West Ham v Burnley Betting
Burnley have the best record in Championship of bouncing back after going behind. They could do so again at 35/1.
The live FA Cup game on ESPN is a classic match up between a struggling Premier League side and a confident Championship team.
Eddie Howe is starting to turn things around for Burnley, with a good draw away to Cardiff coming on the back of two good wins. They can travel to Upton Park in buoyant mood.
The most impressive thing about Burnley is their mental toughness. Burnley rank top in the Championship for bounce-back-ability. The ability to win points after going behind in a game. So far this season they have gained 20 points from losing positions, including winning five games after going behind.
A curious quirk of the fixture system has meant that five of Burnley’s last six games have been away from home - of which they have only lost one. Used to playing away from home should mean they travel to East London with no fear.
The 3/1 on a Burnley win is tempting but having seen the likes of Leyton Orient and Crawley Town get after more vaunted rivals in the second half of games i’m going for more juicy odds. It is 35/1 for Burnley to bounce-back and win the game after being behind at half time.
