Fulham vs Burnley match preview
A loss for Fulham would see them relegated today, a draw would not mathematically see them relegated but it would be impossible to see them staying up. Even a win for Fulham would only move them to 6 points behind Burnley with both sides having 3 games left to play, so whilst a win would still leave them with a lot of work to do, it would give them a chance and put some pressure on Burnley. Burnley will have to see this as a great opportunity to end any possible late season drama and they know a win will do that.
Fulham have failed to score in 5 of their last 9 league games and in those 9 games they only scored an average of 0.44 goals per game. Fulham have conceded in all of their last 6 league games and they conceded an average of 2 goals per game in those 6 games. Burnley have scored in all of their last 8 league games and they scored an average of 1.62 goals per game in those 8 games. Burnley have conceded in 8 of their last 9 league games and they conceded an average of 1.88 goals per game in those games.
Goals is a tricky market here, as Burnley games recently have seen quite a few goals, but it can’t be guaranteed they will approach this game in the same way they did those games. Fulham simply have to score goals, so you would imagine they would be aggressive tonight and look to go and win the game, especially as with their recent defensive record they really can’t be confident on keeping a clean sheet so they will likely need to score multiple goals.
Over 1.5 goals looks likely given Burnley’s current form and Fulham’s situation. Both teams to score would also have a good chance as whilst Fulham haven’t been impressive in front of goal in recent games, Burnley have been pretty poor defensively and Fulham are sure to have some tricks up their sleeve from set pieces as they have to score here to have any chance if staying up.
Burnley have taken an average of 6.60 corners per game in their last 5 league games. Fulham have taken 3 or more corners in 14 of their last 15 league games and they average 4.93 corners per game in those 15 games. So it’s likely both teams take at least 3 corners and the game could be pushing towards double figures come the end.
Fulham have been given 1+ card in 12 of their last 14 league games and they average 1.50 yellow cards per game in those 14 games. Burnley have been given 2 yellow cards in each of their last 3 league games. The circumstances of this game should also see cards as well as Fulham are desperate to win and Burnley know a win guarantees them safety, so its likely that both teams pick up at least 1 card.
The best bets in this game are
Over 1.5 goals
Both teams to score
3+ corners each team
9+ match corners
10+ booking points each team
