Watford vs Burnley Predictions

• Burnley have conceded just 13 goals in 42 league games this term
• The Clarets have also lost just twice in this season’s Championship
• Watford have won just one of their last five fixtures

Watertight Clarets can record another win

Promotion – and perhaps even the league title – is in touching distance for Burnley, who can take a big step towards the Premier League with victory away to Watford on Friday.

The Clarets have excelled under Scott Parker this season and show no signs of slowing down as the season approaches the final stretch.

With four matches left to play, there are five points between Burnley in second spot and the playoff places and another win here will move them closer to making the top two.

It is no secret that a watertight deence has been crucial to Burnley’s cause this season with Parker’s men remarkably conceding just 13 goals in 42 league fixtures.

Their tally of 29 league clean sheets is seven better than the next highest tally (Leeds with 22) and they can post another win to nil against mid-table Watford.

Do not expect much from struggling Hornets

The Hornets have been on a downward spiral since the beginning of March, winning just two of their last eight matches, and their hopes of making the playoffs are hanging by a thread.

They have drawn blanks against Stoke, Oxford and Plymouth since the start of March and could be shut out in defeat in this one with Burnley fancied to edge it 1-0.
