Fulham vs Burnley Predictions and Betting Tips
The Craven Cottage is the stage for this highly-anticipated matchup as Fulham host Burnley. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Both sides were involved in a feisty 1-1 draw in the reverse match at the Turf Moor as they went home with a point each. This allowed Burnley to stretch their unbeaten record in this fixture to three games. Can they manage to do that with a win on Monday night?
Relegation escape looking unlikely
Fulham has long since been trying to get out of the relegation zone but all their effort have been to no avail. As of now, they’re six points from safety with just four games to go. This means that a loss here could mean the end of the road for Scott Parker and Co. In their most recent game, they were downed by a Kai Havertz brace at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea ran out 2-0 winners.
Premier League status all but confirmed
It’s looking like the Clarets would play in the English top-flight for yet another season as they’re currently nine points above the drop zone. Having started the season in the worst possible way, Sean Dyche and the Clarets managed to weather the storm and are now comfortably out of the drop zone.

Fulham vs Burnley Prediction: 0-1
We expect to see a low-scoring encounter on Monday with both managers prioritizing a defensive setup. Scott Parker’s troops have been terrible on home soil this season with just two wins at the Craven Cottage. We fully expect the Clarets to take advantage of that as they haven’t been that bad on their travels.
