Our prediction for this Championship match:
Saturday’s football game at Turf Moor pits together Burnley and Watford, the two promotion-chasing sides. Burnley aim to build on a 2-1 win over Norwich City and a triumph over Watford could see them climb to the automatic promotion places. Both Maxime Esteve and Jeremy Sarmiento limped off with injuries in the last league match, with duo Egan – Laurent being ready to step up. The likes of Ramsey, Beyer, and Tresor Ndayishimiye remain in the recovery room.
The Hornets, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over WBA, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Burnley are going to pick up all three points from the match. It has to be noted that Watford have already suffered six defeats on the road this term. The likes of Dele-Bashiru, Keben, and Ogbonna should miss out with injuries for the visiting 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.
