Burnley vs Fulham form
Burnley had a decent start to the season. However, as they progressed further in their quest for survival, the Turf Moor side faced increasing difficulties and obstacles. The performances of Burnley and Leeds United are quite typical of newly promoted teams.
However, compared to the team at Elland Road, Burnley is showing less vitality. For the last six rounds, The Clarets have been mired in disappointment. Failing to earn a single point, Scott Parker's team is gradually falling behind the safety zone.
Before round 16, Burnley had fallen to second-to-last place, 5 points behind the nearest safe spot. If they don't quickly improve their form and results, Ugochukwu and his teammates could easily fall into the same trap as last season's newly promoted teams like Ipswich Town or Leicester City.
This weekend, hosting Fulham offers some hope of breaking their disastrous run of form. After all, their opponents aren't in great form and are only four places above them in the table. A draw or even a win is well within the reach of manager Scott Parker and his players.
Burnley themselves have a good track record against Fulham. In the last 10 encounters between the two sides, The Clarets have won 6, drawn 2, and lost only 2. Notably, in their last 7 home matches against the London visitors, the home team has remained undefeated (4 wins and 3 draws).
Statistics suggest certain concerns for Fulham. Marco Silva's team has just gone through a run of two winless matches, despite playing at home. Having to play away from their home ground, Craven Cottage, further increases the risk.
Fulham have not been a team known for showing resilience when playing away from home. In their 7 away matches this season, The Cottagers have only won 1, drawn 1, and lost 5, scoring 6 and conceding 14 goals. Their away record in the 2025/26 Premier League is the fifth-to-last.
Traveling to Turf Moor, Fulham are still considered to have a better chance of winning. However, the curse of not winning at this stadium for over two decades proves to be a difficult obstacle for Raul Jimenez and his teammates to overcome.
