Bournemouth have been excellent in the Premier League since the turn of the year, with a 3-2 home defeat by leaders Arsenal on 3 January their only loss so far in 2026.

The Cherries are on a club-best run of 15 unbeaten league games and they can keep that up when they visit goal-shy Fulham.

The Cottagers were affected by a sickness bug when they lost 3-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates last Saturday but their struggles in front of goal go back further than that and they have scored in just two of their last eight matches.

Bournemouth are leading the race to be best of the rest in the top flight in sixth place, six points behind the top five, while the Cottagers are still in the hunt for their first top-half finish in three seasons, as they sit four points behind Brentford in 11th place.

Team news

Sander Berge could return for Fulham after missing the defeat to Arsenal through illness.

Alex Iwobi (thigh), Ryan Sessegnon (thigh) and Kevin (toe) are likely to remain sidelined but Emile Smith Rowe should be available despite going off against the Gunners.

Bournemouth have reported no new injury issues but Lewis Cook (thigh), Justin Kluivert (knee) and Julio Soler (thigh) are set to remain out of action.

Prediction

Bournemouth's goal power proved crucial in their first league meeting with Fulham in October as they scored three times in the last 15 minutes to win 3-1 after the Cottagers had gone ahead at the Vitality Stadium.

And their attacking prowess could make the difference in the return match on Saturday too.

The Cherries are in fine form as manager Andoni Iraola nears the end of his stint with the south coast club, and there has been no slacking off in their performances with wins over Arsenal, Newcastle and Crystal Palace among their last four games.

Forwards Junior Kroupi, Rayan and Evanilson have been leading the way and the team's 11 goals scored in their last five matches have their fans believing that a first European campaign is within their reach.

In contrast, goals have been the major problem for Fulham of late. They have managed to win the only two games in which they have scored in their last eight outings, against Burnley and Aston Villa, but they have failed to find the net in all of their other recent matches.

The Cottagers were affected by illness in their camp before the Arsenal match, so will be hoping for a more energetic performance this time, but Bournemouth have won four of their last six league away games and could chalk up another valuable road success.
