Wrexham v Burnley Prediction: 5/2 Racecourse stalemate on the cards

Wrexham picked up four points on the road in trips to Millwall and Swansea last week and will be hopeful of further gains as bottom of the table Burnley visit the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday.

The Clarets are winless after five games and boss Nicky Hayen lamented their inability to "win ugly" after they let slip a lead in a late turnaround against Bristol City on Saturday at Turf Moor.

Wrexham were in Welsh derby action on Saturday night at Swansea City. It was a game that promised much but delivered little as it ended without a goal.

Wrexham v Burnley

Wrexham v Burnley Prediction

Best Bet: Draw @ 5/2

Between them these sides have fashioned just a single Championship win in 10 attempts so far this season and that came last midweek as Wrexham took advantage of a Millwall side beset by injuries at The Den to win 3-0.

That very much went against the grain as Phil Parkinson's side had previously scored just four goals in four league and cup games this season.

They have drawn three of five in the league and could be set for another night of frustration here.

Burnley fans vented their fury on owner and chairman Alan Pace after seeing Bristol City stage a late comeback to win 2-1 on Saturday as Rob Dickie and Yu Hirakawa avenged Aaron Ramsey's opener.

Hayen's side have scored in every one of their five Championship games but have conceded 12 times.

They came from behind to gain a point against Middlesbrough before the Bristol City setback and will feel they were at least worth a point against the Robins after conceding in the 91st minute.

Wrexham have won just one of five home Championship games since mid-March and may be settling for another stalemate here.

Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 Goals @ 11/10

This could be attritional stuff. Wrexham fans got plenty of that in Swansea on Saturday as a crackling pre-game atmosphere gave way to an underwhelming 90 minutes.

Parkinson's side are the joint-lowest scorers amongst the Championship's top 11 teams but only Swansea have conceded fewer goals so far.

Hayen lamented Burnley's inability to win ugly at the weekend and that criticism will be ringing in their ears now as they look to keep things tight in Wales. It could be a game of few goals.

Wrexham v Burnley Bet Builder Tip

  • Under 4 Goals

  • Most Goals in 2nd Half

  • Reo Hatate to Score or Assist


    Pays
    10/1

The theme of goals continues in this bet builder. All five of Wrexham's league games have come in under 3.5 goals, as have three of Burnley's last four outings in league and cup.

Burnley need to make themselves solid and all three goals in their weekend game against Bristol City arrived in the second half.

Two of Wrexham's three at Millwall last midweek came after half-time and the second half had produced most goals in three of the Red Dragons' five games before the goalless draw at Swansea.

If Burnley are to breach the home defence, Reo Hatate could be key. The Japanese joined from Celtic last week and got 63 minutes under his belt against Bristol City, providing the assist for Ramsey's goal before the hour mark.

In his first three-and-a-half-seasons in Scotland, Hatate scored 23 league goals and provided 18 assists. He has an eye for a pass and can shoot from range or find space in the box. If his move to Burnley has reignited some fire in his belly, he can help the Clarets turn this season around.
