***Burnley vs Birmingham Predictions***

Burnley have won seven of their last eight Championship games, only losing to fellow promotion contenders Sheffield United in that run.
Vincent Kompany’s men have claimed 28 points at home this season – a league-high tally, and are unbeaten at Turf Moor.
Birmingham City’s win over Reading last time out is their only victory in their last four league games.
High-flying Clarets set for Christmas cheer
Burnley may have seen their EFL Cup campaign halted by Manchester United last time out, but the Clarets have won seven of their last eight Championship matches to give themselves an eight-point cushion to third-placed Blackburn Rovers, and Tuesday’s meeting with Birmingham City represents a chance for them to take another step towards a Premier League return. Having boasted a fine record at Turf Moor this season, Vincent Kompany’s men will be confident.

Indeed, 28 of Burnley’s 47 points have been won at home, and they are the only Championship side to have an unbeaten record on their own ground this season (everyone else has lost at least two games). As well as averaging over two goals per game at Turf Moor, Burnley have conceded under a goal per game, and they have not dropped points on home soil since a 1-1 draw against Stoke City in October – winning five consecutive games and scoring 15 goals since then.

Birmingham did clinch a 1-1 draw at home to Burnley two months ago, and John Eustace’s men will be no pushovers on Tuesday. However, Birmingham – who had just 33 per cent of the ball when they last met Burnley – have won just one of their last four games, and six of their eight league victories this term have come against teams currently 12th or lower in the Championship table.

Home comforts to benefit Burnley
While Birmingham – one of just five Championship teams to average under a concession per game this season – are unlikely to be blown away, Burnley’s irresistible home form makes them worth backing for victory.

***伯恩利vs伯明翰预测***

伯恩利在过去的8场英冠比赛中赢了7场，只是在那一场比赛中输给了同为升级争夺者的谢菲尔德联队。
孔帕尼的球队本赛季在主场拿下了28分，这是联赛新高，并且在草地沼泽保持不败。
伯明翰队上次战胜雷丁队是他们最近四场联赛的唯一一场胜利。
高高在上的波尔多葡萄酒将迎来圣诞欢乐
伯恩利可能已经看到他们的EFL杯之旅被曼联中断了，但在过去的8场英冠比赛中，他们赢了7场，让他们在对阵第三名布莱克本的比赛中获得了8分的优势，周二与伯明翰城的比赛对他们来说是一个重返英超的机会。本赛季在草地沼泽球场取得了不错的战绩，孔帕尼的队员们对此充满信心。

的确，伯恩利的47分中有28分是在主场取得的，他们也是本赛季唯一一支在自己主场保持不败的英冠球队(其他球队都至少输了两场)。除了在草地沼泽场均进球超过2球，伯恩利场均失球不到1球，自10月1-1战平斯托克城以来，他们在主场没有丢过分——自那以后连续5场比赛获胜，进了15球。

两个月前，伯明翰在主场1-1战平伯恩利，尤斯塔斯的队员们在周二的比赛中不会轻易被击败。然而，伯明翰——上一场对阵伯恩利时只有33%的控球率——最近4场比赛只赢了一场，他们本赛季的8场联赛胜利中有6场是对阵目前排名第12位或更低的球队。

家的舒适使伯恩利受益
虽然伯明翰是本赛季仅有的五支场均失分的英冠球队之一，但他们不太可能被击败，伯恩利不可抗拒的主场状态让他们值得赢得胜利。

与此同时，伯恩利也取得了多个进球
