Fulham v Bournemouth Betting Tips [3 December 2021]

Fulham have failed to take advantage of Bournemouth’s slump in recent games to open up a gap at the top of the Championship and now the two are set to face off. Hosts Fulham are top with 43 points, one ahead of Bournemouth who are placed second. This will be the biggest game in the Championship as the league enters Round 21. Free scoring Fulham have in the last two matches been halted by lower placed sides, drawing 0-0 with bottom placed Derby before drawing 1-1 with 17th placed Preston North End. Now they have a tougher clash and the man leading Bournemouth knows them really well, having handled the team as late as last season. The hosts are unbeaten in nine matches, winning seven, and they have six clean sheets in the last eight matches. They’ve failed to score in just one of their last 10 matches and in the 10 home matches in the league this season, they have one loss only, and are unbeaten in the last six.

Things haven’t been going so well at Bournemouth and they should be happy to be just one point below Fulham at this stage. They have just one win in the last five matches and go to this game winless in the last three. Defensively, they haven’t been at their best, keeping one clean sheet only in five and having conceded two or more in three of the five. Both sides have scored in four of their last five matches and four of the five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. The visitors are winless in their last two away matches. At one point the best defensive side in the league, Bournemouth now have conceded the same number of goals as Fulham (16), while their goals tally is way below, having netted 13 less than Fulham’s 49.

The top two sides in the Championship face off in what will be the biggest match in this round. Fulham are favorites here, though they’ve had some slump in recent games. Bournemouth look short of confidence and their results in the last three games have proven it. The test against Fulham, with their in-form players, will be greater and the stakes are high in this game as both sides want to keep promotion in sight. Go for Fulham to win.
