Bournemouth vs Fulham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 31/03/2023, 02:00  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Bournemouth will continue with their push to avoid relegation when they welcome Fulham in their next Premier League outing. The two sides that finished in the top two in the Championship last season have had contrasting seasons this term. While Bournemouth are 19th with 24 points, Fulham will go into this game placed ninth on 39 points. Bournemouth are facing the danger of getting relegated back to the Championship after just a season, but a win here could lift them off the red zone. They are just a point below the safe zone and only need an improvement from their 3-0 loss to Aston Villa in the last game. They’ve actually lost three times in the last four matches, and in these losses, they’ve conceded at least three goals in each. They have two clean sheets in five matches and only failed to score once in the five games. At home, Brentford’s last game ended in a 1-0 win over Liverpool, handing them their first clean sheet in five at home, and also the first win in that run.

Fulham have the chance to qualify for Europe next season. However, they must improve on their recent form, and especially with mistakes like the case of their FA Cup match against Manchester United last time out. A calamitous period in the second half of that game saw Fulham move from 1-0 up to 3-0 down and with two men and their manager sent off. So they will go into this game without lead scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic and Willian while Marco Silva will also be forced to follow from the stands. It has been poor for them defensively in recent matches, conceding three times in each of the last three games. While they have only failed to score once in the last five matches, it will be curious to see how they handle the absence of two key attacking players – Willian and Mitrovic.
