Key Stats
- Bournemouth have won 6 of their last 7 Premier League matches.

My exact correct score prediction is AFC Bournemouth 2 – 1 Fulham. Bournemouth’s momentum and confidence at home make them the favourites. Fulham’s struggles on the road are a significant concern, and while their attacking quality suggests they can get on the scoresheet, the Cherries’ relentless energy and current form should see them edge a competitive match.
