Burnley host West Brom in one of the most exciting ties of Gameweek No 28 in the Championship on Friday night at Turf Moor.

Clarets are flying high under Vincent Kompany this season. They are five points clear at the top of the league table at the moment.

The automatic promotion is all but secured with as many as 16 points between Burnley and third-placed Watford at the moment.

Kompany’s men have 13 wins in the last 15 outings across competitions. The lone two defeats in this streak have come to the likes of Sheffield United (the second-placed team in the Championship) and Manchester United (in the League Cup).

The latest of the team’s successes came six days ago when center-back Louis Beyer notched his first goal of the season eight to give Burnley a precious three-pointer late in the game against Coventry (also at Turf Moor).

Clarets will be seriously tested here given WBA’s form. The Baggies will travel to Turf Moor on the back of four subsequent league wins.

Spanish manager Carlos Corberan is doing a great job on West Brom’s bench. Albion broke into the top-six in the Championship ladder after the mentioned thread.

The Baggies have notched at least two goals in four of the last five games in all competitions. The problem for Corberan ahead of this tie is the fact they have shipped three at Chesterfield and two at Luton Town in the previous two away matches across competitions.

Burnley vs West Brom Head-to-head
None of the previous three head to head games between these sides brought a winner.
Overall, WBA lead the H2H record by 6 wins going into the 88th encounter with Clarets.
Just one of the previous five meetings between these two sides provided three or more goals.
Burnley vs West Brom Prediction
Fatigue may play a role here because West Brom had an FA Cup replay against Chesterfield on Tuesday evening. Corberan did rotate his squad on the occasion but if you combine that game with West Brom’s recent defensive form, you won’t get a positive picture for the Spanish manager.

周五晚上，伯恩利主场迎战西布朗，这将是英冠第28周最激动人心的比赛之一。

红葡萄酒本赛季在孔帕尼的带领下一路高歌猛进。他们目前在积分榜上领先5分。

目前伯恩利和排名第三的沃特福德之间有16分的差距，自动升级几乎已经确定。

孔帕尼的球队在过去15场比赛中取得了13场胜利。这一连胜中仅有的两场失利来自谢菲尔德联队(英冠联赛中排名第二)和曼联(联赛杯)。

球队最近的成功发生在6天前，在对阵考文垂的比赛中，中后卫路易斯·拜尔打进了他本赛季的第一个进球，为伯恩利提供了一个宝贵的三分。

鉴于WBA的状态，红葡萄酒将在这里受到严峻的考验。在随后的四场联赛胜利后，松囊队将前往草地沼泽球场。

西班牙教练卡洛斯·科伯兰在西布朗的替补席上表现出色。在上面提到的线索之后，阿尔比恩闯入了冠军联赛的前六名。

在过去的五场比赛中，松囊军团在四场比赛中至少打入两球。科尔伯兰在这场比赛前的问题是，他们在前两场客场比赛中分别在切斯特菲尔德和卢顿城输掉了三场和两场。

伯恩利对阵西布朗
在之前的三场正面交锋中，双方都没有取得胜利。
总体而言，WBA以6胜领先历史对战记录，进入与Clarets的第88次交锋。
在此前的五次交锋中，双方只有一次打进了三个或更多的进球。
伯恩利vs西布朗预测
疲劳可能会在这里发挥作用，因为西布朗在周二晚上对切斯特菲尔德进行了足总杯重赛。科尔伯兰确实在这场比赛中轮换了他的阵容，但如果你把那场比赛与西布朗最近的防守状态结合起来，你就不会对西班牙教练有一个积极的印象。
