warne's side were dealt a 2-0 loss in Yorkshire against Leeds United at Elland Road, which also followed previous losses at the hands of Swansea City and Sheffield Wednesday.

Indeed, Derby County have had to endure a rather barren looking spell in recent times in the Championship as The Rams have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 14 matches overall in the English second tier.

In addition, Derby County have also been handed seven defeats as well within this period so the prospects of an away win here do seem to be slim at best, especially as the east midlands visitors have registered just the single win on the road all season to date.

Having also slumped to six defeats within their 10 away games so far this season as well, this does not appear to bode well for this upcoming visit to Turf Moor as The Rams have also failed to keep a single clean sheet on their travels so far in this Championship campaign.

Burnley v Derby County Verdict

Burnley have held the upper hand over Derby County in no uncertain fashion in previous exchanges as The Clarets have picked up eight wins out of the last 10 encounters, and the hosts once again look in control here as well.

Therefore, our main bet will be Burnley win @ 1.65
