⁠Burnley vs Plymouth Argyle Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Clarets have made a good start under their new boss Scott Parker.

Burnley have started the new season in fantastic form gathering 14th points from the opening seven matches. They surely are aiming to fight for the Premier League places by the end of the season. The Clarets have displayed some wonderful performances in the last few matches under their new manager Scott Parker.

Parker has managed to bring out the best of his squad. Burnley are currently languishing in the fourth spot in the standings and are two points shy of table toppers West Brom. 

Meanwhile, Plymouth Argyle have been making some good progress in recent matches. They are starting to cook under the leadership of Wayne Rooney who is starting to figure out his best eleven. Pilgrims are currently occupying the 15th position in the championship standings.

They have gathered just eight points from the first seven matches. Wayne Rooney’s side secured a much-needed victory in the last game against Luton putting on an impressive display.
