Burnley vs Norwich Tips

Burnley host Norwich on Saturday afternoon at Turf Moor in this all-Premier League clash in the Fa Cup 4th round. Read the Burnley v Norwich match preview and predictions below.

Burnley come into this game after an impressive an uplifting 2-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening which will surely give Sean Dyche’s side a massive boost on Saturday. That win pushed his team up to 13th in the Premier League and 7 points above the relegation zone. They are also only 4 points off a Europa League spot which shows how tight the league is this season. Their victory on Tuesday was their second win in a row after another unlikely triumph against 3rd placed Leicester at the weekend.

Norwich, on the other hand, sit firmly at the bottom of the Premier League having collected just 17 points from a possible 72. Things are looking grim for Daniel Farke’s side who are favourites to be relegated. Their last game resulted in a 2-1 defeat away to Tottenham and although they showed a bit more class than in previous games, it wasn’t enough to add any points to their tally. If Norwich are to take anything away from this season, whether it be a promising cup run or remaining in the Premier League, they will have to find an improvement in form from somewhere.

Burnley v Norwich Prediction

If it wasn’t for Burnley’s back-to-back wins against Leicester and Manchester United, we would have predicted a much closer game. However, those results can’t be ignored and given Norwich’s inability to find a run of form, we’re expecting Burnley to progress to the 5th round on Saturday afternoon. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Norwich’s last 10 games and in 5 of Burnley’s and that, coupled with Norwich only failing to score in 2 of their last 14, we’re backing both teams to score.
