Burnley hosts Fulham in round 17 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 17th at Turf Moor (Burnley)
In the last six rounds, Burnley beat Liverpool (0:1), Aston Villa (3:2), and Crystal Palace (0:3) and shared the points with Brighton (1:1). And the Clarets lost to Chelsea and Manchester City with the same 0:2 score. But those defeats were deserved. It is very difficult to defeat two more clubs from the top five of the Premier League standings after an unexpected victory over the reigning champion.

Fulham could not win in 12 rounds of the Premier League, having tied eight times and scoring only six goals during this segment. And the club scored more than one goal in only one of those matches (2:2 with West Bromwich). But any streak ends, and Fulham unexpectedly beat Everton on the road in the last round (0:2).
At the end of February this year, the teams played in the FA Cup 1/16 finals. The Clarets easily dealt with the Cottagers in London (0:3), thanks to two goals scored by Jay Rodriguez. Cup matches are a separate subject, so the information is rather for the general picture. On the eve of the meeting in the Premier League, it is difficult to give preference to any of the opponents. The ratio of goals scored and conceded is as follows - 17-29 for the Clarets versus 19-31 for the Cottagers. Truth be told, Fulham is eight points behind its opponents in the Premier League standings. And the London team gained only three victories (Burnley won seven times). Well, the current shape of the hosts will be the most important argument in their favor. Burnley held a good segment of the tournament, gaining 10 points in the last six meetings. But, as the recent match with Everton showed, the Cottagers are capable of creating a miracle. It is unlikely that they will be able to repeat their feat in the match with Burnley, but a draw is a quite possible option. Therefore, we will hedge out bets and choose the hosts’ victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to win with 0.0 handicap
