Fulham's broader sample reads 7 wins from 20, weighed down by eight losses. Their recent Premier League form has had some positives though, with away and home wins over Coventry and Hull City sitting alongside heavier defeats to Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

Neither team's overall record translates cleanly into reliable league form right now.

Comparative Team Statistics: Fulham vs Bournemouth

Bournemouth have had the upper hand recently

The most recent meeting in May finished 0-1 to Bournemouth away at Fulham, following a 3-1 Bournemouth win at home the previous October. Fulham's last win over Bournemouth in this set of results came back in December 2024, a 2-2 draw aside.

This head-to-head record stretches back across different divisions and seasons, so it's more a pattern than a guarantee, but Bournemouth's recent edge in this particular fixture stands out.

Both sides deep in a tricky run

Fulham sit 17th and Bournemouth 15th in the Premier League, with just a single point separating them after seven matches apiece.

Both have one win each so far, and the goal difference for each side is negative, which tells you results have been hard to come by at both ends of the pitch.

With so little between them in the table, this looks like a genuinely tight contest on paper.

Men to watch at both ends

Bournemouth's M. Tavernier has been their standout attacking presence lately, with three goals in his last five appearances, while Evanilson has chipped in with three assists over the same stretch.

T. Castagne x 2

Best scorers:

Best assist providers:

Penalty cards:

M. Tavernier x 2

On the discipline side, Fulham's T. Castagne and Bournemouth's A. Smith and Tavernier have all picked up a couple of yellow cards apiece recently, though that's a partial list rather than a full squad picture.

A genuinely hard one to call

Put the pieces together and you've got two teams close together in the table, both short on consistent form this season, but with Bournemouth holding a recent head-to-head advantage in this specific fixture.

None of that points clearly one way. Fulham's home form has been patchy rather than poor, and Bournemouth's away results have swung between heavy wins and heavy losses depending on the week.
