What is the prediction for Burnley vs Bristol City?

Match analysis
Burnley and Bristol City are combining for 2.4 goals a game this season, and four of Burnley's last five have finished with two goals or more, which is why Superior backs Over 1.5 goals at 1.3 for their Championship date on 5 September, priced at a 64 percent probability.
Four of Burnley's last five matches have produced two goals or more
Burnley's recent results read 1-4, 1-3, 2-2, 1-1 and 0-1, only the last one falling short of this line, and Bristol City's away form has been similarly open with three wins by two goals or more. Between them the two sides are averaging 2.4 goals a game, comfortably enough to clear 1.5 on the numbers alone.
The one meeting between these sides finished a tight 1-0
This loses only if the match produces one goal or none, and the single previous meeting between these clubs did exactly that, a 1-0 Burnley win last year. Burnley have also lost 0-1 at home this season. If either defence repeats that pattern instead of the more common open scoreline, the pick fails.
