Bournemouth have had a good season but are now facing a rough patch, with their 2-2 draw against West Ham marking six games without a win in the Premier League.
In a highly competitive race for European qualification, this match is crucial for both Andoni Iraola's team and Fulham.
Team news
Bournemouth are dealing with injuries to key attacking players, with Enes Unal out due to a knee problem, while Justin Kluivert, Marcus Tavernier, and Luis Sinisterra will undergo late fitness assessments to determine their availability for the upcoming game.
Midfielder Ryan Christie is unlikely to feature again this season due to a groin injury.
On the other hand, Fulham will be without Reiss Nelson due to a long-term thigh injury, whereas Harry Wilson is working on recovering from an ankle issue and could make a comeback after being sidelined since late January.
The stats
Bournemouth has seen over 2.5 goals in nine of their last 11 Premier League matches, while both teams have scored in their previous seven games across all competitions.
Matches between these two sides have generally been high-scoring, with the last five encounters witnessing three or more goals.
Fulham has secured six 2-1 victories in the league this season and has scored at least twice in 17 Premier League games so far.
Prediction
Fulham recently caused an upset by becoming only the second team to defeat Liverpool in the Premier League this season. They could capitalize on this momentum against a Bournemouth side that seems to be fading as the season progresses.
The Cherries are expected to be without several key attacking players, and their intense style of play appears to be taking its toll.
Fulham has one of the lower numbers of losses in the league this season, trailing only Aston Villa, Chelsea, Brighton, Arsenal, and Liverpool, showcasing a quietly impressive campaign under Marco Silva.
Fulham may take advantage of Bournemouth's recent struggles, as the hosts have gone eight games without a victory in 90 minutes across all competitions.
Avoiding a draw, backing Fulham to continue their positive trend following the win against Liverpool could be the way to go.
