Fulham form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Craven Cottage as Fulham have scored 23 goals to get 23 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Championship are 7-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).

An away draw last time out for Fulham, facing Preston North End in a game that ended 1-1. Defender Tim Ream got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.32/10. Ream scored one goal and won 4 of 6 duels.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Derby County that ended 0-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fulham have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won seven times, drawn one and lost two.

The Fulham manager M. Saraiva da Silva has got the team scoring with 23 from 10 home games in the league. From these home matches, Fulham have conceded only 6 goals.

AFC Bournemouth form and stats

AFC Bournemouth's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed AFC Bournemouth collect 21 points from their 10 away matches in the Championship. 6 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).

Bournemouth's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Coventry City that finished 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against Coventry City after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager S. Parker needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Midfield player Jaidon Anthony was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.81/10. Anthony scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and had 37 successful passes (of 44 total).

A 1-1 draw at Millwall's stadium before that.

Bournemouth are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, zero draws and one defeat. From a total of two matches.

AFC Bournemouth are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 10 games (in the league). Bournemouth are tighter than a frog's bottom, as only 5 away goals have been conceded so far. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last four meetings between these participants: Fulham won one, AFC Bournemouth triumphed in three and we saw zero draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.
