The EFL Championship matchday 27 on Friday at the Turf Moor brings an intriguing top-four battle between Burnley and Sunderland. This match between the 2nd-placed Clarets and the 4th-placed Black Cats, separated by just two points, comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
Burnley has 52 points and Sunderland 50, with the two teams chasing automatic promotion that’s reserved for the top two spots. The hosts are one point behind leaders Leeds but have the best defensive record of the campaign with only nine goals conceded.
The Clarets defeated Reading 3-1 in extra time in the FA Cup away from home last weekend. They had a 1-0 win over Blackburn away from home in their last league match, extending their unbeaten run to 13 league matches.
The record is equally impressive at home, as Burnley is unbeaten in 12 league games this season at this venue, winning and drawing six times each.
Sunderland was beaten 2-1 at home by Stoke, also in extra time, in their FA Cup match last weekend. They had a 2-1 win over Sheffield United and a 1-0 win over Portsmouth in their last two league matches, both at home.
The away record needs improvement, though, as Sunderland won just one of their last seven league trips, drawing four and losing two.

Our Burnley vs Sunderland Prediction
There’s so much riding on this result as both Burnley and Sunderland are dreaming of automatic promotion. Burnley will hope to continue their strong defensive performances, as they conceded a league-low nine goals this season. Sunderland may look to spoil their plans, as they come here with a record of 39 goals, the third-best tally in this campaign. The Black Cats still have a lot to improve on the road, and that may limit the number of goals here. That’s why our prediction for Burnley v Sunderland is under 2.5.
