Burnley and Hull find themselves stationed at opposite ends of the Championship table ahead of their meeting on Wednesday night at Turf Moor.

While the Clarets are hot on the heels of leading pair Leeds and Sheffield United in the battle for automatic promotion, Hull will be looking over their shoulder at the Championship relegation zone.

Hull were not involved in the FA Cup at the weekend but Burnley secured a spot in the fifth round of the competition thanks to a 1-0 slaying of Premier League side Southampton.

Team news

Mike Tresor, Jordan Beyer and Aaron Ramsey are still unavailable for the hosts, who could also be without Luca Koleosho and Josh Brownhill.

But the likes of Zian Flemming, Jaidon Anthony and Lyle Foster could come into the team as Burnley look to rotate following their FA Cup win.

Hull, meanwhile, will have to make do without Charlie Hughes, Kasey Palmer, Liam Miller and Mohamed Belloumi, while Cody Drameh is a doubt.

The stats

Burnley are on a 20-game unbeaten run in all competitions, beating the likes of Watford, Sheffield United and Bristol City in that run.

As for Hull, they have lost two of their last three league contests and have posted just seven wins in the Championship this term.

The Clarets have been especially solid at the back, conceding only nine times in the 2024-25 Championship season, and they are targeting a 10th consecutive league clean sheet on Wednesday.

Prediction

It is a big mistake to avoid the obvious when it comes to football betting and Burnley are a solid bet to win this game.

But customers looking to extract more value out of a Clarets triumph should consider Burnley to win to nil.

Burnley's defensive prowess is no secret with just nine goals conceded all season in the second tier, while Scott Parker's side are also targeting a 10th straight clean sheet in the league.

That solidity at the back has meant they are unbeaten in their last 20 matches in all competitions and they stifled Premier League side Southampton at the weekend.

Attention now turns back to the Championship, though, and they should feel confident of shutting out a Hull team who have lost two of their last three games.

The Tigers lack the attacking bite to find a way through a solid Burnley team, who can win this without conceding.
