Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Bournemouth
Match Time & Date:
26/12/2023
07:00 AM
Prediction: 2-1
Fulham
Buoyed by a 3-2 win over ten-man Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Fulham on Boxing Day. The Cherries have been producing excellent displays in December and, as a result, the odds for home win are dropping. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Dominic Solanke, who scored a hat-trick in the last league match, while Max Aarons is a major doubt. Both Lewis Cook and Emiliano Marcondes should be fit for the match.
The Cottagers, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 defeat to Burnley and given their three-game losing run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the in-form hosts. Raul Jimenez has yet to serve his ban, while all Tim Ream, Adama Traore, and Tyrese Francois remain in the recovery room. Former Chelsea winger Willian should recover in time to face Bournemouth.
Highlighted Player (Willian):
Willian is a Brazilian football player who was born on 9 August, 1988 in Ribeirao Pires. After playing for Corinthians in the 2006/2007 season, in 2007 he joined Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk. The pacey winger won four Ukrainian Premier League trophies with the Miners, while clinching the UEFA Cup title in 2009 as well.
During his spell with Shakhtar, Willian was on Chelsea’s radar and in 2013 the chiefs of the Premier League club agreed a deal to sign the Brazilian ace for a fee of £30 million. Willian won the Premier League trophy with Chelsea in the 2014/2015 season and the following season he was named Chelsea Player of the year.
The 30-year-old winger has 38 caps for Brazil and he has netted six goals for the national team. Speaking of his personal life, Willian is married to Vanessa Martins, who gave birth to their twin daughters Valentina and Manuella.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
