Birmingham travel north to face the Clarets in the first head-to-head match of newly promoted teams this season.
Burnley have had slightly more success than
Birmingham, with 9 points out of 7 games to
Birmingham's 7 points. Neither team has made much of a goalscoring impact and Burnley have allowed 3 times more goals than they've scored. As the managers know that their teams may be fighting for relegation at some point, neither team will risk too much here. Birmingham play a very defensive style and will continue here on the road at
Turf Moor.
Burnley have done well at home, winning their last game against
Sunderland 3-1 and will not want to disappoint their fans in a game where they are a favorite not to lose. The last 3 times these teams have met have been under 2.5 goals and there is no reason to believe that this game will not follow that trend.
