Enjoying a fantastic group stage campaign, Dambulla Viiking pulled in their weight to secure a second-place spot on the log. Had they managed to defeat Colombo Kings in their final qualifying game, DV would have toppled the pack. However, losing out to CK in that crucial game, the Sons of Thor missed out on a chance to finish atop the standings. Now, to book a ticket to the finals, Dambulla Viiking have the herculean task of dispatching Jaffna Stallions in the last-four. Skipper Dasun Shanaka has been one of the bright sparks in this team, and will definitely play a huge role in this upcoming contest. Also, DV will be counting on Niroshan Dickwella, who has been very consistent so far, to come up with the goods.
Burnley are playing their fifth straight season in the Premier League, but the team faced notable problems in this campaign. The lack of an effective attack prevents the “burgundy” from gaining points stably. Five goals scored in ten games is the worst in the league. Sean Deich’s wards managed to move a little away from the last line in the standings after the victory over Crystal Palace (1:0), after which another inexpressive match followed with Manchester City (0:5). In the last round of the championship Burnley shared points at home with Everton (1:1). More match predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
