Fulham vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
Fulham and Burnley are linked in this round of the FA Cup. On Sunday afternoon, these two teams will compete against each other in West London. Which of these two clubs will qualify at Craven Cottage for the next round of the most famous cup tournament in the world?
Fulham:
For both Fulham and Burnley, the FA Cup tournament is nothing more than a nice side effect. The priority of both teams clearly lies with the Premier League. For example, Fulham is currently under the relegation streak in that Premier League. The West Londoners have twelve points and are therefore in eighteenth place. Fulham really has to work in the coming months if it does not want to return to the Championship immediately. With the current team, it is certainly not impossible for Fulham to maintain themselves in the Premier League, but it will not be easy.
Last week proved that Fulham has a reasonable team. With Chelsea and Manchester United, two strong opponents came to visit The Cottagers. Fulham lost the duels with 0-1 and 1-2 respectively, but was not completely eliminated in both games. In the five games before that, Fulham also remained unbeaten and Scott Parker therefore sees an upward trend in his team. Fulham doesn’t even play that bad, but the fact that The Cottagers only managed to win one of their last nine official games says something again. The victory also came in the FA Cup against Queens Park Rangers (0-2 after extra time).
Burnley:
Burnley is two places higher than Fulham in the Premier League. The Clarets are in sixteenth place in the English top division and have collected seven points more than Fulham. Burnley is therefore not really in direct relegation need. Moreover, Burnley must also be able to play safely with this selection. Burnley’s current squad is comparable to last season’s when The Clarets finished in tenth place. A place in the left row may be a bit premature for Sean Dyche and his team this season, but a place above the relegation line should still succeed.
Burnley’s confidence also got a huge boost this week. Thursday evening, The Clarets had to visit Liverpool. The national champion has been unbeaten at Anfield for 68 league matches in a row. Burnley ended that series completely unexpectedly: it recorded a 0-1 win by a utilized penalty kick from Ashley Barnes in the 83rd minute. The only downside to the game at Liverpool was that Charlie Taylor was injured at Burnley and is therefore not there during the cup match against Fulham on Sunday afternoon. Dyche has a completely fit group at his disposal for the rest. Burnley’s 49-year-old manager will likely rotate a bit during this cup match.
