Burnley vs Fulham Prediction: Visitors to profit against hapless Clarets

Burnley are on a six-game losing streak in the Premier League heading into their match against Fulham at Turf Moor on Saturday (17:30 GMT, Sky Sports Main Event). The Cottagers head here off the back of two defeats themselves which they will look to fix in Lancashire.

Team News
Zeki Amdouni (knee), Jordan Beyer (hamstring), Connor Roberts (Achilles) and Bashir Humphreys (muscle) all remain out of action for Burnley due to injury.
Scott Parker has further personnel issues here with suspensions to Hannibal Mejbri, Kyle Walker and Lucas Pires.
Given how desperate his side is for a win, the Clarets boss may be tempted to deploy both Lyle Foster and Zian Flemming up front.
Ryan Sessegnon and Rodrigo Muniz (both thigh) will be absent for Fulham due to injury. Antonee Robinson has been out with a knee issue for a period of time and he has an outside shot of being included in the matchday squad, but Marco Silva may decide to give him more time to get up to speed.
This will be the last game in which Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze are available for the Cottagers, before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria.
Harry Wilson is a man in form at the moment (three goal involvements in as many games) and he should continue on the right side of the attack for the visitors.
Burnley vs Fulham Predicted Lineups
- Burnley: Dubravka; Sonne, Ekdal, Esteve, Hartman; Ugochukwu, Cullen, Florentino; Tchaouna, Foster, Anthony
- Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Castagne; Iwobi, Berge; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze; Jimenez
Burnley have won just two of their seven home games in the league so far and they are 3/1 to pick up the three points here.
The two teams have drawn three matches between them in the top flight this season and the stalemate is on offer at 12/5.
Fulham are 1/1 (50% implied probability) to come away with the victory and they have won two of their previous four league outings.
With two goals in his last three appearances, Fulham's Wilson is 12/5 to score anytime on Saturday.
Burnley vs Fulham Stats
- Fulham have won two of their last four games
- BTTS - Yes has struck in six of their past away matches in the league
Match Result - Fulham @ 1/1
A two-game losing streak is disappointing for Fulham but they were narrowly beaten on both occasions. They fought hard to get something in the 5-4 thriller at home to Manchester City and they were narrowly beaten by Crystal Palace last time out.
The Cottagers will be determined to get back on track here and this may be seen as a free hit because Burnley are in a far worse state, with six defeats on the spin. Parker's comments in the media in recent weeks have sounded like a man who is close to losing all hope.
Fulham should look to profit from this at Turf Moor. The hosts will try to make life difficult but their confidence is likely going to be on the floor and Fulham's individual quality should shine through.

Both Teams To Score - Yes @ 10/11
I may be predicting more misery for Burnley but they can play their part in this clash, particularly as they are the home side. Fulham are not the most defensively sound side and so I think at the very least, the Clarets can get on the scoresheet in this contest.
BTTS - Yes has struck in six of Fulham's last eight away matches in the Premier League, while this selection has landed in each of their previous three outings in the top flight heading into Saturday.
For Burnley, there have been goals at both ends in three of their past five fixtures in the league.
