- Date: 2025-10-03

- Location: Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth, England
Game Overview
Bournemouth and Fulham meet in a Premier League fixture at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth are slight favorites, buoyed by strong recent form, superior home performances, and a positive historical record against Fulham. Fulham, while capable, have struggled in this matchup and enter as underdogs. Both teams show attacking intent, with expectations for goals from both sides based on recent statistics and head-to-head trends.
Key Factors to Consider
- Bournemouth are on a solid run: undefeated in their last five, averaging 2.5 goals scored and 1.17 conceded per game lately. They are especially strong at home, where they have a 67% win rate, allow only 0.33 goals per game, and rarely fail to score[4]. Fulham, meanwhile, are inconsistent and vulnerable defensively on the road.
- Bournemouth have won the last 50% of encounters, Fulham 17%, with 33% draws. Bournemouth have won 16 of 41 matches overall, indicating dominance in recent meetings[2][3]. Most games feature at least two goals and often both teams score.
- No major injury news reported for either side in current previews. Assume both teams are near full strength unless late updates change the situation.
- No significant external factors (weather, pitch, COVID, etc.) are anticipated. Home crowd advantage for Bournemouth is noteworthy, given their strong Vitality Stadium form.
- Bournemouth, under Andoni Iraola, are reportedly pushing for European competition and will be highly motivated. Fulham have struggled in this fixture and will need to reverse a negative trend[3].
