Bournemouth Form
Fulham Form
Date: 03/10/2025
Kick-off time: 20:00
Venue: Dean Court, Bournemouth
Friday night lights on the south coast, and Bournemouth welcome Fulham in what should be a lively Premier League clash. The Cherries are sitting pretty in 6th with 11 points from six games, while Fulham are tucked into mid-table with eight.
Bournemouth haven’t lost at home this season, and they’ve made Dean Court a tough place to come. Fulham, though? Winless in their last five trips to Bournemouth. That’s not a great sign heading into this one. So, who’s getting the edge this time? Let’s dive in.
Bournemouth:
Andoni Iraola’s side are almost at full strength. The only long-term absentee is Enes Ünal, still sidelined with a knee injury. Good news though: Antoine Semenyo is flying after four goals and two assists already this season. Djordje Petrovic has settled quickly in goal, while Justin Kluivert and Evanilson are expected to feature.
Fulham:
Marco Silva has a few headaches. Raul Jimenez came off injured against Aston Villa, so Rodrigo Muniz should lead the line. Kenny Tete and Muniz himself are on the treatment table, while Alex Iwobi remains their main creative outlet with one goal and two assists so far. Adama Traore is pushing for more minutes, but consistency has been the issue.
Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Jiménez, Diakité, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Christie; Kluivert, Adli, Semenyo; Evanilson
Fulham (4-2-3-1): Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Sessegnon; Lukic, Berge; Wilson, Iwobi, Traore; Muniz
Five of the last six meetings have gone over 2.5 goals, and both teams have scored in four of them. Bournemouth love a home performance, and Fulham can nick a goal or two when their wingers get going.
Betting angles worth a look:
Bournemouth will try to set the tempo, and with Semenyo’s form, they’ve got the edge up front. Fulham’s away record is poor – one draw and two losses so far this season – and that 3-1 defeat to Villa last weekend shows they’re still searching for rhythm.
I reckon Fulham will get on the scoresheet, but Bournemouth’s home form and recent record in this fixture gives them the upper hand.
Match Prediction: Bournemouth to win. Bet with bet365.
If you’re looking for a specific scoreline, here’s what I’m leaning towards. Bournemouth are usually good for a couple at home, and with Semenyo in this kind of form, you’d back him to grab one. Fulham tend to create enough chances to get on the board, but they don’t look like a side ready to put three past anyone right now.
Correct Score Prediction: Bournemouth 2-1 Fulham. Bet with bet365.
The history between these two screams goals. Average of more than three goals per game in their last six meetings. But here’s the twist: Bournemouth actually see under 2.5 goals in 70% of their games overall. Fulham, meanwhile, keep things tight away, conceding under one per match.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a combo I like for this one:
That’s your Friday night football special, and it covers the big storylines I see playing out.
Bet Builder Tip: Bournemouth to win, BTTS Yes, Over 2.5 Goals, Semenyo anytime scorer. Bet with bet365.
