Well, folks. It’s Bertie vs. Bees.
Whom:
Burnley vs. Brentford
What:
EPL match number ten
Where:
Turf Moor
When:
10:00 AM EDT
How to Watch:
Peacock Premium (*eye roll*)
What’s at Stake:
Burnley enters 42% likely to get relegated, per FiveThirtyEight, which is a number we’d like to see shrink as soon as possible. The Clarets are still looking for their first win of the season.
The Odds:
Burnley’s at +160 to win, Brentford’s at +175, a draw’s at +220. In English, that means our lads are something like 36% likely to win, 34% likely to lose, and 30% likely to tie.
Burnley Squad:
Wayne Hennessey’s out, as is Dale Stephens still, but all of the mainstays should be available.
Other Burnley News:
Today’s the day they all wear the poppy in honor of the armed forces. Also, new video board. Get hyped.
Burnley FC Women:
Host West Brom on Sunday.
Partner Clubs:
Ayr United (Scotland, second tier) visits Raith Rovers today.
Portadown (Northern Ireland, first tier) goes to Coleraine.
Cobh Ramblers (Ireland, second tier) beat Athlone Town in their season finale to finish eighth in the ten-team table.
Llandudno (Wales, second tier) beat Prestatyn 3-0 yesterday. They’re second in their table now in points, but third in points per match.
Bertie News:
Our favorite bee was in Los Angeles last week! Explains why we haven’t seen him for a while. That’s a long flight with those wings. Hopefully he’s back in time to fight Brentford, which is the bees, plural. Gonna need him to give the lads some tips.
