Burnley FC vs Fulham FC, English Premier League 2025-26, Today Match Prediction

Burnley FC vs Fulham FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Burnley’s fight to escape the relegation zone rolls into matchweek 16 as they host Fulham in a crucial lower-table clash at Turf Moor. The visitors, comfortably above the drop for now, arrive with confidence after encouraging showings against Manchester City and Crystal Palace—and will be keen to build on that momentum.

Current Standings: Burnley sit second from bottom in 19th, while Fulham hold a safer 15th with 17 points. 

Head-to-Head Record: In their brief Premier League rivalry, Burnley have held the upper hand with three wins to Fulham’s two, while the other three meetings ended all square. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Burnley FC Preview

Burnley and Scott Parker are feeling the heat. As an automatically promoted side, they were expected to settle quickly, but of the three newcomers, the Clarets have had the toughest ride. 

While Leeds are upsetting big names and Sunderland are cruising in the top half, Burnley remain five points off safety and slide into this fixture after a sixth straight league loss—a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle, softened only by Zian Flemming’s stoppage-time strike. 

To make matters worse, Lucas Pires saw red, adding another setback to Parker’s growing list. The mood is bleak, and with points hard to come by even at Turf Moor, the pressure is only mounting.

Stats that matter 

1. Flemming became the first player to score in four consecutive away Premier League appearances for Burnley, interestingly he is yet to score in the league at home.
2. With 30 goals, Burnley have conceded the second highest number of goals by a team in the league this season.
3. Burnley have managed to win only twice in their last 14 games across competitions. 

Team News 

Lucas Pires’ red-card ban only deepens Scott Parker’s headaches. He’s already without Hannibal Mejbri for the same reason, and now Kyle Walker joins the absentee list through yellow-card suspension. Add an already crowded injury room featuring Axel Tuanzebe, Bashir Humphreys, Conor Roberts, and Jordan Beyer. 

Burnley Probable XI - Dubravka (GK);  M Esteve, Hartman, Ekdal, Sonne (Defenders); Josh Cullen, F. Luis, Ugochukwu (Midfielders);  Flemming, Foster, Broja (Forwards). 

Fulham FC Preview

It’s been a wild few weeks for Fulham. The Cottagers are finally finding rhythm, yet results continue to slip through their fingers—just like in the recent clash with Crystal Palace. Against a side sitting fifth, Marco Silva’s men looked set for a dramatic win when Smith Rowe struck late, only for VAR to rule it out. 

Instead, after dominating the ball with 62% possession and drawing level through Harry Wilson, they were stung three minutes from time and left empty-handed. Much like their thrilling 5-4 battle with Manchester City the week before, Fulham played well but walked away disappointed again.

The results haven’t always fallen their way, but context matters: three of Fulham’s last four games were against top-10 sides—and counting Tottenham at the time, they still came out with two wins and two losses. That’s a solid return. With their next three matches coming against teams in the bottom half, this is the perfect stretch for the Cottagers to cash in and turn performances into points.

Stats that matter 

1. Fulham have lost seven of their last 10 Premier League matches (W3), their joint-most in a 10-match stretch under head coach Silva.
2. The Cottagers have remained unbeaten in their last 11 Premier League fixtures against promoted sides (W6 D5).
3. Harry Wilson has been involved in a goal in each of his last three league matches (2 goals & 1 assist). 

Team News 

Fulham have few worries on the injury front, with only Antonee Robinson and Ryan Sessegnon sidelined. Both are expected back by mid-December, so Marco Silva’s squad remains largely intact for the upcoming clash.

Fulham Probable XI: Leno (GK); Tete, Andersen, Castagne, Bassey  ( Defenders) ; Berge, Iwobi, Smith Rowe (Midfielders); Wilson, Jimenez, Chukwueze (Forwards). 

BURNLEY FC vs FULHAM FC
Winning Prediction

Though these two sides haven’t met often in the Premier League, Burnley have historically owned this fixture at Turf Moor, remaining unbeaten in 29 matches across competitions and not losing to Fulham in the league since 2018. However, current form tells a different story. The Cottagers arrive with confidence after battling some of the league’s best, while Burnley continue to struggle for traction.
