Burnley will have another chance to push their automatic promotion agenda when they host Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship on Friday. Heading into this game the Clarets are third in the standings, six places ahead of their visitors. Read on for our preview and prediction of this match.
All season, Burnley have shown great solidity in defence but at the same time failing to score a lot. It is for that reason that they find themselves five points adrift of the top two.
They have lost the least matches and possess the best defence. Burnley are coming from another disappointing result; a 0-0 outcome against Preston – their 14th draw of the season.
Sheffield Wednesday are well in the thick of the chase for a top six place. Though disadvantaged by goal difference, they stand among the contenders for the post season playoffs.
Going into this game, they are just three points below the top six. They suffered a 2-1 loss at home to Coventry City ahead of this game. That was their second defeat in three matches.
With their last two wins having come away from home, the Owls will be gunning for a shock result here. In the last meeting between these two, Burnley won 2-0 and Sheffield Wednesday will hope to prevail on the road.
