Overview
Bournemouth has emerged as a bright candidate in the race to win tickets to the Champions League. However, the army of coach Andoni Iraola suddenly played in 2025.
Bournemouth currently experienced a series of 6 matches that did not know the smell of victory in the Premier League. If at home, Bournemouth also failed in the last 4 matches in Vitality. Just one more loss, they will break the record for 5 consecutive games at home in 2005.
In this series of disappointments, the defense is the weakness of Bournemouth, when conceding 11 goals after 6 matches. Compared to the achievement of only 29 goals after 25 previous matches in the Premier League, this figure is on alarm. Remember, Fulham's attacks all opened fire in the last 14 matches in the Premier League.
With Fulham, a 3-2 victory over Liverpool helped them shock their spirits after being removed from the FA Cup by Crystal Palace and defeated 1-2 against Arsenal. Besides, this match also helps Fulham hope to reach the top 7.
However, Fulham's biggest weakness is stability. They often have the results of winning and losing alternately in recent matches.
Not to mention, Fulham did not win all three times marching to Vitality, including the 0-3 defeat last season. Fulham's defense is not too sure, when they have received 42 goals in the Premier League this year.
Overall, Fulham is difficult to win 3 points on the pitch of Bournemouth, even if the home team has been in form recently.
Human resource situation
In this match, Fulham could not use Nelson because the player had not recovered. Meanwhile, Wilson's ability to play is unclear.
On the other side of the battle line, Kluivert, Tavernier and Sinisterra also fell into a situation like Wilson, and Christie and Unal were not healthy enough.
Expected squad:
Bournemouth: Kepa, Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez, Cook, Adams, Semenyo, Scott, Ouattara, Evanilson.
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Lukic, Sessegnon, Pereira, Iwobi, Muniz.
