Alan McInally Betting Column: Birmingham City must emulate Burnley form
IT WASN’T the best of weekends for our sides last time out.
Blues’ fingers were burnt by Bolton and they can’t afford many more St Andrew’s slip-ups.
Tomorrow’s opposition Burnley have been immense at Turf Moor, where they’ve shown the form Blues must look to emulate.
Three wins from three at home have offset their terrible run on the road and Big Eck’s boys will have to fight hard to be the first team to leave with anything.
The Clarets have made their home ground a fortress and will look to use this as a springboard to safety.
I remember it was never easy visiting newly-promoted sides – every game’s a cup final for the supporters and they make a right old racket.
They’ve already overturned Manchester United and Everton with 1-0 victories. I reckon it’ll be tight again with a stalemate probably Blues’ best hope.
I didn’t know whether to take Manchester City seriously at first, which is why I was keen for a closer look at them and happily took my chance on Monday night.
