However, this was the first time during this streak that the team conceded more than one goal. Notably, Bournemouth has conceded just one goal at home in the current campaign, ranking among the best teams alongside Arsenal and Everton in this regard.

Match Prediction: Bournemouth vs. Fulham
Andoni Iraola's team has suffered only one defeat this season in the Premier League, which was away to Liverpool, while they perform confidently at home, rarely dropping points. In their last seven home league matches, Bournemouth has lost just once, winning four times during this period. However, the team does not excel in scoring, having failed to score more than one goal in 9 of their last 11 home Premier League games.
Fulham also struggles in attack; in their last nine away Premier League games, the team managed to score more than once only twice, and one of those matches was against last season's Premier League strugglers, Southampton. Furthermore, Fulham has shown poor away results, achieving just two wins in their last nine away league matches.
I believe Bournemouth will at least avoid defeat, and I do not expect a high-scoring affair. My prediction: 1X and Total under 3.5 goals
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
