Norwich City vs Burnley prediction 15.12.2024 | Championship

• Competition: EFL Championship
• Date: 15^th December, Sunday
• Kick-off: 16:00 CET
• Venue: Carrow Road

Burnley will be looking to sneak into one of the automatic promotion places with a win over Norwich at Carrow Road on Sunday afternoon.

The Clarets currently sit third in the table with 38 points after 20 games and are just one point behind second-placed Sheffield United, who have played one game less. Burnley go into the game on the back of a goalless draw against Derby, their second successive winless performance in the Championship. However, Scott Parker’s side are unbeaten in seven games, including four wins and three draws, making them one of the most in-form teams in the league.

The home side go into this game on Sunday after the 0-0 draw against Portsmouth on Tuesday night, which was their second game in a row without scoring. Norwich’s goal scoring record at this stage of the season is somewhat puzzling, as they managed to score a combined 10 goals against Plymouth and Luton at the end of November before suffering a goal drought in their last two games. They are currently five points adrift of the play-off places and a win on Sunday would do the side a world of good to keep a reasonable gap between themselves and the top six coming into the Christmas period.

Norwich – Burnley Betting Tips: Burnley to Win or Draw and Under 2.5 Goals

Burnley are unbeaten in seven consecutive games (4 wins, 3 defeats) and have the best defensive record in the league, conceding just seven goals in 20 games (an average of 0.35 goals per game). They are also the most successful away team this season – they have picked up 18 points in 10 games, losing only twice and conceding just four goals in the process.

Their solid defensive performance leads to few goals, as the goal statistics show. There have been less than 2.5 goals in Burnley’s last 14 Championship matches, and they have also kept six clean sheets in their last seven games.
