Michaelson’s picks

Things have not been looking good for Sean Dyche and his Burnley side in their recent games, both in the English Premier League and in the Europa League qualifiers.

The side from Lancashire have been on the end of three defeats on the trot in all competition, but what looks more of a concern is the fact that The Clarets have conceded a total of 10 goals in that time.

Burnley have a huge task on their hands tonight as they welcome Greece side Olympiakos Piraeus to at Turf Moor in their bid to overturn a 3-1 deficit from the first-leg.

The English side will need to beat Olympiakos by at least two clear goals, if they are to stand a chance to book a spot in next season’s Europa League group stages. If recent history is anything to go by, Burnley will have to dig deep to win tonight’s match, as the last time they managed a win by two clear goals dates back to November last year, when they beat Swansea 2-0.
