Lancashire Hotpot - Clarets 15/4 to get that winning taste

19 March 2010 17:50
Well, it's getting nervy and the games are running out. The Wolves result was a sickener as Burnley have now been cut adrift in the relegation places and have played a game more than most. But have no fear, there’s always Wigan, who sit in 15th having played the same number of games and are up next for The Clarets. Though Martinez has tried to get them playing football, they’ve flattered to deceive and on a bad day at the office they’ve taken some absolute pastings, none more so than the 9-1 capitulation at Spurs. So, when the chips are down, Wigan look ready to crumble – but only if Burnley can show the fight and determination to take the game to them. So, time for Mr Laws to earn his money and motivate this team to give the long-suffering away fans something to cheer about. The dreadful away record of Played 15 Drawn 1, Lost 14 is unacceptable but it does shape up the betting quite nicely – Burnley are a massive 15/4 to win the game at the DW. The stats indicate otherwise but is this the time we stand and up be counted? Match OddsWigan win         4/5Draw                 12/5Burnley win       15/4 Bet with Paddy Power and they’ll give you a £20 FREE bet when you stake your first tenner.

If it is stalemate it is unlikely to be a goalless one – the two clubs between them have shipped an amazing 122 goals this season so you wouldn’t be banking on clean sheets both ends. Derby matches are always full of desire, blood and thunder – throw in a late winner for Burnley 1-0 and we’ll go home happy. If you put a tenner on that, you’ll get odds of 10/1 and a three figure return on your money to celebrate Saturday night! Correct Score oddsDraw 0-0                       15/2Draw 1-1                       11/2Draw 2-2                       12/1Burnley 1-0                    10/1Burnley 2-0                    25/1Burnley 2-1                    13/1 Click here to bet and get your FREE £20 bet Steven Caldwell may recover from his groin injury to line up against his brother Gary for the first time – sibling rivalry to add to the Derby spice. What a story if he could pop up with the first goal – he’s a massive 50/1 to do so – but it’s relegation bloodbath and anything can happen. In-form David Nugent leading the line might be a more obvious candidate – he’s 8/1 to break the deadlock 1st Scorer bettingNugent              8/1Paterson           9/1Fletcher            9/1Thompson        10/1Alexander         18/1Eagles              18/1Carlisle             40/1Caldwell            50/1 £20 FREE bet awaits.
