Burnley vs Wigan Predictions

• Only Coventry (17) have recorded more clean sheets than Burnley (15) in the Championship this season
• The Clarets have won 22 of their 35 league games this term
• Wigan are averaging less than a goal per game in the Championship this season, scoring only 31 times in 35 matches

Red-hot Clarets can assert their superiority

Top meets bottom in the Championship on Saturday as Burnley and Wigan clash at Turf Moor and the hosts can justify favouritism with a comfortable shutout success.

It looks like a foregone conclusion that the Clarets will be playing Premier League football next season and Vincent Kompany will likely have one eye on his side’s upcoming FA Cup quarter-final with his former club Manchester City.

But that does not mean Burnley will be vulnerable in this one – they have lost only twice in the Championship this season and are up against a Wigan side who have failed to win 28 of their 35 league games.

These sides look likely to be playing two divisions apart next season and the gulf in class should show so a bet on a Burnley win to nil looks the way to go.

Even though Burnley were held by Blackpool last time out, their rearguard recorded their fourth clean sheet in five games, and we predict a 2-0 win this time around.
