Fulham have 11 points to their name, going into this tie

Fulham will take a huge positive from their recent 3-1 win against West Ham United at London Stadium.

Also, Marco Silva knows that a run of four losses in six meetings for his Fulham side, is going to be a tough run of form to change. However that is exactly what he must try to deliver. Now they have 3 matches won, 4 games lost and 2 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in ninth place, with a total of 11 points having won three fixtures, drawn two games, and lost four meetings.

Good Attacking Performance

This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Aleksandar Mitrovic (6), Bobby Reid (2), and Joao Palhinha (2). Fulham have a very poor defensive record, having conceded 18 goals in their previous matches.

Fulham’s ever growing list of players missing due to injury or illness to be a concern for Marco Silva, ahead of this Saturday’s fixture against their opponents.

This season’s Premier League campaign, has so far seen Bournemouth achieve 12 points

With a win in their previous game, (2-1) against Leicester City, Bournemouth will likely be in a positive frame of mind.
