Fulham head into this one in unconvincing form, picking up just one win from their last five at Craven Cottage, while Bournemouth arrive unbeaten in four and looking every bit a top-half side pushing for a strong finish. The visitors have been the more consistent outfit and, sitting five places above their hosts, carry genuine momentum into this fixture.

The goal data is hard to ignore here. Both sides sit well above the league average for BTTS and Over 2.5 games, with Bournemouth's away matches producing those outcomes at 71 percent — notably higher than the Premier League norm. Fulham have also been generous at home, conceding an average of 1.2 per game, and Bournemouth's attacking output on the road has been healthy. Goals look likely from both ends.

The lone head-to-head meeting ended in Bournemouth's favour, and the overall picture here points to the visitors being undervalued. This shapes up as a closer contest than a mid-table home side versus a seventh-placed visitor might suggest — but the goal trends are where the real story lies.
