Bournemouth vs Fulham Prediction: One-goal difference

Latest team news for Bournemouth vs Fulham

Most of the Bournemouth squad are fit, with the exception of right-back Adam Smith, who will be absent at least until after the October international break.

Alex Jimenez is likely to continue playing right-back in the four-man defense alongside centre-backs Bafode Diakite and Marcos Senesi. In midfield, Tyler Adams and Alex Scott are showing impressive form.

Striker Evanilson will start in attack, especially since Enes Unal is suffering from a serious knee ligament injury.

On Fulham's side, the biggest concern is the fitness of striker Raul Jimenez, who is still being assessed after experiencing discomfort in his knee. His potential absence is a major blow as Rodrigo Muniz is also injured.

If Jimenez is unable to return in time, Adama Traore could be named in the starting lineup, especially after his 11th-minute appearance against Aston Villa.

Sander Berge is likely to partner Sasa Lukic in central midfield, with the duo tasked with supporting the defense, which will consist of Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey.

Latest predicted lineups for Bournemouth vs Fulham

Bournemouth:

Petrovic; Jimenez, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Semenyo, Tavernier, Brooks; Evanilson

Fulham:

Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Lukic, Berge; Wilson, King, Iwobi; Traore

Latest football match prediction: Bournemouth vs Fulham

Although Bournemouth may have been disappointed with a 2-2 draw against newly promoted Leeds United last Saturday, they were actually fortunate to secure a point, as their expected goals (xG) from open play only amounted to a mere 0.39.

Andoni Iraola's team's last three goals have all come from set pieces, and in their last five matches across all competitions, they have only scored two goals from open play.

Bournemouth's defense deserves praise as only four teams have faced fewer shots (59), and four of their seven goals conceded this season have come in the first round when they visit Liverpool.

Bournemouth's only defeat in the Premier League this season was against the league leaders. They have since won three and drawn two, although both draws came in their last two matches.

Fans also have reason to be confident in their home form, as in their last seven Premier League matches at Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth have only lost one, won four, and kept four clean sheets.

Fulham opened the scoring against Aston Villa in the 3rd minute, but despite only conceding four shots inside the box, they suffered their sixth consecutive defeat against the Birmingham side.

Marco Silva's side have only faced 59 shots since the start of the season, and before the defeat to Villa, they had only conceded three goals in the Premier League.

Fulham previously lost 0-1 at Vitality Stadium in April and drew 2-2 at Craven Cottage in December 2024. In their four previous meetings, each match saw at least three goals scored.

If Fulham win against Bournemouth, they will have four wins in five matches, scoring five goals and conceding only one in that run.

However, their most impressive performances have mostly come at home. Fulham have yet to win in their three away games this season, losing two of them, and have lost four of their last five away games of the 2024-25 season.
