EFL Championship
Our Three Predictions for Burnley vs Norwich City
- First Prediction: Burnley to win – 53/100
- Second Prediction: Under 2.5 goals to be scored – 18/25
- Third Prediction: Zian Flemming to score at any time – 17/10
First Prediction for Burnley vs Norwich City – Burnley to win – 53/100
With the three-horse race at the top of the Championship being so tight, Burnley desperately need to win this fixture to get ahead of Leeds United and Sheffield United in the promotion race. The Clarets are level on points with first-placed Leeds, and two points away from third-placed Blades. Scott Parker’s side have not lost a second-tier match since early November of last year, but need to turn the draws into wins as the season draws to a close. Their opponents, Norwich City, have only won one game out of their last five matches, and despite looking like a genuine play-off contender last month, now sit seven points off sixth-placed Middlesbrough with just five games to go. Burnley need to win this game to continue their late automatic promotion charge.
Second Prediction for Burnley vs Norwich City – Under 2.5 goals to be scored – 18/25
One of the reasons why Burnley are sat where they are this season is because of their impressive defensive record. In 41 games, they have only conceded 12 goals, which is by far the lowest in the whole of the EFL, let alone the Championship. The hosts have kept a commendable 29 clean sheets, and although Norwich have the second-highest scoring record in the Championship, this game is likely to be low-scoring, with Burnley’s defensive record being so good.
Third Prediction for Burnley vs Norwich City – Zian Flemming to score at any time – 17/10
One player who has stood out for the Clarets this season is Millwall loanee Zian Flemming. Although he isn’t the side’s top scorer, he is only four goals behind Josh Brownhill, and three in front of third-placed Jaidon Anthony. In all competitions, he has scored 11 goals and contributed a further three assists, a combined 12 of which have come in the league. In his last five games, he’s scored two crucial league goals, which have helped Burnley pick up extra points as they hunt for promotion. There is no doubt that the flying Dutchman won’t want to further add to his tally to help his side in their vital clash on Friday night.

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head
As mentioned above, the hosts come into this game in better form than their opponents and are unbeaten in the Championship since early November. In their last five, Parker’s side have won three and drawn two. Norwich, on the other hand, have only won one of their last five, losing three and drawing once.
It’s no secret that three points would mean more to Burnley, who currently sit second, but level on points with first-placed Leeds. With this match being played on Friday night, a win for Burnley would put pressure on both Leeds and Sheffield United with the three-horse promotion race being so tight.
Since 2010, these sides have met 11 times in three competitions, including both the Premier League and Championship. Burnley have won six of these 11 matchups, whilst the away side have only won three. The other two games have ended level at full time. Burnley took all three points away at Carrow Road earlier this season in a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Zian Flemming and Josh Brownhill.
