Fulham vs Burnley: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Sunday 26th August 2018
Kick off at 4pm BST
Venue: Craven Cottage

Match Preview:

It’s been a poor start for Fulham and the omens already do not look good for the side to stay in the Premier League. The problem is with the fact that they are losing games too easily. Defeats against Crystal Palace and Tottenham and conceding 5 goals in the process do not bode well for the side.

The London side have just been too lacklustre only showing the real fight once the game has been lost and they will need to go back to the drawing board if they are to start to claim points.

Burnley have had one eye on qualifying for the Europa League and this has clearly taken their focus off of the league. They have had tough trips to the likes of Turkey for the qualifying stages and already the players look in need of a rest. They have no wins yet, drawing their first game 0-0 against Southampton and then losing at home to Watford 3-1.

After performing so strongly last season, opposition certainly wont be taking them lightly this season, and as a result Burnley could well struggle to repeat the kind of League position they managed last season.

Fulham vs Burnley Prediction:

Burnley face a tough game having to play Greek side Olympiacos a few days after this game and just having returned from Greece. Having said that Fulham haven’t suggested they have much cutting edge, although they may well create more chances and have more possession against the often counter attacking Burnley. This is a difficult result to call, but expect Fulham to be the better side on the day, however will they take their chances?
