Burnley’s search for a first win of the season continues, as they host Bristol City in the Championship. The visitors are sixth, going into this game, while Burnley are 23rd after four rounds. Bristol are coming off two straight wins, and our prediction backs them to extend their unbeaten run.
Burnley finding themselves in the Championship has become a familiar scene in recent seasons. What hasn’t been experienced from them in this league is the way they are struggling at the moment.
The Clarets are coming off a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough, recording their second point of the season. The previous time they played in this league, Burnley hit 100 points and only lost twice as they secured a Premier League return.
Now after four matches, they’ve already lost twice.
Bristol haven’t done well in this fixture and will see this as their best chance to reverse Burnley’s domination. The visitors have lost nine straight times against Burnley and are winless in 10 in this fixture.
They last beat Burnley in 2011, and we have to go back further, to 2007, for their last away win against Burnley. Bristol City’s start to this season, however, should give them confidence that they can put an end to such a poor run.
The Reds lost their opening league game against Millwall but have since gone unbeaten in three, winning two. The latest, a 3-1 victory away at Preston.

Our Burnley vs Bristol City Prediction
The last two meetings between these sides had just two goals, and we strongly feel there will be a change here. These teams have been involved in high-scoring matches in their early exchanges in the season. Both will be going in strongly for three points, and the same could be the case here.
Another change we expect here is for Bristol to end Burnley’s dominance of this fixture. The visitors have been doing well and will be expected to take the battle to the Clarets. Our prediction for Burnley v Bristol City is that Bristol City wins & over 2.5 goals.
