Bournemouth have shown relatively stable form recently, recording 3 wins, 3 losses, and 4 draws in their last 10 matches. In their most recent outings, they drew with Leeds United and Newcastle, while earlier securing victories against Brighton and Tottenham. Their home performances demonstrate a certain resilience. On the squad front, key players such as goalkeeper Petrovic, defenders Jiménez and Senesi are all available, but forward Enes Ünal remains sidelined with a cruciate ligament tear, which weakens their attacking options.
Fulham, on the other hand, have picked up 6 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws in their last 10 games, reflecting a higher win rate, though their opponents have varied in strength. In their latest match, they fell away to Aston Villa but previously beat Cambridge United, Brentford, and Leeds at home. Overall, their form is decent. Squad-wise, goalkeeper Leno and defenders Castagne and Bassey are fit to play, but Kenny Tete (knee injury) and Rodrigo Muniz (muscle injury) are ruled out, posing certain issues in both defense and attack.
In head-to-head meetings over the past year, Bournemouth won 1–0 at home and drew 2–2 away against Fulham, giving them a slight historical edge. Considering Bournemouth’s solid home form, relatively intact lineup, and recent strong showings against tough opponents, they appear to have the upper hand. Fulham, despite their good win percentage, often struggle on the road and have vulnerabilities in defense due to injuries. This match tilts toward a Bournemouth home win, with a likely scoreline of 1–0 or 2–1.
Prediction: Bournemouth Win
