Match Preview
Bournemouth have effortlessly moved out of the relegation fight after picking up their form over recent weeks. The Cherries come into the busy period over Christmas after winning four of their last five. They also have a game in hand over many of their rivals, meaning that a top-half finish could be an attainable target this term.
Fulham will also come into this showdown in steady form. However, their winning sequence was ended on the road at Newcastle last weekend, meaning a response will be expected from the side on Boxing Day. The Cottagers could move into the top half of the standings with victories in both of their matches either side of Christmas.

Fulham’s recent league record against Bournemouth is extremely poor. The Cottagers have picked up just one win in the last 12 clashes between the sides. Their only victory came in the form of a 1-0 success in the Premier League in 2019. However, they are winless in their last four against the Cherries across the top two divisions in England.
Bournemouth landed a 2-1 victory in this exact fixture last term, which was their fourth win in the eight meetings between the sides since 2000. However, the draw could be an interesting selection to consider on Boxing Day, as three of the last four league meetings between the sides have ended level.
Bournemouth vs Fulham Prediction
Bournemouth don’t lose many fixtures against the Cottagers, and given their recent form, that looks like a trend that could continue on Boxing Day. Therefore, we will be siding with the Cherries picking up maximum points.
