Bournemouth v Fulham Betting Tips [1 April 2023]

Matchday 29 in the English Premier League sees relegation-threatened AFC Bournemouth desperate for three points when they host high-flying Fulham at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth currently find themselves sitting 19th in the table with a record of only six wins, six draws and 15 losses for a total of 24 points. However, their fortunes could change with a win in this match as the Cherries trail safety by only a single point. In fact, with only three points separating Bournemouth from 12th-place Crystal Palace, a victory in this match could see them rise as high as 14th-place depending on other results.  Their last match resulted in a 3-0 away loss to Aston Villa, the third loss in the last four matches for Bournemouth. During this time, the hosts have conceded a total of 10 goals while scoring only four. 

Fulham, on the other hand, find themselves battling for a potential spot in Europe as they sit ninth in the standings with a total of 39 points. Fulham’s record of 11 victories, six draws and 10 defeats has them trailing sixth-place Liverpool by only three points. It’s been a superb season by the Cottagers who were playing in the English Championship last year.vManager Marco Silva will be hoping his side can use this match against a relegation-zone opponent to get back to winning ways. Fulham has now failed to win in the previous three matches, all resulting in losses following the team’s 3-1 away defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup quarterfinal. Fulham have been a consistent side this season regardless of venue and have seen their away record come close to their record at Craven Cottage. Fulham have lost only six of their 13 away trips, winning five and drawing the remaining two.

The oddsmakers have Bournemouth as the favorites here which is a bit surprising given the overall form of both teams this season. The Cherries did defeat Liverpool 1-0 in their last home match and have been much better defensively at the Vitality Stadium this season. However, this price is simply too high to pass up on backing an excellent Fulham team that will be focusing on this game as an ideal bounce-back spot. The draw no bet at about even money is certainly an option but we’re going to go for the full value here and back the Cottagers to take the three points.
