Fulham
In the previous round, Fulham secured a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa at home. This win ended a three-match winless streak in the Premier League (1 draw, 2 losses). Fulham has shown resilience at Craven Cottage, having lost only one of their last five home matches (3 wins, 1 draw). The team currently sits in the mid-table, aiming to climb higher with consistent performances.
- Fulham has scored in each of their last 7 home matches in the Premier League.
- The team has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last 5 home games.
- The number "2" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Fulham's last 6 home matches.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth suffered a 0-3 defeat against Manchester City in their last outing. This loss marked their third consecutive defeat in the Premier League. Despite a promising start to the season, Bournemouth has struggled in recent weeks, especially in away matches, where they have failed to score in their last three outings. The team is languishing in the bottom half of the table, desperately needing points to avoid relegation battles.
- Bournemouth has not won in regular time in their last four away matches in the Premier League (1 draw, 3 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Bournemouth's last 7 away games.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 5 of Bournemouth's last 7 away matches.
Fulham vs. Bournemouth: Match Prediction
Fulham has demonstrated strong form at home, leveraging their attacking prowess to secure crucial points. Bournemouth, on the other hand, has been struggling on the road, often failing to find the back of the net. Given Fulham's solid home performances and Bournemouth's away struggles, I anticipate a low-scoring affair. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
