AFC Bournemouth Betting Preview
AFC Bournemouth comes into this game sitting in 19th place in the standings having picked up 24 points. On March 18th, AFC Bournemouth faced off against Aston Villa and they were defeated 3-0. They gave up a goal in the 7th minute, and couldn’t bounce back. The offense has been an issue this season for this team, and if they want to be in the Premier League next season, they need to start finding some offense. Marcus Tavernier, Junior Stanislas, and Illia Zabarnyi are all dealing with injuries and it doesn’t look like they are going to be able to go in this game. David Brooks is back with the team and could move into the starting lineup here, after being featured off the bench in the last game.
Fulham Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Fulham who sits in 9th place in the standings having picked up 39 points. In the last game, Fulham faced off against Manchester United in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and they were defeated 3-1. Aleksander Mitrovic actually scored the first goal in the 50th minute. The defense struggled though late and they gave up three goals after the 75th minute. Mitrovic and Willian are both suspended for this game, and not having both of those guys is a big loss for this team.
Shane’s Free Pick
Trusting AFC Bournemouth is a scary idea, but they have value in this game. Not having Mitrovic takes away a lot of the offense for Fulham, and they are going to really struggle in this game to get any quality scoring chances. It’s only going to take one goal for AFC Bournemouth to get the job done, and they are going to find it. Back AFC Bournemouth on the money line. I also like the under to cash.
