Shrewsbury vs Burnley – Betting Analysis
Under Vincent Kompany’s leadership, Burnley is playing a much more aggressive brand of football, but right now, dissatisfaction seems to be mounting for the Lancashire squad, who have lost their previous four domestic games.
At home against Blackpool on Saturday, the Clarets got off to a fast start, leading 2-0 after 11 minutes and 3-1 after 33 before losing their concentration in the second half.
Burnley has had more than 65% of the ball in every game this season, and on four occasions they have had 70% or more.
The team is having trouble executing Kompany’s instructions to play much more aggressively and put their opponents under pressure in the closing third.
