AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham Preview

• Tournament: Premier League
• Venue: Vitality Stadium
• Date: 15th April

• Kick-off: 07:00 PM GMT

  AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham is set to take place on 15th April at the Vitality Stadium in a Premier League fixture. It is a bit difficult for Bournemouth to secure a top six finish nonetheless, they would want to secure at least a top half finish.

  Bournemouth have not finished in the top half of the Premier League since getting promoted in the 2022-2023 season and are doing very well this season. As of now, Bournemouth are in a poor patch since they are winless in their last six Premier League matches, drawing twice and losing four matches.

  They are currently in 10th place with 45 points, winning 12 games, drawing nine, and losing ten. Fulham, on the other hand, are one of the underrated teams in the top six race of the 2024-2025 Premier League season.

  They are currently in 8th place with 48 points, and a win will get them in the top six race since Newcastle have 53 points, Manchester City have 52, and Aston Villa have 51 points. Fulham have been decent in their last five matches, winning three games and losing two. A key factor to consider here is that Fulham will be coming into this match in sheer confidence after beating Liverpool 3-2 in their previous PL match recently.

Key Players To Watch In AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham

Evanilson (AFC Bournemouth)

The attacking ranks of Evanilson and Semenyo have stood out the most in AFC Bournemouth's team this season. The Brazilian international is a new arrival who was playing his trade at Porto FC last season, in which he scored 13 goals in 27 Liga Portugal matches and four goals in seven UCL matches.

As of the 2024-2025 season, Evanilson has scored nine goals and has four assists to his name in 24 Premier League appearances, including a brace against West Ham in their previous fixture.

Rodrigo Muniz (Fulham)

Yet another Brazilian forward who is a lethal threat and Rodrigo Muniz has proved his attacking prowess on various occasions. Rodrigo Muniz has already reached his last season's goal tally of nine goals in the 2024-2025 season.

As of now, Muniz has scored nine goals and has one assist to his name in 31 Premier League appearances this season. He is the most in-form attacker in Fulham's squad right now, with Muniz scoring a goal in each of his last three games, namely against big teams like Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

AFC Bournemouth vs Fulham Prediction

Although Bournemouth do have a decent record against Fulham especially in recent times, it is very likely that Fulham will tip the odds in their favour this time. Fulham are in better form and have beaten Tottenham, held their own against Arsenal in a 2-1 loss and beat Liverpool 3-2 in their last three fixtures. It will be a difficult encounter but Fulham are likely to get the win.

Prediction: AFC Bournemouth 1-2 Fulham
