Burnley vs Fulham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-02-02 15:00.
[p]Seven points adrift of safety and drowning in the relegation zone ahead of the round, Burnley are losing more hope of survival with each passing matchday. Returning home after a 3-1 midweek defeat to Manchester City to face Fulham promises to do little to appease the disgruntled Clarets faithful, who have watched their side collect a Premier League-low four points at home this season (W1, D1, L9) as they remain on course for an instant return to the Championship.[/p]
[p]Without a win yet in 2024 (D1, L2), youâd have to go back to just before Christmas for Burnleyâs last win, although that victory was against Fulham (2-0). Vincent Kompanyâs side now have the chance to complete a top-flight league H2H double over the Cottagers for the first time since 1965/66, and with an eye-catching top-tier home record against Fulham (W10, D4, L1), few could rule out the possibility. [/p]
[p]Itâs a concerning record for Fulham, who certainly havenât enjoyed visiting this part of East Lancashire given they havenât won away to Burnley since 1951. Theyâve amassed a whopping 33 winless visits since (D7, L26) and travel north on the back of a five-match winless run (D2, L3), meaning this trip probably comes at an inopportune time as they seek to turn around their fortunes. [/p]
[p]Travelling in general has been a chore for Fulham of late, who have lost five successive away league games, part of a wider ten match winless run on the road in Premier League action (D3, L7). Concerningly, the last three of those came âto nilâ, but given Fulham have scored exactly once on each of their last four visits to Turf Moor, perhaps thereâs some hope they can at least buck that trend. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: A January arrival on loan from Fulhamâs West London rivals Chelsea, Burnleyâs David Datro Fofana came off the bench to assist their consolation goal against City on his debut. With an eye for scoring in these parts, Bobby De Cordova-Reid has scored on two of Fulhamâs three prior league visits to the North West this season, both times after the 70th minute.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Fulham have failed to score in the first half in eight of their 11 away league games this season.[/p]
