Our prediction for this Championship match:
In-form Burnley will look to build on back-to-back wins over Swansea and Bristol City when they face Coventry at their Turf Moor on Tuesday evening. The Clarets have been impressive at the back, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in the midweek clash. Burnley’s injury list, though, remains pretty long, including the likes of Beyer, Delcroix, Foster, Ekdal, Manuel Hedilazio, Ramsey, Redmond, Tresor Ndayishimiye, and Worrall.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league matches and given their ups and downs on the road, home win should definitely be considered. Ben Wilson, Haji Wright, and Raphael Borges Rodrigues should be the only absentees in the visiting team. In their last meeting at Turf Moor Burnley defeated Coventry 1-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Burnley):
Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
