Burnley vs Fulham: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Burnley vs Fulham in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 17:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: Burnley vs Fulham

• Date: Saturday, 13 December 2025

• Kick-off: 17:30 GMT

• Venue: Turf Moor

Burnley's recent form has been tough, with five consecutive losses, but they'll be looking to turn things around at home. With a predicted 4-3-3 formation, they might find some attacking rhythm, especially with players like Lyle Foster and Jacob Bruun Larsen in attack. However, their defence has been leaky, and they'll need to tighten up at the back to stand a chance against a Fulham side that's had mixed results but can score goals.

Fulham, on the other hand, have shown they can be dangerous, with three wins in their last five games, including a thrilling 4-5 loss to Manchester City. Their predicted 4-2-3-1 setup should allow them to control the midfield and create chances for Raúl Jiménez. If they can exploit Burnley's defensive frailties, they could come away with a win, but they'll need to be wary of a potential Burnley resurgence.

Match Prediction: Burnley 1-2 Fulham

Burnley's recent form has been nothing short of a nightmare, with five straight losses. Their latest defeat was a 1-2 loss away to Newcastle United, and they've struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just two goals in those five games. This poor run of form could affect their confidence, but playing at home might give them the boost they need to turn things around.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-2 vs Newcastle United (A)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Crystal Palace (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Brentford (A)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Chelsea (H)
• Loss: 2-3 vs West Ham United (A)

Fulham have had a more mixed bag of results, with three wins and two losses in their last five games. Their most recent match was a thrilling 4-5 loss at home to Manchester City, showing they can score goals but also concede them. This form suggests they're capable of putting up a fight, and they'll be looking to capitalise on Burnley's struggles.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 4-5 vs Manchester City (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Tottenham Hotspur (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Sunderland (H)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Everton (A)
• Win: 3-0 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H)

The head-to-head record between Burnley and Fulham shows a slight edge for the Clarets, with Burnley winning three of the last five encounters and the other two ending in draws. The most recent match ended in a 2-2 draw, suggesting that both teams can score. However, Burnley have had the upper hand in recent meetings, winning the last two before the draw.

Burnley's predicted 4-3-3 formation should see them push forward with Jacob Bruun Larsen, Lyle Foster, and Armando Broja leading the attack. This setup could allow them to press high and create chances, but they'll need to be solid at the back with Kyle Walker and Maxime Estève anchoring the defence.

• Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Tete (DF), Bassey (DF), Andersen (DF), Sessegnon (DF), Lukić (MF), Berge (MF), Wilson (MF), Smith Rowe (MF), Iwobi (MF), Jiménez (AT)

Fulham's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation will likely see them control the midfield with Sasa Lukić and Sander Berge, while Alex Iwobi, Harry Wilson and Emile Smith Rowe provide creativity. This setup should allow them to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities for Raúl Jiménez up top.

• Foster vs Andersen: Lyle Foster's pace and movement will test Joachim Andersen's defensive skills.

• Ugochukwu vs Berge: Lesley Ugochukwu's midfield presence will be crucial in stopping Sander Berge's influence.

• Florentino (Burnley): Florentino's ability to control the midfield will be key for Burnley's chances.

• Jiménez (Fulham): Raúl Jiménez's goal-scoring prowess could be the difference for Fulham.
