Burnley vs Cardiff City Prediction: Burnley are going as favourites despite Cardiff's impressive away run

Burnley is set to host Cardiff City on Monday at Turf Moor. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

After Burnley suffered a surprising loss to Queens Park Rangers and lost their unbeaten home record, Vincent Kompany, the team's manager, was likely unhappy. However, the loss seemed to refocus the team for their upcoming fixtures. They secured the Championship title with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, followed by another away win against Bristol City by a score of 2-1. These wins were critical for Burnley to maintain their hopes of achieving 101 points for the season, which is still within reach as they prepare for their final match. Although they have had some impressive performances at Turf Moor this season, they have only managed to win three of their last six home games, and have only kept one clean sheet in their last four matches. As a result, Kompany is calling for one final display from his team before they make their return to the Premier League.

Burnley Predicted Lineup

Peacock-Farrell; Roberts, Harwood-Bellis, Taylor, Maatsen; Brownhill, Cullen; Manuel, Gudmundsson, Zaroury; Rodriguez

Cardiff City Form

Cardiff City can breathe a sigh of relief after securing their position in the Championship for another season with a narrow win over Rotherham United. However, their next game against Huddersfield Town resulted in a loss, which helped Huddersfield's own survival chances. Sabri Lamouchi, the team's manager, can be content with the job he has done so far, even though the team has suffered nine defeats in his 17 matches in charge. Regardless of the outcome of Monday's match, discussions will be held over the summer to determine the future direction of the team. It is worth noting that Cardiff City has won their last two away games, against Watford and Rotherham.

Cardiff City's possible lineup

Alnwick; Romeo, McGuinness, Simpson, Ng; Sawyers, Rinomhota, Wintle; Ojo, Davies, Philogene
