Burnley take on the visitors Sunderland in the round 39 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, March 31st at Turf Moor (Burnley).
It is already clear - the "Clarets" are returning to the Premier League. There are no and will not be competitors in the Championship, but against the backdrop of the best teams in England, the Kompani's wards may lose. 0-6 from Manchester City and 0-2 from Manchester United are proof of that. These were the last defeats of the hosts since the end of December. Yes, Burnley lost points in the championship, but it was a draw. A sixteen-point handicap before third place may or may not weaken the Kompany squad. Both Wigan and Hull City, the underdogs of the championship, scored three goals each. An excellent performance at home, the weak defense of the "black cats" does not leave the opponents a chance at least for a draw. It seems to be.

For Sunderland, who have just returned to the second-best league in England this season, it would be a good result to simply keep their place. But the team somehow started off briskly, in some places even claimed to get into the playoffs. But for the whole season and at a distance, the club did not have enough of a quality squad, no stability, no good defensive play. The Black Cats lost three matches in a row, scored four points in the last seven rounds, resisted, albeit not very successfully, Sheffield United at home, but eventually lost. Mowbray still has problems with injured players in every line.
Theoretically, it is still possible to win back seven points for Sunderland. But not the easiest calendar, a meeting with the leader. Looking forward to next season. Burnley may be playing out the season, but due to the lack of any competition should not lose points after the break with such an opponent. Since October last year, only two points have been lost at home. It seems that another two or three goals against the “black cats” and a confident victory. The match of the first round for the guests ended in disaster, 2-4.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to win with -1.0 handicap.
