Burnley v Derby County Preview
Tonight's live match features two teams who seem on a "draw wish" this season. Burnley in fact have drawn 7 of their last eight games, a testament to how Steve Cotterill has tightened up the team. He's a highly respected manager and if he can build on this sound defensive foundation, Burnley could be a force again. They have scored an above average 11 goals at home this season as well?..so they are not particularly goal shy at Turf Moor. If you believe in these things?..a high scoring draw is on the cards.Stan James bet Burnley?..Evens, The Draw??.9/4, and Derby??.12/5. The Burnley team news is that they are more or less at full strength. Frank Sinclair was going to miss this game with a suspension but he's been cleared to play. Derby on the other hand have problems with a number of their regulars. Lee Camp their keeper is suspended. Striker Tommy Smith is out, as well as Jeff Kenna, Micheal Johnson and the boy Konjic. But Derby can put a performance in when they want to?.they just happen to be inconsistent at the moment. It must frustrate George Burley no end. They have beaten Ipswich and Reading so far this season?.so they are more than capable?..it's trying to guess which hat they have on, that's the problem. The TV cameras might just swing it, and they won't be overawed by the prospect of Burnley. They are a decent price as well?..if they are on song.Stan James will be In-Running from the kick off at 7.45 tonight, up until the 80th minute and they'll be a host of revised markets at half time. It'll be good to see Turf Moor on the telly as well. Great old ground?and two great old clubs. Let's hope it's an entertaining game. Oh? and that high scoring draw?.well 2-2 is 14's and 3-3 is 50's.
