Key Tactical Insight
Fulham’s recent uptick in form is powered by their pressing structure, often led by Andreas Pereira and Sander Berge in midfield. With Alex Iwobi and Ryan Sessegnon exploiting wide channels and Rodrigo Muniz offering clinical finishing, Marco Silva’s men can exploit Bournemouth’s defensive vulnerabilities—especially on the flanks.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth’s high line continues to be exposed by pacey transitions. Their 4-2-3-1 relies heavily on Evanilson’s hold-up play and Dango Ouattara’s vertical runs. However, the backline lacks cohesion, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six league matches.

Conclusion
Fulham enter this matchup with superior form, a sharper attacking edge, and a more cohesive midfield structure. Bournemouth’s inability to hold leads and shaky defensive displays put them at a disadvantage despite home-field support. Fulham’s pressing game and transition play are likely to exploit Bournemouth’s weaknesses, making them the stronger pick for punters.
