Burnley v Doncaster Rovers Preview


by Paul Williams

It’s 24 years since we last won at Turf Moor and Burnley haven’t lost a league game at home for more than a year. We have only won once of the road all season, which just so happened to be against the Owls back in September, so it’s a foregone conclusion that we ain’t going to get much from our trip against the Pennines this week – or is it?

Championship form is notoriously fickle and you could argue that this is a bonus fixture for Rovers after three wins and 10 points from a possible 12 in our last four. Sean Dyche’s team looked organised and hard-working when winning at the Keepmoat in the autumn but still needed a penalty and a late own goal to take the spoils. Top scorer Danny Ings is injured and maybe the Clarets will just be a little distracted ahead of a potential title decider against Leicester next weekend. On current form, Rovers need to fear no-one and Turf Moor is as good a place as anywhere to upset the odds.
