Form & Statistics

Fulham enter this fixture sitting 11th in the Premier League table with 41 points from 27 matches, having won 12, drawn 5 and lost 10. The Cottagers have scored 40 goals while conceding 43, leaving them with a -3 goal difference. Their overall rating of 6.58 reflects a team performing solidly in mid-table, with an average of 12.2 shots per game and 52.9% possession.

Recent form has been mixed for Marco Silva’s side. Their last league outing saw them draw 0-0 away at Nottingham Forest on 15 March 2026, extending their winless run to seven Premier League matches. That Forest stalemate was their first clean sheet since 4 January, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities that have plagued their campaign. Fulham have drawn four of their last six matches across all competitions, including stalemates with Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea and Burnley already this season.

Burnley, meanwhile, find themselves in a perilous position at 19th with just 20 points from 30 matches (4 wins, 8 draws, 18 losses). The Clarets have managed only 32 goals while shipping 58, giving them a -26 goal difference. Their team rating of 6.47 is marginally lower than Fulham’s, with averages of 9.6 shots per game and 41.8% possession indicating they are frequently on the back foot.

Scott Parker’s side are winless in their last four league matches and have not tasted victory in 21 games since early November, picking up just 10 points in that dismal run. Their most recent outing was a 0-0 draw at home to Bournemouth on 14 March 2026, marking their fourth consecutive draw. Burnley have become draw specialists, with five of their last six matches ending level.

The data overwhelmingly points to another stalemate in what has become a familiar pattern between these sides. Both teams arrive in wretched form: Fulham winless in seven, Burnley with one win in 21. Their recent head-to-head record shows an extraordinary tendency to cancel each other out. With Burnley’s defensive organisation keeping games tight despite their league position, and Fulham’s poor finishing preventing them from capitalising on home advantage, a low-scoring draw appears the most probable outcome. Burnley’s desperation for points as they battle relegation may see them settle for a draw at Craven Cottage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is predicted to win Fulham vs Burnley and why?
A 1-1 draw is the most likely outcome based on comprehensive statistical analysis. Both teams arrive in dismal form: Fulham have not won in seven Premier League matches while Burnley have managed just one victory in their last 21 games. Their head-to-head record shows five draws in the last six meetings, and their earlier encounter this season finished 1-1. With Fulham averaging 12.2 shots per game but struggling to convert chances, and Burnley’s defensive setup proving difficult to break down despite their lowly league position, neither side appears capable of securing three points.
What is the head-to-head record between Fulham and Burnley?
The recent head-to-head record heavily favours draws and tight contests. Of the last six meetings, Fulham have won just once (2-1 on 1 March 2026), Burnley have won three times, and crucially there have been two draws including the most recent encounter on 21 February 2026 which ended 1-1. Other notable results include Burnley’s 1-2 away win at Craven Cottage on 5 October 2021 and a 0-0 stalemate on 10 May 2021. The pattern demonstrates these are typically low-scoring affairs with minimal separation between the sides.
What are the key attacking statistics for both teams?
Fulham have scored 40 goals in 27 Premier League matches (1.48 per game) with Harry Wilson their top scorer on 9 goals and Raul Jimenez contributing 8. They average 12.2 shots per game. Burnley have managed just 32 goals in 30 league games (1.07 per game), with Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming joint-top scorers on 7 goals each. Their shot average of 9.6 per game is significantly lower than Fulham’s, though both teams have shown an inability to consistently find the net in recent weeks.
What is the current league form and position of both teams?
Fulham sit 11th in the Premier League with 41 points from 27 matches (12 wins, 5 draws, 10 losses), maintaining a comfortable mid-table position despite their recent winless streak of seven matches. Their overall team rating of 6.58 and possession average of 52.9% indicate they are a solid if unspectacular side. Burnley occupy 19th place with just 20 points from 30 games (4 wins, 8 draws, 18 losses), deep in relegation trouble. Their team rating of 6.47 and possession average of 41.8% reflect a side struggling to compete, having picked up only 10 points from their last 21 league matches.
