Fulham vs AFC Bournemouth Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 05/09/26

2 of the Premier League’s many European hopefuls clash at Craven Cottage on Saturday, with 11th-placed Fulham hosting the team holding onto 6th, Bournemouth.  The Cottagers may be some way behind the Cherries in terms of places, but they are just 4 points behind them and know a win would get their European charge back on track.  However, Marco Silva’s side have struggled over the past few months, with only 8 Premier League teams taking fewer than their 20 points from their last 15 games, while Bournemouth’s form is trending in the polar direction.

Despite announcing he will be leaving at the end of the season, Andoni Iraola continues to get a tune out of a talented Cherries side, and only Manchester United (33) and Manchester City (30) have amassed more points than their 29 over their past 15 matches in England’s top flight.  Bournemouth are also the Premier League’s only unbeaten side in that time period, and their impressive streak is unlikely to be snapped in the capital, where they beat leaders Arsenal 2-1 just last month.  That victory is one of many standout results in a sensational run and wins over Newcastle, Liverpool and Everton, as well as Sunday’s 3-0 rout of Crystal Palace, suggest they have the quality to pick up 3 points at Craven Cottage.

Iraola would love to bow out from a brilliant Bournemouth spell by securing them European football for the first time, and there is the added motivation that Aston Villa’s surprise defeat to Tottenham means that the Champions League spots are only 6 points away.
