Norwich City vs Burnley Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Scott Parker eyes a big win for the Clarets at Carrow Road.

The EFL Championship 2024-25 fixtures take us to the Carrow Road where Norwich City are set to host Burnley FC.

Norwich City currently find themselves in 10th place in the EFL Championship points table, having secured six wins from their 20 matches this season. Their recent form has been inconsistent, reflecting a blend of triumphs and setbacks. Out of their last five matches, the Canaries have emerged victorious twice, while their most recent outing against Portsmouth concluded in a goalless draw, highlighting their struggles to convert opportunities.

Heading into their next clash against Burnley, Norwich City will be eager to capitalize on their home advantage and secure a much-needed win to climb the standings. A focused and cohesive performance will be crucial for the Canaries to turn their fortunes around and reassert their presence in the race for promotion.

Burnley FC currently occupy 3rd place in a fiercely competitive EFL Championship points table. They are tantalizingly close to the summit, needing just a win to equalize with table-toppers Sheffield United. However, their recent form has been slightly underwhelming, as consecutive draws in their last two matches have cost them four crucial points, hindering their momentum in this season’s tight race.

As they prepare to face Norwich City FC in the upcoming fixture, Burnley will be determined to return to winning ways and solidify their position among the league’s top contenders. A strong performance against Norwich could reignite their pursuit of the coveted top spot and reinforce their bid for automatic promotion.
