Bournemouth vs Fulham: Match Preview (Premier League, Round 7)
1. Team Overview
After six rounds, Bournemouth sit 6th in the Premier League table with 11 points from 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 defeat — their only loss coming in the opening round against reigning champions Liverpool. Since then, the Cherries have remained unbeaten, despite a major defensive overhaul in the summer window. Fulham, meanwhile, are 11th with 8 points (2 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats). In their last league outing, Bournemouth drew 2–2 away at Leeds, while Fulham fell 1–3 at Aston Villa, ending their three-match winning streak across all competitions.
2. Bournemouth’s Defensive Overhaul Still Holding Strong
Despite losing four of their five main defenders this summer, Bournemouth’s new recruits have quickly adapted, maintaining last season’s aggressive playing style. Fulham, known for their counter-attacking strength, will present a challenge, but Bournemouth’s recent form (unbeaten in their last five Premier League games) and home advantage make them strong favorites. The Cherries not only look capable of avoiding defeat but also have a solid chance of taking all three points.
3. Head-to-Head Record
Across their last six meetings, Bournemouth hold the edge with 3 wins, 2 draws, and just 1 defeat against Fulham.
4. Injury Updates
Bournemouth: Enes Ünal, Lewis Cook, Adam Smith
