Burnley and Fulham will meet at Turf Moor on Saturday as round 23 of the Premier League continues. Going into this match, both teams will be looking for their first victory since the new year, as they have both had trouble gaining momentum in the last several weeks.
Burnley 19th place run and seven-point distance from safety following this week’s loss to Manchester City did them no favours.
The decline in Fulham’s performance has caused them to fall into the lower part of the Premier League standings. Without a significant improvement in form, Marco Silva’s squad risks losing into the relegation dogfight, as they are just seven points from the bottom.
16 games are remaining in the season, and with each one, the stakes are rising. Still, the match at Turf Moor on Saturday night should be entertaining.

Betting tips: Burnley x Fulham
Check out our predictions of the day for Burnley vs. Fulham.
Prediction 1: Burnley x Fulham / Full-Time Draw
Not surprisingly, Burnley isn’t playing well, having collected only 12 points in their first 22 Premier League games. Across all competitions, the Clarets’ last four games have resulted in three losses and one tie. At home, they have managed only four points out of a possible thirty-three, and they have only managed three league victories overall all season.
If Fulham weren’t having their problems, they would have a better chance of winning the match. The Cottagers have failed to record a five-game win across all competitions. Additionally, they have suffered five consecutive league losses while playing away from home.
We believe this game will eventually end in a full-time draw.
Prediction 2: Burnley x Fulham / Burnley over 4.5 corners
In front of their supporters, the Clarets always provide solid performances. At Turf Moor, Burnley gets an average of 6.27 corners per game. They may muse their home-field advantage by attacking a faltering opponent. There will be times when Fulham’s defence is under siege since they have let goals in four of their last five games across all competitions. Burnley will want to take advantage of the Cottagers’ away corner-conceding average this weekend.
Prediction 3: Burnley x Fulham / Under 2.5 goals
After a goal-shy Fulham team has failed to produce on the road this season due to cup weariness and additional injury blows, Burnley might be looking for retribution at Turf Moor, particularly considering their remarkable previous successes against the visitors.
The Kompany squad will be working with one fewer day of rest than their colleagues in the capital, and they aren’t exactly known for their productivity. We believe this game will produce little or no goal at all. Under 2.5 looks like a good option here.
