Burnley – 7/10 Draw – 47/20 Sheffield Wednesday – 21/5 Burnley v Sheffield Wednesday prediction Burnley head into their Friday night Championship clash looking to close the gap between themselves and the automatic promotion places as they look to secure an instant return to the Premier League following last season’s relegation. Scott Parker’s side currently sit third in the table, and head into the weekend five points behind second placed Sheffield United just above them, who take on league leaders Leeds on Monday night, enabling the Clarets to make up ground on at least one of the top two. The Lancashire side prepare for the visit of Sheffield Wednesday unbeaten in all competitions since the start of November, a run spanning 22 matches, conceding just four goals in that time, and winning three of their last four games. Burnley have been making headlines this season with their incredible defensive performances throughout the campaign, and head into their 34th league game of the season having conceded just nine goals. Sheffield Wednesday are the latest team to be tasked with penetrating the Clarets’ defence, who have kept 11 league clean sheets in a row ahead of Friday night. Danny Rohl’s side will be looking to get back to winning ways at Turf Moor after just one win in their last four matches as they continue to push themselves towards a top six finish and a play-off place, putting them in contention for top flight football for the first time since 2000. The Owls currently occupy ninth place in the Championship table, just their second season back in the second tier after promotion from League One in 2023, with only three points separating them from the play-off positions despite their 2-1 loss at home against Coventry last weekend. The Yorkshire side do tend to do well on their travels though, with only four teams having picked up more points away from home in the division, which includes two wins in their last three on the road. Burnley remain unbeaten at home unbeaten in all competitions this season with their defence in the form they are it’s difficult to imagine anything other than yet another clean sheet for James Trafford – I’m predicting a 1-0 home win on Friday night. Burnley v Sheffield Wednesday betting tips Burnley will be desperate to close the gap between themselves in third and the two automatic promotion places with victory on Friday night and have won three of their last four matches ahead of this weekend’s game. The Clarets have kept 11 league clean sheets in a row but have also scored only three in their five, leaving a 1-0 win, which would be their eighth of the campaign, looking likely. In five of Burnley’s last six wins, Flemming has scored, and the Dutchman made himself the club’s joint top goal scorer in all competitions this season last weekend with a header in the Lancashire side’s 2-0 win over Hull.
