Bournemouth v Fulham Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
The Friday night cameras head to the Vitality Stadium this weekend as Marco Silva’s Fulham visit the in-form Cherries.
Just three points separate these two sides in the Premier League standings, and both have pretty lofty expectations for another push towards the lower European spots come May.
Free Bets has taken a look at some of the best tips coming out of the south coast to kick off the weekend.
Bournemouth v Fulham Tips
Here are our three top football tips ahead of the game.
Tip 1: Bournemouth to win and BTTS
Fulham haven’t enjoyed their most recent trips to the Vitality Stadium.
Silva’s side have lost in their last three away meetings with Bournemouth, scoring just once and shipping six goals in return, but this isn’t an indication of the gulf between the two outfits.
Over the past two seasons (2023-24, 2024-25) there’s been only three points between Bournemouth and Fulham, underlining how well matched they have historically been when both are present in the Premier League.
But Bournemouth are a stronger home team than Fulham are an away team.
Despite losing all most of their back line this summer (Illia Zabarnyi to PSG, Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, Milos Kerkez to Liverpool and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to Arsenal), they’ve started the season positively, have registered wins over Brighton, Tottenham and Wolves and sit inside the top six.
Fulham may have to rely on Adama Traore leading the line following a weekend injury to Raul Jimenez, but they’ve scored in every Premier League game so far this season barring a controversial trip to Stamford Bridge — Josh King’s disallowed goal was subsequently admitted as a mistake by referee’s chief Howard Webb.
Tip 2: Antoine Semenyo to score first
A majority of Bournemouth’s best play tends to come via the magic feet of Antonie Semenyo.
The 25-year-old has scored four and assisted twice already this season and has caught the attention of a number of different clubs looking to acquire his future signature.
Semenyo’s strength on the ball and ability to beat his man provides a constant outlet for Andoni Iraola’s side and the Ghanaian has scored the Cherries’ first goal in a match twice already this season.
Throw into the mix the fact that he appears to be Bournemouth’s designated penalty taker and a first goalscorer pick for the winger looks good.
Tip 3: Sasa Lukic to be sent off
Alongside Brighton and Everton, Bournemouth and Fulham have received the most yellow cards so far this season without seeing a red.
Fulham’s midfield general Sasa Lukic is responsible for four of these yellow cards for the Cottagers, getting booked in four of their last five Premier League matches.
The Serbian is walking a tightrope at the moment and will have to watch his step as he attempts to deal with Bournemouth’s physicality and rapid counter-attacks.
A spicy Friday night contest under the lights could push him over the edge, and at 28/1 we’re willing to take that on.
