Fulham vs. Bournemouth Betting Analysis
Friday night football returns to the South Coast as Bournemouth hosts Fulham at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries are flying high and are unbeaten since their Premier League debut at Anfield. Last weekend, Andoni Iraola’s men achieved a gritty 2-2 draw at Leeds, where youngster Eli Junior Kroupi netted his first top-flight goal.
Fulham, however, is still to find form. The 3-1 loss to Aston Villa was the second away from home this campaign. The Cottagers have won just four away league games on the road this year, but two of them came against relegated Leicester and Southampton.
Marco Silva needs to deal with Raul Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz's injuries, potentially leaving him reliant on Adama Traore upfront.
Unbeaten at home since May, Bournemouth might just tip the balance.

Fulham vs. Bournemouth Picks, Parlay
Bournemouth was not at its usual best last weekend, but it managed to earn a 2-2 draw against Leeds at Elland Road in stoppage time.
However, the Cherries have looked strong at the Vitality Stadium, so we are backing the hosts to emerge victorious as part of our Bournemouth vs Fulham predictions.
Under Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth has gone from strength to strength. The underlying data illustrates just how good they’ve been. They had the third-most xPTS (expected points) in the Premier League last season, and currently sit fourth in the xPTS table.
The Cherries have picked up seven points from their three home league matches thus far, conceding just one goal in the process. Their defensive solidity is no fluke. Bournemouth has the third-best xGA (expected goals against) in the league, with only Arsenal and Newcastle conceding fewer quality chances.
Fulham has struggled on the road. It was beaten 3-1 by an Aston Villa side that had just one Premier League goal ahead of the clash. Marco Silva's team has failed to win any of their three away games this season.
When these teams went head-to-head at this ground last season, Bournemouth ran out 1-0 victors thanks to a first-minute goal from Antoine Semenyo. The Cherries have won their three home Premier League matches against Fulham in this decade, and will fancy their chances here.
