Our prediction for this Championship match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Hull City, Burnley will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Championship when they face QPR on Matchday 12. The Clarets are undefeated in the previous eight league games, but they surely want to start winning on a regular basis. Burnley’s injury list remains pretty long, including the likes of Ramsey, Beyer, Ekdal, Delcroix, Redmond, Tresor, Manuel, Foster, and Worrall, but Scott Parker still has a number of high-profile players to choose from.
The Hoops, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their form, with the team losing four of their last five league fixtures. As QPR were beaten by both Blackburn and Derby in the last two away games in the Championship, we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing hosts. All Michael Frey, Kenneth Paal, Jack Colback, and Liam Morrison continue to miss out with injuries for the away team.
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.
