Burnley vs Norwich City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Championship 2024-25

Lancashire gears up to host the Norfolk-based outfit.

The EFL Championship 2024-25 Matchday 42 fixtures take us to Turf Moor, where Burnley are set to host Norwich City.

Burnley FC are currently positioned second in the Championship points table, despite being level on points with table-toppers Leeds United. They had a golden opportunity to take a decisive lead but were held to a goalless draw against Derby County in their most recent encounter.

Burnley will be looking to clinch a victory against Norwich City FC in the next match and will also aim to improve their goal difference. It could play a crucial role in determining who secures a direct promotion to the top division of English football, given how tight the points table currently is.

Norwich City are currently positioned 11th in the Championship points table. They will be eager to secure a win, as three points could push them into the top 10. In their last five matches, they have managed just one victory and are coming off a draw against Sunderland AFC.

While their attack has lacked consistency, their defensive discipline has stood out with multiple clean sheets in their recent outings. As they travel to face Burnley, Norwich will be keen to capitalise on any opportunity and come away with a crucial victory.
