Fulham vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting Tips (10 February)

Fulham are currently 13th in the Premier League and have a healthy 7-point lead over the relegation zone. The London team is therefore in a good position to avoid a decline this season. Be wary all the same because the Cottagers have been moving slowly for several weeks. Indeed, they have only pocketed one victory in the last 7 days, for 2 draws and 4 defeats. Fulham remains on 2 shares of the points conceded against the relegated: Everton at home 0-0 and Burnley away last weekend 2-2. Expected in the fight for maintenance this season, Bournemouth makes a good impression and occupies 12th place in the Premier League with 1 game less and 1 point ahead of their opponent of the day.

The Cherries worried all their fans at the start of the championship but then made a recovery in the standings thanks to a series of good results in November and December. However, they have been less visible in recent weeks. After losing to big names Tottenham 3-1 and Liverpool 0-4, Bournemouth shared the points with West Ham 1-1 and Nottingham Forest last weekend 1-1. In the FA Cup, Dominic Solanke's teammates recently defeated Swansea 5-0 and are therefore qualified for the round of 16.

Fulham remains diminished in the offensive sector with the withdrawal of starting striker Raul Jimenez (5 goals in PL). We also find in the infirmary the executive defender Diop and the interesting full-back passed by Lyon Kenny Tete. Finally, qualified for the CAN final with Nigeria, defender Bassey and midfielder Iwobi are still absent. Scorer last weekend, the essential Portuguese midfielder Joao Palhinha is available, as is playmaker Andreas Pereira (6 assists in PL).

Few changes were made during the winter transfer window. Only the promising attacking midfielder Luke Harris (18 years old, Exeter) left to seek playing time in League One while the Albanian striker Broja, who entered the game last weekend, was loaned by Chelsea.
