Burnley open their Championship campaign having won none of their five pre-season fixtures, conceding in every one of them and shipping 10 goals in total. West Ham arrive with a different profile: two wins, three draws, no defeats, two clean sheets, and a competitive League Cup victory over Portsmouth to sharpen the legs. The gap in readiness is visible in the prices.
The head-to-head record is blunt. Burnley have not beaten West Ham in four attempts, losing three and drawing one, conceding nine goals while keeping zero clean sheets. Over 2.5 goals landed in three of those four meetings. West Ham's only absence of note is Tomas Soucek.
Draw No Bet on West Ham at 1.65 (bet365) is the call. You are backing a side with a clean recent record against one that cannot keep the ball out of its own net. The price offers a cushion without surrendering too much value.
