After the international break, the big football is back! On Friday night, one game will happen in the English Championship between Burnley and Sunderland. After 37 games, Burnley has 24 wins, 11 draws, only 2 losses, a total of 83 points and 1st place while Sunderland has 14 wins, 11 draws, 13 losses, a total of 53 points and 11th place. In this game, I'm predicting that Burnley is going to win.

The last game for Burnley before the break was against Manchester City in the FA Cup, and the team was demolished by 0:6. In the Championship, Burnley has 2 wins in a row but the team has 13 wins and 3 draws in the last 16 games. At home, Burnley has won 3 games in a row in all competitions but in the Championship, they have 14 wins and 5 draws in 19 games, with a total of 43 goals scored (the best) and 13 conceded (the best). Per xG, Burnley is expected to score 2.08 at home (2nd best) and concede 0.92 (the best).

Sunderland hasn't played very well recently as they have 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses in the last 6 games. These poor results erased their dreams about promotion for 2 seasons in a row. Sunderland has 2 wins in the last 4 road games but they haven't beaten a TOP6 team this term. If the win against QPR wasn't a big surprise and they were better on the pitch, the same can't be said about the game against Norwich. Sunderland won the game 1:0 but Norwich controlled the ball 72% of the time, they had 17 shots overall while Sunderland had 11, and both teams had 5 shots on target and their xG's were almost identical. Per xG, Sunderland is expected to score 1.30 goals on the road this season and concede 1.47.

At the start of March, Burnley's Josh Brownhill got injured and his return date is unknown. Sunderland is without 3 players - Corry Evans, Elliot Embleton and Ross Stewart. In the 1st meeting of the season, Burnely won 4:2 and they came back after Sunderland scored 2 goals in the 1st 20 minutes. With a win in the next 2 games, Burnley can secure a spot in the Premier League and that is their Nr. 1 goal. I have full confidence in this team and they have been dominating this league so there's no question which team is going to win on Friday.

国际比赛日过后，盛大的足球赛事又回来了!周五晚上，英格兰冠军杯的一场比赛将在伯恩利和桑德兰之间进行。37场比赛结束后，伯恩利取得24胜11平2负，积83分，排名积分榜第1;桑德兰取得14胜11平13负，积53分，排名积分榜第11。在这场比赛中，我预测伯恩利会赢。

伯恩利在休息前的最后一场比赛是足总杯对阵曼城，球队0:6被淘汰。在英冠联赛中，伯恩利取得了2连胜，但球队在过去16场比赛中取得了13胜3平的成绩。在主场，伯恩利在所有赛事中都取得了3连胜，但在英冠联赛中，他们在19场比赛中取得了14胜5平的成绩，共进43球(最好成绩)，丢13球(最好成绩)。根据xG，伯恩利预计在主场得分2.08分(第二好)，失球0.92分(最好)。

桑德兰最近踢得不太好，最近6场比赛1胜1平4负。这些糟糕的成绩抹杀了他们连续两个赛季的晋升梦想。桑德兰在过去的4场客场比赛中取得了2场胜利，但他们本赛季还没有击败过排名前6的球队。如果对QPR的胜利不是一个大惊喜，他们在球场上表现得更好，那么对诺维奇的比赛就不是这样了。桑德兰1:0赢了比赛，但诺维奇在72%的时间里控制了球，他们总共有17次射门，而桑德兰有11次，两队都有5次射正，他们的xG几乎相同。根据xG，桑德兰本赛季预计在客场打进1.30球，丢1.47球。

三月初，伯恩利的布朗希尔受伤了，他的复出日期还不确定。桑德兰少了3名球员——科里·埃文斯，埃利奥特·恩布林顿和罗斯·斯图尔特。在本赛季的第一次交锋中，伯恩利以4:2获胜，桑德兰在前20分钟连进两球后，伯恩利扳回一城。只要在接下来的两场比赛中获胜，伯恩利就能确保在英超的一个席位，这是他们的头号进球。我对这支球队充满信心，他们一直统治着这个联赛，所以周五哪支球队会赢是毫无疑问的。
