The Burnley U18 manager A. Philliskirk attacks this game with the team placed 9th so far. In the visitors dressing room Blackburn U18 and their manager M. Cheron are in 12th place before this match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Burnley U18 form and stats
Burnley U18 are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Premier League U18 games here at The County Ground. Burnley has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager A. Philliskirk and the players. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Burnley U18, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Everton U18) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3. Heartbreak for Burnley in their last match as Everton U18's T. Small scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
At The County Ground, Burnley U18 has the goal stats of 3-5 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Blackburn U18 form and stats
No Premier League U18 points yet away for Blackburn U18, from their first 2 matches. It's looking increasingly bleak for Blackburn U18 who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Everton U18 was the last time a defeat was avoided. Blackburn seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
2 goals so far away for Blackburn U18, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
