Coventry City prepare to entertain Burnley at Highfield Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 8 of the 17 previous games, with the Sky Blues winning just 6.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Highfield Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2004, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a League Division One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Sky Blues at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Clarets come away with an easy victory. Away win
