Burnley vs Coventry Predictions

• Burnley have won with both teams scoring in three of their last five home Championship fixtures
• Coventry have scored in four of their last five away league games
• The Sky Blues have scored in all five away games against current top-8 sides.

Clarets to continue winning sequence

Burnley should continue to set the Championship pace with a win over an out-of-form Coventry team still smarting from their FA Cup exit to non-league Wrexham.

Seven days on from their 4-3 home humbling to the promotion-chasing National League club, Mark Robins takes his Sky Blues to Turf Moor – where Burnley have won eight on the bounce.

It looks like a big ask for Coventry to halt a four-game winless run in Lancashire, but they could grab a goal in an entertaining game.
City have scored in all five away games against current top-8 teams, including a Sheffield United side in possession of the best defensive record in the division, and they showed plenty of potency in hitting three against Wrexham.

Key defender injury boosts Sky Blues’ goal prospects

Furthermore, Clarets boss Vincent Kompany is sweating over the fitness of defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who was substituted in the first half of their cup win over Bournemouth and later seen wearing a protective boot.

The Manchester City loanee has been an ever-present in the league this term and his loss would be a blow. Backing Burnley to win with both teams on the scoresheet therefore looks quite appealing this weekend with the Clarets in such good form.

Kompany’s side have scored exactly three goals in their last four league games at Tuf Moor, where their opponents are averaging just under one goal per game – hence the 3-1 score prediction.
