Prediction

  • Bristol City produced a strong away performance at Carrow Road two weeks ago with goals from Anis Mehmeti and Nahki Wells sealing a 2-0 win on the road.
  • The Robins are showing strong form despite overwhelming injury issues, losing just one of their last 10 Championship matches ahead of the visit of Burnley.
  • Jay Rodriguez's stoppage-time penalty was a critical moment of relief for Scott Parker as a 1-0 win against Swansea ended a four-match winless streak.
  • Burnley games this season have all been low-margin affairs with the Clarets conceding just six goals in 15 matches, but attacking play has left a lot to be desired.
