Bournemouth vs Fulham – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 26/12/2023

Bournemouth will host Fulham this Tuesday, starting the traditional marathon of English football games in the final stretch of the year.

Between Christmas and New Year, several Premier League games will take place and in this clash between Bournemouth and Fulham, we have teams that make up an intermediate zone of the league table.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth appears to be in 12th place with 22 points and managed to make a big leap in the league table, with a positive period of results.

The team now has a gap of 11 points behind the first team in the relegation zone, but they are 14 points below fifth-placed Manchester City, and fighting for a position in the top block is absolutely unfeasible.

Their campaign has 6 wins in 17 games, with 4 draws and 7 defeats, but the team has 3 consecutive victories, in addition to 6 unbeaten matches.

In this positive period for the competition, Bournemouth has 5 victories and the last ones in style, playing away from home.

They beat the powerful Manchester United at Old Trafford 3-0, and also as a visitor they beat Nottingham 3-2.

In that sequence, the team also beat Newcastle, another powerful team in the competition, at home 2-0.

They arrive with high confidence, although they’re not part of the elite group in the English league, but they certainly have a good chance against Fulham this Tuesday.

As home team, the team still has a weak campaign, as they only won twice in 8 games, but we cannot ignore the spectacular moment they are going through.

Fulham

Fulham is also placed in an intermediate zone, including a position below Bournemouth itself.

The team appears in 13th place with 21 points, and unlike its opponent this Tuesday, it is falling in the leaderboard.

Their campaign has 6 wins, 3 draws and 9 defeats, with 26 goals scored and 31 conceded.

In the last matches, they were defeated away from home by Newcastle 3-0, and at home to Burnley, the penultimate placed team, they suffered 2-0.

If your rival comes with high confidence, their morale is certainly low and they will also need to break a bad streak they are going through playing away from home.

Fulham have won just once in 9 away games, scored just 9 goals and are coming off 3 straight defeats.

Although Bournemouth is not a great team in the competition, it is on an absolutely positive streak, while Fulham is certainly a declining team that cannot perform well away from home.

Still, bookmakers understand that this game has a certain balance and therefore place high odds for both teams.

Conclusion:

Understanding a certain favoritism of the home team, I’ll bet on a handicap line that protects the stake in the event of a draw, believing that it will be very difficult for Fulham to win this game.
