Norwich - Burnley: Crestfallen Canaries

On Saturday evening Norwich host Burnley at Carrow Road, the last Premier League game to be played in Norwich for some time. I think a dispirited home side will find it hard to score against solid and buoyant visitors.

Norwich

The yo-yo years continue for the Canaries. The club found it too hard to adapt and improve the crowd-pulling ways from the Championship and with just 21 points from 36 games this season relegation is a fact.

Statistics

Only 5 teams have created fewer shots and shots on target than Norwich so far this season, Norwich creating on average 11.03 shots and 3.47 shots on target per game.
Looking at the 4 most recent games, only Brighton have created fewer shots on target than Norwich, the Norfolk club creating on average 2.00 shots on target per game.

No other team have a worse shoot percentage than Norwich this season, Teemu Pukki & Co. scoring a dismal 20% of the created shots on target.

Burnley

The Clarets still have a shot at a European cup spot, residing in 10th place with 51 points, but grinding out victories in the remaining games is a must. With 2 rounds remaining they trail Tottenham in 7th place by 4 points and Wolverhampton in 6th by 5 points. If Arsenal don't win the FA-cup this year, then finishing in 7th place will bring about continental flair next season.

Statistics

Burnley concede around the league average of shots and shot on target this season, Burnley conceding on average 14.42 shots and 4.56 shots on target per game.
However, looking at away games against bottom 6 teams specifically, only champions Liverpool have conceded fewer shots on target than Burnley so far this season, the Lancashire outfit conceding on average 3.43 shots on target per game.

Only 8 teams have a better save percentage this season than Burnley, Nick Pope saving some 71% of the faced shots on target.
