Burnley v Norwich Prediction & Tips

Friday | 19:00 UTC | Turf Moor | Championship
Burnley welcome Norwich to Turf Moor on Friday night looking to bounce straight back to the top of the Championship table, and all signs point to another shutout win for the home side.
Burnley’s Unbeaten Run Still Intact
Tuesday’s 0-0 draw at Derby ended Burnley’s brief stay at the summit, but they remain unbeaten in 28 league matches and are one of the hardest sides to break down in English football. Scott Parker’s side have conceded just 1 goal in their last 9 home games and boast the best defensive record in the league with just 12 goals conceded across 41 matches. They’re not blowing teams away, but they’re grinding out wins, with 8 clean sheets in their last 9 at Turf Moor.
Norwich’s Season Fading Fast
Norwich are heading toward mid-table mediocrity. David Wagner’s side are 7 points off the play-off spots with just 5 games to go, and their recent form doesn’t suggest a late surge is coming. They’ve won just once in their last 7 in all competitions and have lost 4 of their last 7 away games. They’ve conceded exactly 2 goals in each of their last 2 on the road, and Turf Moor isn’t the place you go to stop a slide.
How the Bookies See It
Burnley are strong favourites to win, priced at 1.55, while a win to nil is available at 2.30. Norwich are out at 6.00 to take the 3 points and the draw is 3.95. A 2-0 Burnley win is 6.50, which fits both sides’ current trends.
Head-to-Head: Turf Moor Dominance
Burnley have beaten Norwich in 2 of the last 3 head-to-heads at Turf Moor and are unbeaten in the last five meetings in all competitions. Given their current home form, another controlled win looks likely.
Players to Watch
With Lyle Foster sidelined through injury, Burnley will look to Jaidon Anthony, who’s stepped up with 3 goals in his last 4 appearances. He’s 3.80 to score anytime. For Norwich, Josh Sargent is usually the main threat, but chances could be few and far between against this Burnley defence.
Predicted Lineups
Burnley: Muric; Vitinho, Al-Dakhil, O’Shea, Roberts; Cullen, Brownhill; Benson, Ramsey, Anthony; Rodriguez
Norwich: Gunn; Stacey, Duffy, Hanley, Giannoulis; McLean, Nunez; Rowe, Sara, Hernandez; Sargent
