Burnley vs Norwich City Match Analysis and Prediction

Burnley will be looking to extend their unbeaten record in the Championship to 14 matches when they play host to Norwich City at Turf Moor on Tuesday.

Although the visitors are without a win in their last five matches, just four points separate the two former Premier League clubs in the league table.

The fact that Burnley can go unbeaten in 13 matches in a league such as the Championship and not sit at the top of the table is somewhat bizarre, yet Vincent Kompany wil be more that content with their current standing.

Even though the Clarets had to come from two goals down to defeat Sunderland 4-2 at the weekend, they are by far the most consistent side in the division, something that will ultimately pay off if they continue on the same trajectory.

With three home matches falling in succession, Burnley have the chance to strengthen their spot in the top three, although Kompany has witnessed his side draw more games at Turf Moor than record maximum points.

Not long ago, there was a time when it appeared that Norwich could dominate this division, but they now look like a side devoid of belief to get another win on the board.

The Canaries were two goals ahead after just 16 minutes at Sheffield United on Saturday, only for the Blades to scored twice after the hour mark to salvage a draw.

Off the back of three successive defeats, it may be viewed as point gained in some quarters, but Dean Smith’s side look increasingly vulnerable when it comes to dropping out of the top six.

Still just five points below top spot, Smith will not be wary at this stage, yet there will be an acknowledgement that they can ill-afford to allow Burnley to generate any more momentum ahead of them.

Burnley news

Kompany is expected to make changes to his starting lineup, with Rodriguez and Benson Manuel both in line to earn recalls to the side.

Anass Zaroury’s impressivve effort against Sunderland on Sunday could see Nathan Tella miss out on Tuesday, with Ashley Barnes also being dropped from the attack.

Norwich City news

Norwich City continue to be without Kenny McLean as he serves the second of a three-game ban, while Danel Sinani could replace either Josh Sargent or Todd Cantwell in the final third.

Liam Gibbs may be considered for a recall in central midfield, while Dimitris Giannoulis will be assessed ahead of kick off.

Prediction and Odds

Regardless of the contrasting form between the two sides, this should still be a competitive game given the quality that remains in Norwich City’s squad.

However, we cannot back against Burnley at the moment, who will expect to continue their impressive run with another hard-fought win in front of their home supporters.
