The Clarets , Burnley FC, will look to continue their positive start to the Championship season in their upcoming match against Wayne Rooney's Pilgrims , Plymouth Argyle. Will our prediction back the home side to continue their good start, or can the visiting Devonian side land what would be a surprise victory at Turf Moor?
Burnley stretched their unbeaten run in the Championship to four games at the weekend, albeit with a 0-0 draw away to Oxford United. That point came after Burnley had beaten Portsmouth 2-1 last weekend and they also earned an excellent 1-0 away win at Leeds the week before. Those results see them lie fourth in the table.
Only two teams have scored more than Burnley's 13 league goals this season, while they have only conceded four goals across those seven games. Scott Parker has given fresh impetus to this team which makes them strong favourites for this game against Plymouth's Green Army.
Plymouth come into this game in better shape than they were a few weeks back. Two wins in their last three, both at home, have catapulted the Pilgrims up to 15th in the table, albeit having played one game more than most of the other teams in the division.
Wayne Rooney's team warmed up for this game by earning a 3-1 win over Luton Town at the weekend. It was their second home win in a row. However, their away form is poor with just one point collected from nine on their travels in the Championship so far this season.

Our Burnley vs Plymouth Prediction
Our prediction for Burnley vs. Plymouth Argyle in the Championship is: Burnley to win to nil.
Burnley have gone four games unbeaten since losing away to Sunderland, conceding just two goals in those games. Plymouth's home form is improving but Wayne Rooney's team still struggles to score a goal on the road, let alone win. With five wins in the last eight games in this fixture, Burnley should be well-placed to ensure that they pick up another win here and likely keep a clean sheet in the process too.
