Fulham vs Burnley Betting Tips and Predictions

Burnley are setting the pace at the top of the division and if they can continue their current form into May then they will surely be in the Premier League again next season. The Clarets are yet to lose in the league in 2016 and have taken a hugely impressive 30 points from their 12 games since losing to Hull on Boxing Day. They are now 4 points clear of 3rd place Hull but have played a game more than both the Tigers and Middlesbrough in 2nd. They were involved in the East Lancs derby with Blackburn on Saturday and completed the double over their rivals with another 1-0 win which came via an Andre Gray penalty.

Gray has proved a shrewd acquisition topping the Championship goals tally with 21 goals. His closest rival is Fulham’s Ross McCormack who has 17 and the Scottish striker also converted a penalty at the weekend as Fulham drew 2-2 at Reading. Those are two reasons why we could well see a few goals in this one. Even though Fulham are down in 19th place, this match sees the two top scoring teams in the league meet and the only clubs who have passed the 50 goal mark in the division this year.

The way Burnley are playing you can certainly see the visitors scoring especially against a weak Fulham defence but it’s not in the hosts nature to just sit back and hope for a draw particularly in front of their own fans. They have made small strides forwards in recent weeks and their 2-2 draw at an in-form Reading was testament to that so consider backing both teams to score at 4/5 here.
