Fulham vs Burnley Predictions

• Fulham have won four of their last seven home league games
• Burnley have lost six of their last 10 away Premier League matches
• Alex Iwobi has scored in two of his last four league outings

Silva’s shorties can claim win against Clarets

Fulham are the shortest-priced Premier League team to win this weekend as they look to overcome an inconsistent run of form against relegation-threatened Burnley at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva’s men have won four, lost five and drawn one of their last 10 top-flight matches.

The Whites kept a clean sheet at the City Ground last weekend, but failed to score for a third game in a row in all competitions. Their European hopes look to be fading away and it makes you wonder if Silva can keep them motivated for the remaining games with little to play for and a World Cup looming large for some in the summer.

This clash represents a chance to get back on track against a struggling Clarets side that have also failed to find the back of the net in their last two Premier League games.

Defensive flaws haunt Burnley

Scott Parker’s men were second best against Bournemouth last weekend and had Bashir Humphreys to thank for the last-ditch defending that kept the contest scoreless. That was the 11th straight winless game for them at Turf Moor, while their away results have been only marginally more encouraging.

Burnley have drawn three and won one – at Crystal Palace – of their last seven road trips. The club have also won four of their last five visits to Craven Cottage, but will struggle to keep that run going without the likes of Zeki Amdouni and Josh Cullen.

The Clarets’ last productive performance was in the 4-3 home defeat to Brentford when they had two crucial late strikes disallowed after battling back from an early 3-0 deficit. That display was still completely riddled with defensive flaws, however.

Iwobi capable of making his mark

Fulham should have the quality to make them pay for anything similar on Saturday and, although the odds are short, the home side are worthy favourites here. The Whites have scored exactly two goals in four of their last six home league games, which should be enough to claim all three points if repeated.

Burnley have the division’s second-worst away record and the worst defensive record on the road, so back Fulham to win with at least two goals in the game for a small price boost.

Alex Iwobi has bagged in two of the Whites’ last four league games and could get some joy running from midfield, as Mikkel Damsgaard did against Burnley in that seven-goal Brentford thriller.
