Comments and predictions for Bournemouth vs Fulham: One goal difference

Latest Bournemouth vs Fulham team information

The majority of Bournemouth's squad are fit, with the exception of right-back Adam Smith who will be out until at least after the October international break.

Alex Jimenez is likely to continue at right-back in a back four alongside centre-backs Bafode Diakite and Marcos Senesi. In midfield, Tyler Adams and Alex Scott have been in impressive form.

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

For Fulham, the biggest concern is striker Raul Jimenez, who is still being assessed after feeling discomfort in his knee. His potential absence is a big blow as Rodrigo Muniz is also injured.

If Jimenez does not return in time, Adama Traore could be named in the starting line-up, especially after he was brought on in the 11th minute against Aston Villa.

Sander Berge is likely to partner Sasa Lukic in central midfield, with the duo tasked with supporting a defence consisting of Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey.

Latest football commentary on Bournemouth vs Fulham

While Bournemouth may have been disappointed to draw 2-2 with newcomers Leeds United last Saturday, they were fortunate to have taken a point, as from open play they only created 0.39 expected goals (xG).

Andoni Iraola's men's last three goals have all come from set pieces, and in their last five games in all competitions, they have only had two goals from open play.

Bournemouth's defence deserves credit as only four teams have faced fewer shots (59), and four of the seven goals conceded this season have come in the first round away at Liverpool.

Bournemouth's only defeat in the Premier League this season has come against the table-toppers. They have since won three and drawn two, although both draws have come in their last two games.

Fans also have reason to believe in home form, as in the last seven Premier League games at Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth have lost just one, won four and kept four clean sheets.

Fulham opened the scoring against Aston Villa in the third minute, but despite only conceding four shots in the box, they still suffered a sixth consecutive defeat to the Birmingham side.

Marco Silva's side have faced just 59 shots this season, and before the defeat to Villa they had conceded just three times in the Premier League.

Fulham lost 1-0 at Vitality in April and drew 2-2 at Craven Cottage in December 2024. Each of the previous four meetings between the sides has seen at least three goals scored.

If they win against Bournemouth, Fulham will have made it four wins from five, scoring five goals and conceding just one in that run.

Their most impressive performances have come at home, though, with Fulham yet to win any of their three away games this season, losing two of those, and having lost four of their last five away games of 2024-25.
