Expert Betting Tips
It is going to be a clash of the titans on Friday, but I believe the Clarets will get the win. They have been exceptional at home since the start of the season, and their defense is getting stronger every game week. Also, with the strong defense of the hosts, I doubt if the Owls can get any goal out of this game, which will affect the total number of goals at the end of 90 minutes.
Our prediction for the match is for the game to see less than three goals for odds of 1.60 at Betway.
Our second prediction is for at least a team to keep a clean sheet (BTTS-NO) for odds of 1.62 at Bet365.
Our third prediction is Burnley to win for odds of 1.75 at 1xbet.
