Examine predictions, team news and betting tips for the Championship match between Burnley and Norwich City on Friday 11th April (8pm BST).
Tip 1
Norwich’s Spanish winger has been largely known for his goalscoring exploits this season, however, the 24 year old’s off the ball activity should be highlighted.
He’s committed a tally of 55 fouls in 36 league appearances this term – a figure that surpasses any of his teammates and is the joint-eighth highest number of fouls given away by a player in this division in the 2024/25 campaign.
City’s No.7 has met this particular line of 2+ in each of his last five matches – a run which has seen his side win only one of these fixtures – and given the expected outcome at Turf Moor on Friday, odds of 5/6 look fair for him to give away at least another two.

Tip 2
For my longer range punt I’m siding with three forwards to have at least a shot on target each in this 10/1 SOT bet builder with BetMGM.
Norwich’s two forwards have combined for a whopping 76 total shots on target in the Championship this season, with Sainz performing for this bet in all but one of his last nine, while Sargent has scored his team’s last two goals and had a SOT in the last four.
As for Jaidon Anthony, he’s registered the most efforts of any Burnley player (82) and sits level with striker Zian Flemming at the top of the club’s standings for shots on target with 26, letting off six in his last four outings.

The Clarets sit 2nd in the second tier standings, further extending their unbeaten run to seven games with a midweek goalless draw against Derby County at Pride Park.
Scott Parker will be without Lyle Foster for Friday’s game after the striker sustained a shoulder injury just six minutes after entering the field as a substitute on Tuesday. He will be joined by Jonjo Shelvey, Mike Tresor and Jordan Beyer on the sidelines, the latter two of which are long-term absentees for the hosts.
Burnley Predicted XI: Trafford; Roberts, Egan-Riley, Esteve, Pires; Edwards, Cullen, Laurent, Anthony; Brownhill; Flemming.
Despite a noticeable drop off in form that has seen them drift further from a return to the Premier League, the Canaries earned themselves a respectable point at home to promotion chasing Sunderland on Tuesday.
Onel Hernandez is unlikely to feature once again after he was left out of their squad for the Sunderland match having liked several social media posts that were critical of both the club and his coach. That leaves Norwich without five players, as Ben Chrisene, Gabriel Forsyth, Lewis Dobbin and Ante Crnac are all out injured.
Norwich Predicted XI: Gunn; Stacey, Duffy, Cordoba, Fisher; Wright, McLean; Schwartau, Marcondes, Sainz; Sargent.
