Burnley form and stats

Burnley have played 11 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-5 (wins-draws-losses).

A good away victory last time out for Burnley, who won 3-0 against Crystal Palace (placed 14th). Preceding that match was a FA Cup defeat to AFC Bournemouth (0-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Burnley perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Burnley as a small favourite), we find eight games. Burnley has won three of these, drawn three and lost two.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Burnley as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. West Bromwich Albion are visiting.

Burnley have scored 9 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. 13 goals have been conceded.

Fulham have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. It's been 226 minutes since they last conceded in Premier League.

It's the second away game in a row for Fulham, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Everton (placed 7th) in the Premier League last time out. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against West Ham United.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Fulham in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Fulham, two draws and one defeat.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Sheffield United in just three days.
