Fulham take on the visitors Burnley at the Craven Cottage in the 3rd tour of the Premier League. The match will be played in London on Sunday, August 26th.
Fulham are a new team to the Premier League this season and it`s too early to predict if they will compete for the highest places. The Cottagers have enhanced their squad a lot this summer with such players as Chambers, Seri, Schurrle and Mitrovic. The team has also played against strong opponents in the off-season but has scored very few goals in those matches. Now it is likely that the Lily Whites will only try to avoid relegation to the Championship this season considering how they played in the starting tours. The team conceded two goals from Crystal Palace and three goals from Tottenham Hotspur with only one goal scored. It is obvious that they have not achieved the teamwork yet.

Burnley started the official part of the season a long time ago. They have been pretty successful in the UEFA Europa League qualification rounds so far. Their current shape should be a lot better than the shape of Fulham. Last season the Clarets conceded one goal a match on average and were often successful in the games against the top clubs. Their defensive line has been one of the best in the whole league. However, the team conceded three goals from Huddersfield Town last tour and that was a scary sign.
The main goal for Burnley now is to go through to the Europa League group stage. However, they have not forgotten about the Premier League and have been trying to concede as little goals as possible. The Clarets lost only once in their last seven away matches and that loss was to Arsenal. It is likely that there will be only a few goals in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Fulham to score under 1.5 goals.
