It’s East Lancashire dominance in the Championship so far, we go into the final weekend before the World Cup break with Burnley sitting at the top of the pile, and Blackburn in second place behind them.
Not only do we have local bragging rights at stake, but also vital promotion points, at this stage in the season, the stakes really couldn’t be much higher.
Prior to the game, we’ve asked Spreadex for special odds on Burnley and Blackburn to finish in the top two this season, meaning automatic promotion for both, and they’ve come back with odds of 16/1, which will certainly catch the eye for some, even if it does mean betting on your rivals to be promoted too!
