Norwich v Burnley: waiting for goals

Norwich v Burnley: waiting for goals

Very often two good teams play effectively against each other. In a fight without tournament motivation, there should also be plenty of goals.

Norwich

The ninth season in the Premier League turned out to be unsuccessful for Norwich. The team left the elite tournament ahead of schedule unable to cope with the starting excitement.

After 36 rounds of the 2019/20 season, the yellow-greens have only five wins and six draws, which brought 21 points. If this number is lucky in some card game, then in the Premier League this is an early ticket to the Championship. The Canaries have the worst defensive performance - 58 goals conceded, with 26 goals scored, which is 0.72 goals per game. The main goalscorers of the team are Pukki (11 goals) and Cantwell (six goals).

Hosts failed the summer session of the Premier League. They have got seven defeats in the championship and in the last two games they lost dry - from West Ham (0: 4) and Chelsea (0: 1). The last hope of the German mentor and fans of the team was for the FA Cup, but the match with Manchester United was not pulled by the outsider, although he moved the game into extra time.

Biram, Lightner, Hanley and Zimmernmann will not be able to take part in today's match, they will not cope with a leg injury.

Burnley

Burnley is one of the oldest clubs in England, which won a league title twice and is also one of the few teams to have won all four professional divisions in England. By the way, there are only five such teams in the country.

After 36 rounds of the current season, Burnley has 14 wins and nine draws, which brought 51 points and a place in the TOP-10 of the Premier League, which is a very worthy result for the Lancashire team. The defense indicators are quite modest and the attack line was able to score 40 goals. The team's main snipers are Wood (12 goals) and Rodriguez (eight goals).

Such a result was obtained by guests after a great performance in the summer period of the tournament, when after the defeat at the start from Manchester City (0: 5), the “burgundy” ended three matches in a draw and won three victories - over Watford (1: 0) , Crystal Palace (1: 0) and West Ham (1: 0), for which we made a forecast.

It should be noted that apart from the crushing defeat, all other fights ended in a lower outcome.

Barnes, Cork, Lawton, Mee, Rodriguez and Taylor will not be able to play tonight.
