Burnley Prediction
After what has been a very difficult and ultimately disappointing campaign for Burnley, Sean Dyche’s men have seen a sudden upturn in their fortunes as the hosts have collected three wins on the trot in all competitions.
Recent back-to-back wins in the Premier League over West Ham and Huddersfield Town along with a FA Cup 3rd round win over League One side, Barnsley, mean that The Clarets head into this vital clash looking for an unprecedented (at least this season) fourth win on the trot in all competitions.
Prior to the recent league wins, Burnley had managed just one victory in the top flight from their previous 12 matches which had left the famous Lancashire club in the bottom three, but the welcome wins have lifted them away from the relegation zone at least for the time being.
Burnley’s home record stands at 3-1-6 12/20 which includes two wins from their last three on home turf, while the forward trio of Barnes (4 goals), Vokes and Wood (3 goals apiece) look the most likely for the hosts.
Key-Facts – Burnley v Fulham
- Burnley head into this match looking for a fourth win on the trot in all competitions
- Fulham have lost 8 of their last 9 away matches
- Fulham have failed to score in 6 of their 11 away matches to date
Fulham Prediction
Despite still awaiting their first away win of the season, Fulham will make their way up to Burnley in what they’ll feel like a decent chance to add to their points tally at Turf Moor having picked up recent important points in three of their last four league matches.
Back-to-back draws with Newcastle United and Fulham in 0-0 and 1-1 draws respectively was followed by an invaluable three points with a 1-0 home win over fellow strugglers Huddersfield Town, so the visitors will be hoping they can get something off Burnley today.
However, Fulham suffered a heavy 4-1 loss last time out in the Premier League away at Arsenal which became The Cottagers’ eighth loss in nine away matches while their away record so far this season stands at a poor 0-2-9 7/28.
Within this poor record, Fulham have failed to score in 6 of their 11 away matches to date, so a lot depends on their leading goalscorer Mitrovic (8 goals) and midfielder Schurrle (5 goals) if the visitors are to get anything from this encounter.
Betting Tips Verdict
Burnley will have been boosted by their recent wins while Fulham still continue to make slow but steady progress under Claudio Ranieri. I’ll back Burnley with the draw no bet option here though.
