Bournemouth vs Fulham: Top Two Betting Tips
Check out Football Whispers' Premier League predictions for Saturday's 15:00 kick-off between struggling Bournemouth and mid-table Fulham. Both of these teams suffered 3-0 defeats in their last league game and will be desperate to return to winning ways this weekend.
Contents
Both Teams to Score
Our first Bournemouth vs Fulham prediction is for both teams to score at the Vitality Stadium. Each of the last three league meetings between these two clubs have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, and we're predicting more of the same on Saturday. The Cherries have only failed to score in one of their last six league games while both teams have scored in three of Fulham's last five outings in league and cup, adding further weight to our prediction.
Over 2.5 Goals
Our second Bournemouth vs Fulham prediction regards the total goals scored during the 90-minutes. Three of the last six encounters between Bournemouth and Fulham have witnessed at least three goals scored, including their 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage back in October. Three of the host's last five matches and each of Fulham's last three outings have also produced over 2.5 goals, so you can see just why we're backing goals in this game.

Bournemouth vs Fulham Lineups
Bournemouth
The Cherries were away at Aston Villa in their last Premier League match before the international break. Goals from Luiz, Ramsey and Buendia wrapped up a comfortable 3-0 victory for the home side in the end, in what was a disappointing result for a Bournemouth side that had beaten Liverpool 1-0 in their previous match. Zabarnyi, Tavernier and Stanislas are all injury concerns for the hosts this weekend and will face late fitness tests.
Predicted Lineup – Neto (GK), Smith, Stephens, Senesi, Kelly, Rothwell, Lerma, Billing, Solanke, Anthony & Ouattara
Fulham
Fulham were dominated for the majority of their home game against Arsenal and could have lost by more than three goals to nil in truth. Gabriel broke the deadlock and Martinelli added a second shortly after but it was the third goal from Odegaard that settled the game right on the stroke of halftime. Fulham look set to be without the injured Kebano, Duffy and Kurawa this weekend while both Mitorivic and Willian are suspended.
Predicted Lineup – Leno (GK), Ream, Tete, Adarabioyo, Robinson, Lukić, Pereira, Reed, Solomon, De Cordova-Reid & Vinícius

Player to Watch: Philip Billing
Bournemouth's 26-year-old midfielder has enjoyed another successful season and the Cherries will need him to continue to chip in with goals if the club is to avoid relegation back to the Championship.
This weekend against a Fulham side that is missing two key attacking players in Willian and Mitrovic, Bournemouth must take their chances and secure all 3pts to keep any realistic hopes of survival alive.
Billing has put in some great performances for the Cherries this season and we've highlighted him as our player to watch as he is a potential match-winner for the hosts this weekend in what feels like a ‘must-win' fixture.
