Fulham vs AFC Bournemouth: Premier League preview, team news, stats & head-to-head

Fulham beat Bournemouth 3-1 in the last league meeting between the sides in February – only once have they won consecutive league games against the Cherries, doing the double over them in the 1931-32 Third Division South.

Bournemouth lost 3-1 in this exact fixture last season, having been unbeaten in their previous eight away league games against Fulham between 1993 and 2022.

Bournemouth have conceded 87 goals in their 41 Premier League away games against London sides, an average of 2.1 per game. Of all teams to have played 20+ such games in the competition, only Norwich (2.3) and Wigan (2.2) have a higher goals conceded per game average than the Cherries.

Fulham have won their final league game in the last two calendar years, beating Southampton 2-1 in 2022 and Arsenal by the same score in 2023. Only between 1911 and 1914 (4) have they won their final league game in more consecutive years.

Bournemouth have lost their final league game in five of the last six calendar years, including all four while in the Premier League in that run. The only exception was a 3-0 win against Cardiff in the Championship in 2021.

Fulham are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games (W2 D4), last having a longer run without defeat in the division between August and October 2010 (7 – W1 D6).

Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games (W4 D2), last having a longer run without defeat in the division between November and December 2023 (7 – W6 D1).

Bournemouth have won each of their last three Premier League away games, beating Manchester United 3-0 last time out. Only once have they won four in a row on the road in the top-flight, doing so in December last year with the third game being a 3-0 win at Manchester United.

Fulham have scored a league-high share 38% of their Premier League goals in the final 15 minutes of games this season (10/26), while Bournemouth rank second for this (10/27).

All four of Harry Wilson’s Premier League goals this season have been as a substitute. It’s also the joint-most Premier League goals a Fulham player has scored from the bench in a single campaign, level with Collins John in 2005-06.
