Today's Betting Tips for Stoke vs Burnley

Stoke are unbeaten in three games as they prepare to test themselves against leaders and Championship title favourites Burnley on Friday. Read our top predictions for this week’s fixture below.

Burnley to Win

Burnley pulled three points clear at the summit of the Championship thanks to a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Birmingham on Tuesday evening and the purring Clarets have now won 100% of their assignments since the restart, scoring an impressive nine times along the way. Vincent Kompany’s impressive outfit look a cut above the rest in the second tier at present and they are playing with enough confidence and guile to pick up maximum points again when they visit Stoke on Friday.

Over 2.5 Goals

Stoke have yet to taste defeat since the campaign’s resumption and each of their three fixtures since the restart have featured at least three goals. Likewise, Burnley’s matches during the same period have been action-packed with over 2.5 goals landing in each of the Clarets’ three Championship tests and another exciting contest could be in the works when the sides clash at the bet365 Stadium. Stoke should have enough self-belief to attack Burnley on Friday and an open game could develop as a consequence. With that in mind, we recommend another stake on over 2.5 goals in this one.

Predicted Lineup for Stoke: Bonham – Souttar, Jagielka, Fox – Brown, Baker, Thompson, Smallbone, Tymon – Delap, Campbell

Burnley

Burnley have a clean bill of health at present and manager Vincent Kompany has options to choose from all over the pitch ahead of Friday's fixture. Burnley impressed in their 3-0 win over Birmingham on Tuesday and Kompany could choose to stick with the same XI for Friday's game.

Predicted Lineup for Burnley: Muric – Roberts, Harwood-Bells, Beyer, Maatsen – Cork, Cullen, Manuel, Brownhill, Zaroury – Rodriguez

Player to Watch – Jordan Beyer

German centre-half is enjoying an extended run in the Burnley team and the 22-year-old is starting to turn heads with some silky performances and the back. Alongside being a combative presence, Beyer’s ability to slip passes through the lines into midfield allows Burnley to build their moves from the back and defender – who is on loan from Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach – is one to watch out for Series Soccer Tips on Friday.
