Fulham vs Bournemouth Prediction and Betting Tips | October 15, 2022

Fulham will entertain Bournemouth at Craven Cottage in a mid-table Premier League clash on Saturday (October 15).

The Cottagers have lost consecutive league games to drop out of the top six. Bournemouth, meanwhile, are on a five-game unbeaten streak in the league, with their Leicester City home win being their third of the season.

Philip Billing and Ryan Christie scored in quick succession in the second half to overturn a one-goal deficit as the Cherries won 2-1. Fulham, meanwhile, fell 3-1 at local rivals West Ham United in their last outing.

Fixtures are coming in thick and fast ahead of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar next month. Both teams will look to pick up as many points as possible before club football takes a hiatus.

Fulham vs Bournemouth Prediction

Fulham are dealing with a few injury concerns. Willian and Layvin Kurzawa will miss the game, while there are doubts over star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic's availability. Nonetheless, they should hold their own, having lost just once at home.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are unbeaten in the league since their 9-0 drubbing againstf Liverpool in August and are unlikely to lose here. They are unbeaten in their last two away games, scoring twice, so should be hopeful of a positive outcome.

Given the recent history between the two teams and goalscoring form, a low-scoring draw could ensue.
