Burnley vs Fulham Match Preview
Tournament – Premier League
Date – Saturday, February 3, 2024
Kick-off Time – 08:30 pm IST

Burnley have struggled to cope with the Premier League following their promotion last summer. They are 19th in the standings after 22 games, having won three, drawn three, and lost 16.
The Clarets have lost four of their last five games across competitions and drawn the other. They are also 19th in goals scored in the Premier League this season with 22. Vincent Kompany’s side appear set to return to the Championship next season.
Meanwhile, Fulham have been inconsistent so far this season and sit 12th in the standings. They have had some big results earlier this season but are also winless in their last five games across competitions, losing three.
They would look to overturn their form against a struggling Burnley side on Saturday.

Prediction
Burnley have been extremely poor this season but one of their only three Premier League wins this season came against Fulham. Vincent Kompany’s side don’t compromise on their expansive play style no matter the circumstances.
This could play into the hands of Fulham, who have some lethal forwards. Moreover, the Cottagers are looking to find some form themselves and will be desperate for three points.
Predicted Score: Burnley 1-3 Fulham
