Having asserted their dominance in the Championship the previous season, the Canaries easily clinched the league title with Sheffield United some way off behind in second place. For all that awesomeness in the second-tier, they failed to reinvent that winning mentality in the Premier League.
They began their top-flight campaign on an impressive note with Teemu Pukki and Todd Cantwell firing on all cylinders. However, things went south at the turn of the year, the Canaries found wanting in their attempts to maintain performance levels.

Following an eight-game losing streak across all competitions since Project Restart, Daniel Farke’s charges are relegated to the Championship and have nothing left to play for. With a game against in-form Burnley on the cards, expect this debilitated Norwich side to be easily swept aside.

Norwich City vs Burnley Team News

Invigorated by their chances of finishing in the Europa League places come the end of the season, Burnley have been delivering positive results in recent weeks. They are squeezing out important points, even against the toughest of oppositions.

With Burnley’s squad littered with bang-average players, no particular player can be pin-pointed as the catalyst behind their imperious displays so far. Rather than relying on individual brilliance, the Clarets play together as a team, snatching important results on the way.

Perhaps, the bedrock of their stupendous run of form this term has been their sturdy, resilient and relentless defense. Forming a deep block at the back, even the deadliest of attacks will have their work cut-out in a bid to bring the Clarets down to bare bones.

Having conceded just three goals from their previous six games in the league, Sean Dyche’s defenders deserve a pat on the back for their show. With top-four chasing Wolves coming around town few days ago, the Wanderers were held to a thrilling 1-1 draw at Turf Moor.

Putting a few pieces together – if one of the league’s most potent attacks in Wolves could only breach Burnley once, what chances do this blunt Norwich attack have here? It is really difficult to see the Canaries finding a route past the Clarets’ defense in this fixture.

Worryingly for the hosts, they have registered just a single goal over their previous eight Premier League games, highlighting how clueless they are in attack. Last time out against Chelsea, they failed to muster a single shot throughout the game, and were ultimately condemned to a 1-0 defeat.
As sturdy as Burnley’s defense is, it is also worth noting that they have struggled to register lots of goals. They have scored just once in each of their last six league games, each match featuring no more than two goals.

Norwich City will already be praying for the season to end but still have two games to play before their nightmare Premier League chapter is brought to a close. Surely, they will love to see out the rest of the season in style.

Norwich vs Burnley Predictions

Already guaranteed relegation, there will be no motivation for Norwich City ahead of this fixture, except to save face. In sharp contrast, Burnley sit 10th on the log, and are only four points away from breaching the Europa League places. The Clarets have every reason to go for the win. Given Burnley’s strong defensive record and underwhelming attack, they are very unlikely to register more than a goal here. Also, the hosts will definitely struggle to breach the visitor’s defense. As such, the safest punt will be favoring Burnley for an “away win to nil”.
