Fulham vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 21/12/2023, 10:00  by Kennedy Kechula in Premier League Predictions

Fulham will be at home on Saturday to welcome Burnley for their next English Premier League assignment. After 17 rounds of play, Fulham are 11th, 13 points clear of second from bottom Burnley. Fulham have registered five of their six league victories at Craven Cottage and have won three straight there coming into this match. With Burnley struggling, Marco Silva’s men will be confident of adding to their win column here. Fulham got back to winning ways in midweek as they sealed progress to the semifinal rounds of the League Cup. The London club defeated Everton on post-match penalties away from home after a 1-1 draw. Fulham will continue to be without striker Raul Jimenez who is serving a three-match ban.

Burnley are increasingly looking like they will be in the relegation picture for the entire campaign. Vincent Kompany’s men have won just two of their 17 league games and currently sit six points from safety. They have lost the joint most games at 13 and have also conceded the second most number of goals with 36. The Clarets haven’t won since managing a surprising 5-0 victory over fellow strugglers Sheffield at the start of December. They have lost twice in their last three games and fell 2-0 last time out at home to Everton. Another defeat here could pile more pressure on Kompany as two of the current bottom four teams have already made managerial changes. Burnley haven’t lost in four previous meetings with Fulham and have won three times.
