Fulham vs Bournemouth Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Fulham vs Bournemouth: Who Will Win?

Fulham were one of the names in the relegation candidate hat at the start of the season as they have a reputation as being a bit of a yo-yo club. However, they have had an okay season so far and are looking at mid-table mediocrity alongside the likes of Chelsea, Wolves, and their opponents in this match, Bournemouth. They need to pick up their recent form though as 5 points from the last 18 is pretty poor and could see them dragged back down into the heat of the relegation battle.

After about ten rounds of matches, Bournemouth were looking like relegation fodder as they were struggling to score goals and were conceding goals like they were going out of business. However, they have turned things around drastically, and have climbed up to 12th in the EPL table. A win would see them sitting just one point behind Chelsea- they would have taken that at the start of the season, but nobody envisaged that Chelsea would be 11th after 23 games.

There is just a point separating these two teams in the table, and I do not think there will be much separating them out there on the pitch. Therefore, I am going to predict a draw between Fulham and Bournemouth, with the final score being 1-1.

💯 Fulham vs Bournemouth Match Odds

There are so many different football betting markets available at all of the best sports betting sites, but they have not all been created equally. Some are a lot more popular than others, and the three that I always like to consider are the match winner, over or under 2.5 goals, and both teams to score. In the tables below, you can find a mixture of established and new UK betting sites and the odds that they are offering for the three aforementioned markets.

Those who want to learn more about these quality bookies, such as the different free bets that are available, can do so by simply clicking on the logos in the table. By doing this, you will be taken to our in-depth reviews where you can find out everything that you need to know.

Fulham vs Bournemouth: Match Winner Odds

The bookmakers have Fulham as the ever-so-slight favourites to win this match, which can probably be put down to the fact that they have the home advantage. They have lost just three of their previous ten home games, while Bournemouth have suffered some heavy away defeats in recent times. What we can tell from the odds in the table below is that the bookies also think that there is a good chance that this match will end in a draw.

Team
Fulham	2.27	2.27	2.38	2.38	2.38
Draw	3.40	3.40	3.45	3.60	3.60
Bournemouth	2.80	2.80	2.85	2.80	2.85

Fulham vs Bournemouth: Both Teams To Score Odds

While the bookmakers are not entirely convinced as to the result of this match, they are pretty certain that both teams will be able to find the back of the net. They have only kept two clean sheets between them in their previous 12 league matches, so I can see why the bookmakers are expecting both teams to score. You can find the odds for this entertaining market in the table below:

Team
Yes	1.54	1.54	1.55	1.56	1.63
No	2.27	2.27	2.30	2.15	2.20

Fulham vs Bournemouth: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds

With regard to the over/under 2.5 goals market, the bookies go back to being a bit undecided as to what the outcome will be. They are currently favouring at least three goals to be scored in this match. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in just 57% of Fulham's home matches, so it is easy to see why the bookies are somewhat sitting on the proverbial fence. Below are the over/under 2.5 goals odds for this match:

Team
Over 2.5	1.67	1.67	1.70	1.70	1.76
Under 2.5	2.03	2.03	2.10	2.02	2.08

1️⃣Fulham Update

Teams usually aim for 40 points to assure Premier League safety, but I reckon 35 or 36 points might be enough to ensure another season in the top flight of English football. If this is the case, then Fulham will be looking for three to four wins as quickly as possible so that they can play the rest of the season with less stress on their shoulders.

I think they are too good to get relegated, but if they were to go on a small losing streak and others below them were to pick up some much-needed wins, then there is a chance that it might be a bit of squeaky bum time for those of a Fulham persuasion.

Does Marco Silva have many injuries to worry about ahead of this match against Bournemouth? The answer is yes, and to some key players as well. Below are the Fulham absentees for this clash:

2️⃣Bournemouth Update

About a third of the way through the season there would have been many Bournemouth fans wondering if Andoni Iraola was the right man to lead their beloved team. Now, they will have no doubts about his quality as he has found the correct formula and turned Bournemouth into a very tricky team to play against. They might not have the talent that other teams in the league can call upon, but they have heart and determination, which always counts for a lot.

Like Fulham, they will be looking to pick up three to four wins as quickly as possible so that they can spend the rest of the season playing with smiles on their faces and seeing how high up the table they can finish come May.

What injuries does Iraola have to contend with? Well, he also has some key players out, and their absentees can be seen in the following table:
