Burnley need to start picking up points as they are getting cut adrift of safety, and Fulham are the next team who will pay a visit to Turfmoor in the English Premier League. This is probably not going to be a match that many neutrals will tune into, but it could end up being a long 90 minutes for fans of either of these teams. Below you can find out my views on who I think will go on to claim the three points that are on offer.
🏆 Burnley vs Fulham Hotspur: Who Will Win?
Everyone knew that it would be hard for a young Burnley team to avoid relegation this season, and so it has proven to be. They have won just three games all season, and are seven points adrift of Luton Town, who are occupying 17th at the moment. They are struggling to score goals and are conceding more than two goals per match, which is a recipe for relegation. When it comes to their recent form, they have picked up just 4 points from the last 18 on offer.
Fulham are having a bit of an up-and-down season and currently find themselves in 12th place with 25 points, meaning that they are 7 points above the dreaded drop zone. They are not out of the woods yet and know that a couple more losses will see them looking nervously over their shoulders again. Like Burnley, they have also only picked up four points from their previous six matches, with only Brentford and Sheffield United performing worse.
Many will look at the table and back a Fulham win, but I am going to go against the grain here and back Burnley to come out on top and get a huge three points. Regarding the score, I am going to go for 2-1 for the home side.
My Prediction: 🏆 Burnley 2 Fulham 1 ⚽

Burnley vs Fulham: Match Winner Odds
Fulham are the slight favourites to win this game, which is not surprising as Fulham have undoubtedly had the better season so far. However, Fulham have lost five of their previous away matches, while their record against Burnley is nothing to write home about. The odds for a match winner in this match, as you can see in the table below, are enticing to add to an accumulator bet, if you like to place such wagers.
| Team |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burnley | 2.92 | 2.92 | 3.00 | 3.00 | 2.90 |
| Draw | 3.30 | 3.30 | 3.35 | 3.55 | 3.45 |
| Fulham | 2.38 | 2.38 | 2.45 | 2.45 | 2.38 |
Burnley vs Fulham: Both Teams To Score Odds
Both of these teams have struggled to keep the ball out of their net throughout the season - in the 44 matches that they have played in total between them, they have conceded a total of 81 goals. The top bookies reckon that the most likely outcome is for both teams to find the back of the net, and I agree with this due to the defensive records of both Burnley and Fulham. Check out the following table to see the odds of both teams scoring:
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | 1.68 | 1.68 | 1.67 | 1.71 | 1.71 |
| No | 1.71 | 2.10 | 2.10 | 2.08 | 2.08 |
Burnley vs Fulham: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
When it comes to the total number of goals that will be scored in this match, the bookies are basically sitting on the fence. They are favouring, but ever so slightly, the under 2.5 goals market. Since neither team has been prolific in front of goal this season, you can see why the bookmakers are having trouble with regard to this particular market. If you like to bet on this market, then below are the current odds that are on offer.
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 | 1.87 | 1.87 | 1.90 | 1.88 | 1.88 |
| Under 2.5 | 1.84 | 1.84 | 1.85 | 1.92 | 1.92 |
✔️ Burnley vs Fulham - Betting Tips
Now that I have given you the odds that are being offered for three very popular football betting markets, I will now give you some top football betting tips to keep in mind when you are thinking about what to put your hard-earned money on.
- Tip 1: Bet on a Burnley win: Yes, I know that the bookies are favouring Fulham in this one, but I actually think that there is value in betting on Burnley to come out on top. Fulham have been performing poorly away from home recently, while they also have a recent poor record against Burnley. They have drawn just one of the previous five matches that they have played against them. If you want to back Burnley to win, then LeoVegas Sports are offering odds of 3.00.
- Tip 2: Both teams to score: Neither of these two sides are adept at keeping the ball out of their net, so backing both teams to score in this match is certainly something that I can get behind. From their previous 10 matches, both teams have scored on six occasions. At the time of writing, BetUK Sports are offering odds of 1.71.
- Tip 3: Back Joao Palhinha to be booked: If you like to try and predict a player that will pick up a yellow card in a match, then one player who is certainly worth looking at in this match is Palhinha. The Brazilian plays on the edge and is not afraid to get stuck in, which has seen him pick up more bookings than any other player in the league. If you want to back him to be booked, then 10Bet are offering odds of 1.90.
- Tip 4: Back Burnley to win 2-1:: If you are thinking about betting on the score of this match, then my prediction is a 2-1 win for Burnley. Betiton Sport is currently offering odds of 9.55 for this result.
1️⃣Burnley Update
In my opinion, Burnley need a bit of a miracle in order to avoid an immediate return back to the second division of English football. From their remaining 16 games, they are probably going to need to win around 50% of them to stand a chance of surviving, and it is hard to see them doing this - especially since they have only won three games all season to date.
Only Sheffield United have conceded more goals than them, and not many teams avoid the drop when they are scoring an average of 1 goal per game while conceding a little over two. Miracles can happen, but I do not see Burnley being the beneficiary of one.

| Charlie Taylor | Shoulder Injury |

2️⃣Fulham Update
If Fulham can obtain mid-table mediocrity come May, they and their fans will be happy with the season. At the moment, if a few results do not go their way, then there is a chance that they could be dragged into a relegation battle. They currently have a 7-point cushion on the Relegation Zone, but we all know that can be wiped out pretty quickly. They have lost their previous five away matches, so they will probably not be confident heading into this one.
