Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Chelsea, Fulham will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Bournemouth in the Premier League round 19. The Cottagers have a chance to climb to the Europa League berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Bournemouth. Wales midfielder Harry Wilson should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the local derby, while former Arsenal man Emile Smith Rowe is a major doubt.
The Cherries, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, winning three while drawing two of their last five league matches. Bournemouth are likely to stick to their attacking style of play and given Fulham’s attacking potential at Craven Cottage, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting in London, Fulham recorded a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, who will be without suspended winger Justin Kluivert in Sunday’s clash.
Highlighted Player (Bernd Leno):
Bernd Leno is a German goalkeeper who plays for Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. The 190-cm-tall shoot-stopper started his career at the youth team of SV Germania Bietigheim and he played for VfB Stuttgart during his youth career as well.
After making 56 appearances for Stuttgart II from 2009 to 2011, Bernd Leno started playing for the first-team in the 2011/2012 season. Over the years Leno has established himself as a first-choice goalkeeper at BayArena outfit and he plays for Germany national team as well. The Bayer Leverkusen man made his debut for Germany on May, 29, 2012 in a 3-1 loss to Slovakia.
Bernd Leno represented die Mannschaft at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and it is well known that the Germans won the tournament in Russia. Leno was born in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany on March 5, 1992 and it has to be noted that his contract with Bayer Leverkusen should expire on June 30, 2020.
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.
