Bet on Burnley vs Sheffield WednesdayAnother Clean Sheets for Parker’s Troops?
Burnley have been incredible defensively this season, shipping just nine goals in 33 league games. However, Scott Parker’s men have lacked ruthlessness at the other end of the pitch, which could cost them a place in the top two come the end of the season.
Burnley find themselves five points behind second-place Sheffield United and seven away from leaders Leeds United. The Clarets have won 17 and lost just two, but only West Bromwich Albion and Preston North End have drawn more.
Sheffield Wednesday were tipped to struggle before a ball was kicked, but the Owls have been one of the Championship’s surprise packages this term. Danny Rohl’s side will go level on points with sixth place with a win at Turf Moor.
Wednesday are looking for a positive result in Lancashire after last weekend’s disappointing home reverse to Coventry City. The Sheffield side have lost two of their previous three in the Championship.

Burnley vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips & Predictions
