Fulham vs Burnley Prediction 21 March 2026
🔊 Will Burnley make a decisive move towards Premier League survival? It's crucial for the visitors to start picking up points, as they trail 17th place by a significant 9 points with just eight matches remaining. Fulham have been inconsistent at home this season, but that doesn't mean Burnley won't face challenges in securing a win. Let's delve into what we can expect from this matchup.
Head-to-Head
📊 Burnley are far from an easy opponent for Fulham. The Cottagers have often struggled against the Clarets: since 2019, the teams have faced off seven times, with Fulham managing to secure a win only in their most recent encounter. Burnley claimed victory in four of those matches, while the other two ended in draws.
Head-to-head statistics Fulham - Burnley
Fulham Team Overview
Currently, the Londoners sit in 11th place in the Premier League, with room for significant movement in the standings. A loss could drop Fulham to 14th, while a victory might propel them to eighth.
Fulham have struggled in recent matches, failing to secure a win in their last three outings: defeats to West Ham (0-1) and Southampton (0-1), along with a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest. They narrowly avoided a third consecutive loss when N'Doye's goal was disallowed for offside. It's also worth noting that Fulham frequently concede at home; they haven't kept a clean sheet in their last eight home matches.

Burnley Team Overview
The entire season, the Clarets have been haunted by the looming threat of relegation. Currently, Burnley sit in 19th place with a total of 20 points. To climb to the crucial 17th spot, they need to overcome a 9-point deficit. It's a feasible task, but a daunting one for a team of their caliber.
It's been a while since Burnley celebrated a victory. Over their last five matches, the Clarets have failed to defeat their opponents across various competitions. They've been knocked out of the FA Cup, suffered two defeats in the Premier League, and settled for two draws. Their most notable recent game was against Bournemouth, where Burnley managed to create several scoring opportunities, recorded an xG of 1.40, and defended against 22 shots on their goal, yet ultimately settled for a 0-0 draw.

Latest news
Fulham
🎙 After the match against the Forest, London team's head coach Marco Silva praised his players' defensive performance. "The weather conditions influenced the game. The first half was balanced, and we clearly needed a goal to break the deadlock. Unfortunately, we couldn't capitalize on our set-piece opportunity. However, it's always positive when you can keep a clean sheet. We've really been missing that in recent matches."
❌ Fulham manage without major setbacks. The London side have no suspended players, with only Brazilian forward Kevin sidelined due to injury.
Burnley
🎙 Burnley defender Max Esteve after the match against Bournemouth: "Of course, we wanted to take all three points. We created plenty of chances to score and win, but Bournemouth had their opportunities too-it was an evenly matched game. It was disappointing not to win, but we kept a clean sheet for the first time in a while and picked up another point. However, we understand that we need to start winning now."
❌ It's clear that Burnley are hindered not only by a lack of discipline on the pitch but also by an unbalanced squad. In the previous match, a number of players were sidelined due to injuries: Tuanzebe, Amdouni, Roberts, Cullen, Beyer, and Tresor Ndayishimiye. Scott Parker faces significant selection challenges ahead of this game.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
Interestingly, in head-to-head clashes between Fulham and Burnley since 2016, they have never combined for more than four yellow cards. Fulham and their opponents have exceeded this total in six out of eight instances, while Burnley, on the other hand, have only twice ended matches with 5+ cards in their last 20 games.
The match will be officiated by the main referee Chris Kavanagh. His Premier League stats this season show an average of 3.73 warnings per game. Kavanagh is not known as the strictest referee, and his recent record backs this up-over his last 11 games, he has shown more than four yellow cards only twice. Therefore, it's unlikely we'll see four cards in this match. A good option is to bet on under 3.5 bookings.
⚽️ Goal Predictions
Fulham have been conceding quite a few goals this season-43 in 30 matches. Their home record isn't impressive either, averaging 1.2 goals per game. In their last five games, the Cottagers have conceded in four. Burnley, meanwhile, have the worst defensive record in the Premier League this season, with 58 goals conceded in 30 matches. On the road, the Clarets also allow the most goals-an average of 2.33 per game. In their last 10 meetings, Fulham and Burnley have both found the net in seven instances. We anticipate both teams will score in this match-both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Predictions
In eight out of their last 10 encounters, Fulham and Burnley have seen over 10 corners. This mark has also been surpassed in Fulham's last six consecutive home Premier League games. We expect the upcoming match to exceed over 9.5 corners. Burnley have delivered at least three corner kicks in their last five games, so they can certainly challenge the hosts in this aspect.
Editor's Prediction
To boost their morale for the season finale, Fulham need a win against the underdogs. The London side's defense is far from perfect, so Burnley are likely to capitalize on at least one scoring opportunity during the match. However, we expect the Cottagers to be aggressive in attack, playing with authority at home. It's crucial for them to break their winless streak in a spectacular fashion, and we're predicting a Fulham victory with a scoreline of 3-1.
That said, betting on the match outcome is quite risky here. We believe that opting for over 9.5 corners is a more optimal and likely bet to succeed. Both teams will certainly create dangerous chances near the opponent's goal, and the presence of low defensive blocks also supports a high corner count.
