Match Analysis

Both teams come into this fixture with unsatisfactory recent performances. Burnley has suffered three consecutive losses, with their most recent defeat being a 1-2 away loss to Newcastle. Burnley has struggled both offensively and defensively, scoring an average of only 0.6 goals per game while conceding 1.2 over the last five matches. Their expected goals metrics reveal potential underperformance, with 0.832 expected goals scored and 1.678 expected goals conceded per game. Fulham, on the other hand, has shown a bit more promise, securing a notable 2-1 victory against Tottenham away from home in their last three matches. However, their defense has been leaky, conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game. They have managed to score an average of 1.0 goal per match, with 0.844 expected goals. Despite their defensive vulnerabilities, Fulham's ability to find the back of the net gives them an edge over Burnley.

Final Prediction

Fulham's superior attacking form and recent victory against Tottenham suggest they have the upper hand against a struggling Burnley side. Burnley’s inability to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches further tilts the balance in Fulham's favor. A key factor to watch in this game will be Fulham's offensive output, which could determine whether they secure the expected victory.
