Burnley - Norwich prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 11, 2025
One of the fights of the 42nd round of the Championships will be played on Friday at the Turf Moor Arena, where local Burnley will host Norwich. I offer a bet on the outcome in this confrontation with good odds.
Match preview
Burnley continues to confidently bend its line in the fight for a return to the Premier League. In the last round Scott Parker's wards painted a dry world with Derby County away - 0:0. This draw allowed the team to extend their impressive winless streak in the Championship to 28 matches - truly championship stability.
In the standings “Burnley” continues to breathe in the back of “Leeds”, inferior only on additional indicators. But the gap from the pursuing “Sheffield United” is minimal - just two points. So the team has almost no margin for error. Especially confident “Burnley” acts at home stadium - five wins in the last six matches with only one goal conceded speak for themselves.
But at Norwich, everything is much more prosaic. “Canaries” long ago lost chances for the playoffs - seven-point gap from sixth place for a few rounds is no longer eliminate. The team has no tournament motivation, which is confirmed by the game: in the last seven matches only one win, and last round again a draw - 0:0 with Sunderland.
On the road, Norwich are not doing well at all. The team has lost the last two away games, and in general during the season has scored only four wins in 20 away meetings. A visit to the field of one of the leaders of the championship in such conditions promises to be a difficult test for the guests.
Probable line-ups
- Burnley: Trafford, Roberts, Egan Riley, Esteve, Humphries, Cullen, Brownhill, Anthony, Sarmiento, Laurent, Flemming
- Norwich: Gunn, Fisher, Duffy, Doyle, Mahowo, Nunez, McLean, Marcondez, Krnak, Sainz, Sargent
