Bournemouth vs Fulham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 24/12/2023, 09:00  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

Bournemouth bihd for a fifth win in six Premier League games when hosting Fulham on Boxing Day. They are up to 11th in the table with the visitors a place and a point below them. Saturday saw the Cherries win 3-2 away at Nottingham Forest. All three of their goals were scored by in-form Dominic Solanke. Bournemouth didn't get their first Premier League win of the season until their last fixture in October when beating Burnley 2-1. Their next game was a 6-1 loss at Manchester City but they've hit form since then with four league wins out of five. Bournemouth have won two of their eight home league games this season. Those victories have come in recent months with successes against Burnley and Newcastle and were followed by a creditable draw against Aston Villa. Their most recent home league fixture saw them drawing 1-1 with Luton Town in the second half before the game was abandoned. 

Fulham have had good and bad results in the past week. A penalty shootout win at Everton took them into the Carabao Cup semi-finals. It's not gone so well in the Premier League though with a defeat at Newcastle being followed on Saturday by being beaten at home by Burnley. They are 12th in the table and will go above Bournemouth if winning this match. To do that though, the Cottagers need to improve their away record. Fulham have been struggling in their away Premier League fixtures this season. Only one of their nine games has been won.   Their last three Premier League away games have all ended in heavy defeats. Ten goals have been conceded in losses at Aston Villa, Liverpool and Newcastle United. Just one point has been earned from their last five away Premier League games and we tip Bournemouth to get a home win here.
