Fulham vs Burnley: match preview
Fulham have been inconsistent of late. They played out a draw in their most recent match, but prior to that suffered two defeats. Notably, they failed to score in any of those games. After 30 rounds, the team have collected 41 points and currently sit 11th in the table. The gap to the relegation zone stands at 12 points, which is relatively comfortable. However, their recent results have been underwhelming and need to improve if they want to avoid allowing their rivals to close the gap.
Burnley were promoted to the top flight of English football and are now battling for survival. Their chances of staying in the Premier League appear slim at the moment. After 30 matches, Burnley have collected 20 points and sit 19th in the table. The gap to 17th place is nine points, which is significant. The situation is further complicated by their five-match winless run, while other teams are pulling away from the relegation zone. With eight rounds remaining, they need to start winning immediately.
Probable line-ups
- Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Iwobi; Wilson, King, Bobb; Jimenez
- Burnley: Dubravka; Humphreys, Laurent, Esteve; Walker, Ugochukwu, Hannibal, Hartman; Anthony, Foster; Flemming
Prediction
Both teams are struggling in terms of form and will be desperate to secure a win. However, I believe Fulham have the edge at home and should come out on top. The recommended bet is a Fulham victory.
