On Tuesday night, Burnley and Hull go head-to-head at Turf Moor as the visitors look to continue their stellar start to the new Championship campaign.
The Clarets have made a mixed start to life back in the Championship after suffering relegation from the Premier League last season. Vincent Kompany’s team kicked off the campaign with a 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town.

However, since the win, the team from Lancashire have drawn 1-1 with Luton Town before a 1-0 defeat at Watford. The defeat at Vicarage Road means that all of the Clarets league games this season have produced under 2.5 goals.
Burnley finished last season with an inconsistent run of form on home soil, winning three and losing five of their final eight league matches at Turf Moor.
Conceding goals at Turf Moor was a major reason for their mixed home results, as they conceded at least two goals in six of their final eight matches of last season in the top flight.
The Tigers have made a promising start to the new Championship campaign, picking up seven points from a possible nine in the new league season.
They opened the new league campaign with a 2-1 home win over Bristol City before a goalless draw against Preston and a 2-1 home win over Norwich City last time out.
Their most recent games in the second tier have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight matches in the Championship.
Hull have a poor recent away record in the Championship, as the Tigers have won just three of their previous nine away matches in the second tier. The run includes a three-game winless run away from home in the Championship.
Forebet predicts that Burnley will end Hull’s solid start to the campaign by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
