Our next match prediction covers the Premier League clash between two in-form teams, Fulham and Bournemouth. Marco Silva’s Cottagers have gone six games unbeaten in the league, while Javier Irureta’s Cherries are also on a run of half-a-dozen games without defeat.
This will be the third league game in seven days for both teams over the busy festive period. However, their good form sees them riding high in the table with home-team Fulham eighth in the Premier League table, while Bournemouth has risen to a lofty sixth place. There is just a one-point gap between the two teams and out-of-form Manchester City splits them in the standings.
In the last six games between the two, there have been three drawn matches. With both these teams enjoying an excellent run in the Premier League of late, out-performing a number of so-called bigger teams, this promises to be an exciting clash this weekend at Craven Cottage between two of the unexpected clubs battling for a top-six spot.

Fulham - Bournemouth: Form Analysis
Fulham came into this game having recorded a rare victory away to local rivals Chelsea on Boxing Day. Harry Wilson and an injury-time winner from Rodrigo Muniz handed Fulham a stunning 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge.
The Cottagers have now lost just one of their last ten (W4, D5).
Unbeaten in the six league games they have played in December, they have drawn four of those matches away to Spurs (1-1) and Liverpool (2-2), and at home to Arsenal (1-1) and Southampton (0-0). Their two victories came at home to Brighton (3-1) and in their most recent fixture at Chelsea.
However, they have won just one of their last four at home, drawing the two most recent games played at Craven Cottage and their most recent defeat was a surprise 4-1 home defeat to Wolves.
Javier Irureta will be thrilled at the current form of his Bournemouth team. The Cherries occupy sixth spot in the table above the likes of Man City, Man Utd, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Brighton.
A run of four wins in six has catapulted Bournemouth into the top six.
That run includes three excellent victories on the road in succession. A 4-2 win at Wolves, followed by a 2-1 win at Ipswich and on Boxing Day, a 3-0 victory away to Manchester United.
Their home form sees a 1-0 win against Spurs followed by draws with West Ham (1-1) and most recently a 0-0 home draw with Crystal Palace.

Fulham & Bournemouth Squad Analysis
There is mixed news on the injury front for Fulham. Kenny Tete and Reiss Nelson are still some way from making a return and although Harrison Reed is close, he is more likely to come back from his knee injury in early to mid-January.
Midfielder Sander Berge seems certain to miss out with an ankle injury.
Defenders Calvin Bassey and Antonee Robinson are nursing knocks, though both could be fit enough to play against Bournemouth. Another positive is that attacking midfielder Emile Smith Rowe should be fit enough for selection against The Cherries.
Bournemouth boss Javier Irureta will be without a number of players, many of whom have longer-term injuries. Marcos Senesi and Julian Araujo are both likely out until March, while there is no time set for Marcus Tavernier’s return from a knee injury or Adam Smith’s from a muscle injury.
Alex Scott won’t be risked and along with Luis Sinisterra, he should be back in January.
Justin Kluivert misses this game through suspension.

Our Fulham vs Bournemouth Prediction
Our prediction for the Fulham vs. Bournemouth Premier League clash is: A Draw.
With both these teams very much in form over the last half-dozen games, picking a winner is tough when you consider all the data. Fulham's home record is solid, but they have drawn their last two played at Craven Cottage. Bournemouth are unbeaten in six, with two draws in their last three. As such, the odds on a draw that keeps both teams records intact looks a good price bet here.
Fulham vs Bournemouth Alternative Predictions
A Draw and Both Teams to Score.
Having already made the case for a draw above, our next prediction pairs that with both teams scoring. Fulham have scored in every game they have played this season, bar two. Bournemouth have notched 11 goals in their last four away games.
Both teams have found the net in 61% of Bournemouth's matches this season and 78% of Fulhams in the EPL.
Add to that four of Bournemouth's five drawn matches this season finishing 1-1, while five of Fulham's seven draws have also finished 1-1, and the odds look good that the game will end in a scoring draw.
