Burnley - Fulham predictions

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Burnley fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Fulham would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

With a price of 1.98 on them winning, Fulham should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

The hosts are coming from a narrow Newcastle United defeat last time out in the Premier League. They played a rather difficult away match and seeing them lose on a one-goal margin is not as disastrous as things might have been.

Fulham unexpectedly kept up with the visiting team, Crystal Palace, in their previous home game. However, they stumbled towards the end and had to contend with a narrow 1:2 defeat.

The first step The Clarets need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for The Cottagers lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

The relegation fight is becoming a difficult reality for Burnley after 16 rounds in the Premier League. The current campaign is not exactly panning out the way hosts would have imagined but not everything is lost. However, with Fulham coming to town, Burnley are likely to look for salvation points elsewhere.

When it comes to Fulham, the current season has not exactly gone their way. Sitting in 15th with 17 to their name, they need to pick up their form and Saturday is the perfect time to do so. With 1.98 offered at bookmakers, the visitors are clear favourites to bag three points.

Due to the absence of injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their complete lineups available for an exciting match.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.06, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
