Burnley vs Cardiff Prediction

Burnley Form

Burnley suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches, as they were run over by Tottenham in a 2-1 defeat. Nottingham Forest also proved too hard to handle, as they won 1-2, before Burnley were able to strike back last time out in a 1-4 win against Luton. Burnley won four of their previous six Championship games at the Turf Moor. They both drew and lost once, as they conceded two and scored 13 goals.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Burnley should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

Cardiff Form

In their last three matches, Cardiff lost against Rotherham and Sunderland by 5-2 and 0-2, respectively, and beat Bristol Rovers by 2-0. Cardiff won half their previous six away matches in the Championship, as well as seeing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored seven goals whilst conceding 11.

The big goal of the season for Burnley is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming Championship season.

Burnley are far too strong to let a home win slip against Cardiff, but at the same time, we don't expect the visitors to get over-run. This makes us target the home win in a match with less than three goals.
