Burnley take on the visitors Norwich in the round 9 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, September 9th at Turf Moor (Burnley).
Burnley are no longer Dyche's team. The Clarets and Sean have been through a lot. They even flew to the Championship, and immediately returned back and climbed into European competition. But, most importantly, from year to year, a modest and poor club remained in the elite of English football ... until last season, when the red-haired manager was fired, which, however, did not help to escape relegation. In the summer they made an unexpected bet on Vincent Kompany. Yes, the Belgian is a legend of English football, but as a player, and his work as a coach at Anderlecht left a controversial impression. As a manager, he started with a victory over Huddersfield, but then went 4 matches without a win. It turned out to add only at the end of the summer, when they consistently won against Wigan and Millwall, and West Bromwich equalized at home in the 8th added minute.

Norwich gradually added. The "Canaries" are generally a "football lift" of Albion. Twice they were promoted to the Premier League under Farke, but they failed to gain a foothold there. Last season Daniel was fired, but it didn't help. At the same time, Dean Smith, who replaced the German, retained his post, of course, realizing that it was necessary to return the wards back to the Premier League. The start was unsuccessful: only 1 point in the first 3 matches (draw with Wigan at home with defeats to Cardiff and Hull). But already in mid-August it turned out to reverse this unpleasant trend. At first, it turned out to be victorious 2-1 at home with Huddersfiuld, and this was followed by successful fights against Millwall, Sunderland, Birmingham and Coventry. True, at the same time, Norwich flew out of the League Cup, but with dignity: they lost to Bournemouth only in the penalty shootout after 2-2.
Last season, having risen in the Premier League, Norwich were able to collect 4 points in fights with Burnley. First there was a goalless draw on the Claret field, and then the Canaries won 2-0 at home. Burnley is regarded as the favorite for the fight - they play at home. But Norwich have gained momentum too, so you can use the "both to score" option.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
