Norwich City vs Burnley Prediction: Norwich is on downward trajectory as of now

Get ready for a nail-biting match as Norwich City takes on Burnley! The two teams will face off on February 4th, 2023 at the Carrow Road stadium in Norwich City. This match is a must-watch for fans of the Championship, as Norwich City and Burnley battle it out for supremacy. This season, these two teams have already faced each other once, but the rivalry is far from over. Currently, Norwich City sits comfortably at 7th place, while Burnley dominates at the top with 1st position. 

Norwich City’s Form

Since David Wagner took the reins at Carrow Road, he's been a game-changer! With two back-to-back victories, scoring a whopping four goals, the team is back on track. The first half of their games against Preston North End and Coventry City were electric, with three goals in the opening 30 minutes! Although Coventry City put up a good fight, Norwich emerged victorious with a 4-2 score. After a dry spell of four games without a win, the team is now sitting in seventh place, just three points away from third. Wagner's only January addition, Marquinhos on loan from Arsenal, shows he has faith in his current players to step up and deliver their best.

Norwich City’s possible starting lineup

Krul; Aarons, Omobamidele, Hanley, McCallum; Sargent, McLean, Sara; Dowell, Pukki, Hernandez

Burnley’s Form

It's not exactly a cakewalk, but Burnley is braving the journey to East Anglia for the second weekend in a row. After an impressive six-match winning streak, the Clarets faced a stalemate with Ipswich Town in the FA Cup fourth round, adding another game to their already packed schedule. But for Vincent Kompany and his squad, every chance to make a mark in their first season at Turf Moor is worth it. The league remains their main focus, and with a five-point lead over Sheffield United and a comfortable 12 points ahead in the playoffs, they're in a pretty sweet spot. The hard work has already paid off, and on Saturday, Burnley has the chance to play with more freedom and flair than their hosts.

Muric; Roberts, Beyer, Taylor, Maatsen; Cullen, Bastien, Brownhill; Tella, Barnes, Zaroury
