Burnley vs Bristol City Prediction: The Clarets are expected to win

Burnley will welcome Bristol City to Turf Moor on Saturday as the race for automatic promotion tickets continues for the hosts. Burnley are unbeaten at home this season. Can they continue this good run? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Burnley

Burnley secured a 2-0 win over Swansea in their last game before the international break. Josh Brownhill opened the scoring in the 4th minute before Jaidon Anthony doubled the lead in the 22nd minute. The Clarets are now unbeaten in their last four games and have not suffered a home defeat this season. They also kept clean sheets in seven of their last eight games at home. They sit third on the table with 78 points in 38 games, scoring 52 goals and conceding 11. They have the best defense by far in the Championship this season. However, due to injuries, Mike Tresor, Aaron Ramsey, Enock Agyei, Jonjo Shelvey, and Zeki Amdouni are ruled out of this game.

Bristol City

Bristol City secured a 2-1 win over Norwich in their last game to extend their unbeaten run to seven games. However, they have secured just one win in their last 11 games on the road. They sit 7th on the table with 57 points in 38 games, scoring 49 goals and conceding 41. However, Robert Atkinson (calf), Ayman Benarous (hamstring), Ross McCrorie (leg), Luke McNally (leg), George Tanner (knee), and Fally Mayulu (muscle) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.
