Norwich vs Burnley Predictions

• All four of Norwich’s matches this season have gone over 2.5 goals
• Both teams have scored in three of Burnley’s four matches this season
• The last three meetings have all featured three goals, with Burnley winning the last two meetings 2-1

Expect entertainment at Carrow Road

Norwich and Burnley are two teams that were expected to challenge for promotion in the Championship this season, but both are taking time to get going.

The Canaries finished last season like a train, winning 16 of their final 26 league games to suggest better was in store, but they have been beaten by West Brom and Millwall in their opening two games.

A 2-1 win at Cardiff in the EFL Cup on Tuesday would have given them a lift and they will be keen to get the show back on the road at home to Burnley.

Relegated from the Premier League last season, the Clarets have been held to a 2-2 by West Ham and have been beaten 3-1 away at West Brom in their first two assignments.

Burnley have since been knocked out of the EFL Cup by League One outfit Bradford on penalties – the Clarets needed a shootout of their own against Notts County in the previous round – so they arrive at Carrow Road with plenty to prove.

So goals may be the way to go. There have been at least three goals in three of Norwich’s four outings and Burnley, although they have a lot of attacking quality for this level, have conceded five goals in two league outings.

When these two teams met in the Championship in the 2024-25 campaign, Burnley recorded 2-1 wins home and away and that may be the way to go in a game that should be thoroughly entertaining.
