Norwich vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 15/07/2020, 22:19  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Norwich City will play their final home match of the season when they host Burnley in the 37th round of Premier League matches this Saturday. Going to the game, Norwich are stuck at the bottom of the standings with 21 points while Burnley are 10th on 51 points. It has been a very poor campaign for Norwich in the top flight; they have failed to live with the pace in the Premier League after a fine run in the Championship last season. The club will return to the second tier, having won less than 10 matches of the 38 in the top league. They have suffered straight losses in their eight matches after lockdown – seven in the league and one in the FA Cup. The team has had the poorest run in the league; scoring the least goals, winning the least matches, and conceding the most and go to this game straight from a 1-0 loss to Chelsea. Each of Norwich’s last eight league matches has ended in defeat and they have scored in just one of the eight – the 2-1 loss to Watford on July 7th. From their 18 home matches so far, the team has collected just 15 points, making them the worst performing home team in the season and head to this clash on four straight home losses. In five of their last six home league matches, the team has not scored.

Burnley on the other hand, held on to their slim hopes of qualifying for the Europa League with a late goal in their last game to see it end 1-1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers. The result meant they are unbeaten in their last six matches but it came at a cost for their depleted squad after Jay Rodriguez’s injury. In their last four matches, Burnley have faced three top six sides and drew with them all, so this will be a good break, facing an already relegated side. They will hope to flex more in attack, having failed to score more than a goal in their last nine matches. In the last 14 matches, Burnley have lost just once – against Manchester City – and they have won seven of those. Away from home, Burley have six wins in 18 matches, giving them a 33% win rate on the road and making them the eighth best performing away side, having collected 23 points. They have two wins and a draw in their last three away matches and have three clean sheets in the last five away games, though they have not scored more than one goal in the last five away games.
