Fulham vs. AFC Bournemouth 10/15/22 EPL Soccer Picks, Predictions, Odds

Fulham and AFC Bournemouth face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Craven Cottage. When these two teams faced off on April 23rd, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. 

Fulham comes into this game sitting in 9th place in the standings having picked up 11 points. Fulham has lost two games in a row and in each of the games the defense has really struggled. In the last game, Fulham was defeated 3-1 at the hands of West Ham. Andres Pereira opened up the team by scoring in the 5th minute with a goal. The defense couldn’t hold, though, and they ended up losing 3-1. Fulham finished the game with two shots and 49 percent of the possession. Aleksandar Mitrovic is currently dealing with a foot injury, and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to go in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is AFC Bournemouth who sit in 8th place in the standings having picked up 12 points. In the last game against Leicester City, AFC Bournemouth scored two goals and that was enough to win by a goal. AFC Bournemouth had four shots on goal and 44 percent of the possession. , Lloyd Kelly, David Brooks, and Junior Stanislas are all dealing with injuries and won’t be able to go in this game. Solanke scored in the last game, and he’s expected to get the start in this game. 

I’m skeptical if Mitrovic is going to be able to go in this game, and I think without him, Fulham is going to really struggle. AFC Bournemouth scored two goals in the last game, and they will score at least that here. Fulham won’t have enough offensive success and AFC Bournemouth will get the job done. Back AFC Bournemouth on the money line.
