After delivering a clean sweep of winners on Tuesday night, SlipsTips is back with a Bet Builder for Watford's clash with Burnley in the English Championship on Friday night.

Watford vs Burnley (Friday, 20:00)

Watforfd and Burnley face off at Vicarage Road on Friday night looking to build on their positive starts to the season.

The Hornets came out on top in their season opener against fellow promotion hopefuls Sheffield United before earning a 1-1 draw at West Bromwich Albion, while Burnley got the better of Huddersfield and were then subsequently held to a 1-1 draw at home to Luton.

With the match result best avoided here, I’m instead going to dip into Sky Bet's corner market whereby I'm happy to follow a familiar theme.

Combining each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive 10+ booking points will bring about an appetising 5/6 (SkyBet)  play.

There has certainly been a distinct change of approach at Burnley, with Kompany's style of play far more possession-based, and that can perhaps be attributed to the fact that the Clarets have clocked up 16 corners across their opening two league games.

As for Watford, their new boss Rob Edwards’ system focuses on his wing-backs providing width, so three corners apiece doesn't look like too much to ask of the pair.

With a closely-fought contest between two teams targeting promotion anticipated, I'll complete the Bet Builder by backing each side to receive a minimum of 10+ booking points.

These two tightly matched teams have already received five and four cards respectively across the opening two weeks of the season, so each side to receive 10+ Booking Points should go close in what should be a keenly-contested televised tussle.

While referee Thomas Bramall averaged just 36.33 Booking Points per-game last season, he has awarded a card to both sides in seven of his last eight EFL assignments. 

With all this in mind, coupled with the fact that the same combination clicked in Watford’s curtain-raiser with Sheffield United, siding with the same selection on Friday nights stands out at 5/6 (SkyBet).
