Prediction: 1-0
Fulham
Burnley and Fulham face each other at Turf Moor in the first game of the year. The Clarets did well to beat Sheffield United in the relegation six-pointer on Matchday 16, with the team recording their third home win of the season. Burnley are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and it is no wonder the odds for their triumph have been dropping. The Cottagers, on the other hand, were not in action at the weekend as their clash against Tottenham was postponed due to the fierce of coronavirus spread.
The capital club have been struggling in the first half of the season, and seeing that Burnley have been impressive at home ground of late, we predict that Scott Parker’s men are going to return to London empty-handed. In their last meeting at Turf Moor Burnley recorded a 2-1 win over Fulham.
