Fulham draw no bet

Bournemouth have had an impressive campaign but the wheels are in danger of coming off for the Cherries, whose 2-2 draw with West Ham last week extended their winless run to six games in the Premier League.

In an ultra-competitive race for European places, this is a key game for both Andoni Iraola's men and the Cottagers.

Team news

Bournemouth are missing a few of their key attacking players through injury, with Enes Unal suffering a knee problem and Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier and Luis Sinisterra all needing late fitness tests if they are to feature in this clash.

Midfielder Ryan Christie is expected to miss the rest of the campaign with a groin issue.

For Fulham, Reiss Nelson is out with a long-term thigh injury while Harry Wilson is working his way back from an ankle complaint and could potentially feature for the first time since late January.

There have been over 2.5 goals in nine of Bournemouth's last 11 Premier League matches, while both teams have scored in their last seven outings in all competitions too.

Meetings between these two teams have tended to be high-scoring affairs with the last five all having produced three or more goals.

Fulham have registered six 2-1 wins in the league this season, and have now scored at least twice in 17 Premier League games this term.

Prediction

Fulham became just the second team to beat Liverpool in the Premier League this season last weekend and they could follow up against a Bournemouth team who seem to be running out of steam as the campaign nears its conclusion.

The Cherries look set to miss a number of their key attacking talents as their intense style of play seems to be catching up with them.

Only Aston Villa, Chelsea, Brighton, Arsenal and Liverpool have lost fewer games than Fulham this season, who are quietly having a very impressive campaign under Marco Silva.

The Cottagers could take advantage of the downturn in form of their hosts, who have now gone eight games without a win - in 90 minutes - in all competitions.

Take the stalemate out of the equation and side with Fulham to build on their win over Liverpool.
