Burnley vs Watford Match Analysis & Prediction
14/02/2023 11:00 pm
Burnley will seek to extend their lead at the top of the Championship table on Tuesday when Watford visits Turf Moor.
A 10th straight league win saw them maintain their seven-point lead over second-placed Sheffield United, while they now sit 17 points clear of the third spot in the fight for automatic promotion.
Burnley has enjoyed an excellent start to the season, lying top of the Championship and having won 10 consecutive league games.
After a 5-2 defeat at Sheffield United on 2 December, they returned to action with a 3-0 win over Blackburn Rovers and have won all nine of their matches since then.
They are currently second in the league behind Sheffield United, who have also been victorious in all nine of their games since December, scoring 21 goals but conceding three times.
Watford will hope to get back on track in Tuesday’s test at Blackburn Rovers, having seen their playoff hopes take a hit in recent weeks following a tough run of form.
After beating Blackpool 2-0 in January, the Hornets sat comfortably in the top six on 43 points from 27 league outings.
But they have failed to add another notch to their wins column in four more attempts since, firstly having to settle for a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to Rotherham United before being beaten 2-0 by fellow promotion-chasers Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.
Burnley vs. Watford Head to head
Both sides have 25 games against each other with hosts taking eleven wins while visitors with six wins, and eight draws.

Burnley Team News
Burnley is short of several key players due to injuries, with center-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis, winger Manuel Benson and striker Jay Rodriguez all sidelined. However, manager Vincent Kompany has plenty of depth throughout his squad. Ashley Barnes and January signings Michael Obafemi and Lyle Foster will likely battle to lead the line in Rodriguez’s absence.
