England Premier League
Monday 10th May 2021
Kick off at 8pm BST
Venue: Craven Cottage
Match Preview:
The Cottagers will have to recall their form from a couple of months ago on Monday evening if they are to have any chance in staying up this season. Their chances look bleak but this game presents the chance for the club to meet the side that they need to replace in the league. Though that is easier said than done,
Fulham are in 18th place with 27 points and Burnley have 36 in 17th place, victory for Burnley and Fulham would be relegated to the Championship. However if the game ends in a draw Fulham would be just be holding on to survival, really they need to win this game. Even if Fulham win they will likely be relegated as they need Burnley to lose their remaining games but victory will keep their survival dreams alive. Last weekend Fulham lost to Chelsea 2-0 and form has been poor for the Cottagers who have won just 1 point from their last 15.
Burnley have lost 4 out of their last 5 games and whilst the team should be safe, if they lose here they could start to panic. Last weekend the club took the lead over West Ham but ended up losing that match 2-1 it was their 16th defeat of the season.
Away from home Burnley have lost 9 times but they did win their last game on the road and it was a glorious one too as they beat Wolves 4-0. Depending on how results pan out over the weekend Burnley could move up to 15th with a win here.
Team News:
Fulham: Tom Cairney could be assessed ahead of this game after being out for an extended period. Harrison Reed has a knock but is being tipped to be ok for this game.
Burnley: Dale Stephens will be assessed as he has a knock. Kevin Long is out with his Achilles as is Robert Brady.
Fulham vs Burnley Head to Head:
The last time they met here in the league Burnley won 3-0.
Earlier in the season in the reverse fixture the clubs drew 1-1.
5 from the last 6 meetings has seen both teams to score.
Fulham vs Burnley Prediction:
We will back an entertaining game as Fulham really have to go for the win, and there is really very little between the teams. We expect an open game as it goes on because Burnley will be able to afford to take more risks and come forward.
On their day Fulham can be a good side and they need to show all of their qualities here to win this game. This game could go either way, therefore we will go for goals and also back both teams to score. If Fulham are to win then they will likely need to score a couple of goals at least. This will be very much like a cup final for the home side.
