Bitesize Prediction: Fulham vs Bournemouth – 10/02/24

Competition: Premier League

Market: Bournemouth double chance

Odds: 3/5 @ 1xBet

Hoping to extend on their top-half charge this weekend, Bournemouth will travel to Craven Cottage when they meet Fulham on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, suffering a shock late collapse away at relegation scrappers Burnley last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate, Fulham have the feel of a squad seeking a recent boost. Crashing out of the EFL Cup last month following an action-packed 3-2 aggregate defeat against Liverpool, Marco Silva’s men are without a win from any of their previous six showdowns against Premier League opposition. Likewise, aside from a stunning 2-1 victory against title contenders Arsenal on New Year’s Eve, the former Everton boss has not seen his inconsistent squad claim another top-flight win since back on December 10th. Also enduring a three-match winless run at Craven Cottage, Fulham should also be concerned by their most recent meeting against Saturday’s guests. Completely blown away when they made the trip to the Vitality for their reverse Premier League battle on Boxing Day, Silva’s squad should face another tricky test when they return to west London here.

As for the visitors, while Bournemouth might have opened the 2023/24 campaign in the midst of a public struggle, the Cherries have come roaring back in some style. Skyrocketing their way up the Premier League table, many around the Vitality are now dreaming of the chance to book a stellar top-half finish. Although Andoni Iraola’s side might have been forced to settle for back-to-back 1-1 stalemates against Nottingham Forest and West Ham since opening February, Saturday’s guests have continued to receive a string of plaudits. Extending on their FA Cup adventure last month following a 5-0 romp against Championship outfit Swansea, Bournemouth have lost just a pair of their previous 13 appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to November 4th. Landing that routine 3-0 victory when they welcomed Fulham to the Vitality for their reverse Premier League battle on Boxing Day, we are predicting an away double chance for Iraola’s men this weekend.
