Fulham vs Burnley Predictions

• Fulham have won their last three home games, scoring 13 goals and conceding just twice.
• Burnley have nine defeats in their last 11 games in all comps.
• The Clarets have scored just six goals in eight games away in the Premier League.

Craven Cottage a stronghold for Fulham

Fulham secured a place in the League Cup semi-finals on Tuesday and now return to Premier League action with a home game against struggling Burnley on Saturday.

The Cottagers slipped to a 3-0 defeat at Newcastle after being reduced to 10 men early on in the last round of league fixtures. Raul Jimenez was dismissed in that game and will sit out on Saturday through suspension, but Fulham should still have more than enough firepower to take down Burnley in his absence.

The West London outfit have won their last three home games and their last two victories at this ground have been 5-0 successes, while Burnley are in woeful form with nine defeats in their last 11 games.

Cottagers can win without conceding

Fulham managed just one clean sheet in their opening eight home games in all comps but have tightened up at the back and head into this weekend’s fixture seeking a third successive home shut-out.

They may just get it, as Burnley have only scored six away goals in eight games in the league and they’ve scored just once across their last three games overall.

A home win looks the best option for our main bet and there should be goals in this fixture as over 2.5 goals has landed in six of Fulham’s last seven games. It could be one-way traffic, however, and a 3-0 win for the hosts has a chance in the correct score market.

Fulham are a team who tend to share the goals around and with Jimenez suspended there are a few big price options for scorer bets. Alex Iwobi has three goals and an assist in his last three appearances at Craven Cottage, and can add to his account against the Premier League’s second worst defence on Saturday.
