Bournemouth is looking to end a six-game losing streak in the Premier League as they host Fulham this Monday. “The Cherries,” with 45 points (12 wins, 9 draws, 10 losses), haven`t won in their last six league games, drawing two and losing four. “The Cottagers” have 48 points (13 wins, 9 draws, 9 losses) and are coming off a notable 3-2 victory against league leaders Liverpool. Their previous encounter ended in a 2-2 draw.
The match at Vitality Stadium is set to kick off. Bournemouth are favored, but Fulham, after their win against Liverpool, will be a tough opponent. Expert Brandt Sutton has provided his top picks and predictions for this game.
Over 2.5 Goals Expected
Sutton predicts over 2.5 goals in the match. He notes that their previous game had four goals, with both teams creating numerous scoring opportunities. Bournemouth had 16 shots, 9 on target, while Fulham had 11 shots and 52% possession.
Sutton highlights, “They drew 2-2 in their last match, and both teams have scored in each of Bournemouth`s last seven games in all competitions. Also, over 2.5 goals have been scored in Bournemouth`s past five and four of Fulham`s last five matches across all competitions.”
Fulham +0.5 Handicap Recommended
Sutton also suggests betting on Fulham with a +0.5 handicap. Bournemouth has struggled at home recently, losing their last four home league games. Fulham, however, has won away against teams like Chelsea, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest this season.
Sutton stated, “Fulham is coming off a 3-2 victory against Liverpool, and I believe they will get another positive result here. While Fulham has lost their last two away league games, they haven`t lost three in a row since December 2023. Considering Bournemouth’s four straight home losses, I’m backing Fulham on the road.”
