Fixture: Bournemouth vs Fulham
Date: Monday 14 April 2025
Kick-off: 20:00 BST
Venue: The Vitality Stadium

This match promises to be an intriguing encounter, with both teams needing points for different reasons. Bournemouth will be desperate to end their home losing streak and keep their European hopes alive, while Fulham will look to capitalise on their recent away form to climb the table.

Expect an open game with both teams looking to attack. Bournemouth's injury concerns might hinder their ability to dominate possession, but their home advantage could still play a role. Fulham's recent performances suggest they can exploit any defensive frailties.

The Cottagers' recent form and fewer injury concerns might give them the edge in a closely contested match.

Match Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Fulham

Bournemouth's recent form has been poor, with their last five league matches yielding two draws and three losses.

The Cherries have struggled to find their rhythm, particularly at home, where they have lost their last four Premier League matches. This run of form has dented their European aspirations, and they will be eager to turn things around against Fulham.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Ipswich (H)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Brentford (H)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Tottenham (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Brighton (A)
  

Fulham, on the other hand, have shown a mix of results in their last five outings, with three wins and two losses.

The Cottagers have been more successful on the road, which bodes well for their trip to the Vitality Stadium. Their recent victory over Liverpool highlights their potential to challenge any team on their day.
