Fulham take on the visitors Burnley in the round 18 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 23rd at Craven Cottage (London).
In the previous round of the Premier League, Fulham's players suffered a harsh defeat, losing convincingly to Newcastle away (0-3). Now, they will exert all efforts to redeem themselves in front of their fans. Fortunately, everything aligns perfectly for this, as the match is at home, facing one of the main underdogs in the championship. It's worth noting that before the loss to Newcastle, Fulham secured three consecutive victories in the league. They triumphed in a thrilling match against Wolverhampton (3-2) and then comfortably defeated Nottingham Forest and West Ham United, both with a scoreline of 5-0. Oh, and I don't envy Burnley's footballers for facing the in-form London team...

Burnley objectively lags behind almost all Premier League teams in terms of squad quality and budget. Therefore, it's not surprising that the team is currently in the relegation zone alongside similarly weak squads like Sheffield United and Luton Town. Vincent Kompany is certainly putting in all the effort, but so far, the Belgian's endeavors have yielded little. In 17 league matches, Burnley suffered 13 defeats, and in the last ten rounds, they earned only four points, losing eight times. Four out of the five previous away matches for Burnley in the Premier League ended in defeats: against Brentford (0-3), Bournemouth (1-2), Arsenal (1-3), and VVX (0-1). Most likely, Fulham will soon join the list of teams that have inflicted defeats on Burnley.
In the last Premier League round, Burnley lost at home to the same Toffees (0-2). In the head-to-head confrontation between Fulham and Burnley, I consider Mark Silva's wards as favorites. Despite any possible circumstances that could hinder Londoners from winning, I don't think such an outcome is likely. The hosts are solid mid-tier performers in the Premier League, while the visitors are one of the league's worst teams both in terms of gameplay and results.
Prediction for the match: Fulham to win.
