There is little separating Fulham and Bournemouth in the league standings coming into the latest round of matches in the Premier League. However, both will be looking to get back to winning ways after being held to draws in their previous two fixtures.
Premier League Preview
There will be intriguing Premier League action at Craven Cottage this weekend when Fulham welcome Bournemouth. Both sides will still need to pick up a few more victories before being mathematically secure from the threat of relegation this term, but both have been in poor form across their recent outings in the competition.
Fulham have been held to draws in each of their last two, while they have recorded just one win in their last five fixtures. The Cottagers could move up to 12th with a home win over the Cherries this weekend, but they could also drop a place if they are beaten at Craven Cottage. Fulham picked up a draw in their latest match in the competition, as they threw away a 2-0 advantage on the road against Burnley.
Bournemouth have stylishly moved clear of the relegation places after a positive run of form before the festive period. However, wins have been harder to achieve in recent weeks after going four without a victory in the Premier League. Still, they could move to within two points of the top half if they land victory on the road this weekend.
The Cherries could only play out a draw against Nottingham Forest in their latest match in the Premier League. They opened the scoring after just five minutes in that fixture, before Forest equalised in the 45th minute. This could be a perfect opportunity to get their season back on track this weekend.
Fulham vs Bournemouth Head to Head
Bournemouth have a positive record against the Cottagers in the Premier League after winning three of the last four meetings. Meanwhile, they have suffered just a single defeat in the last nine clashes across all competitions. Fulham’s only win over that period was picked up on the road in April 2019.
Fulham vs Bournemouth Prediction
Bournemouth’s excellent record in this fixture could be a trend worth following this weekend, as they have won each of their last two against the Cottagers in the Premier League. Therefore, we will be siding with the away side landing maximum points in the English top division on Saturday.
