Both Fulham and Bournemouth are eager to keep their league runs going, as they meet at Craven Cottage for the 19th round of the Premier League in a Sunday lunchtime showdown.

In their third season in the Premier League since winning promotion back, Fulham have presented themselves as one of the most pleasant surprises to date, and as a result, they can almost certainly relax when it comes to avoiding relegation. If they continue to post good performances, the Londoners might soon start harboring serious ambitions for UEFA football, as their impressive 28-point haul puts them in eighth, just one point shy of a European spot.

Returning to the English top flight in the same year as the Cottagers, Bournemouth have also made a big splash in the Premier League so far with their eye-catching results and continue to thrill their loyal supporters. Thanks to their consistent results since the start of the season, particularly their recent surge in form, the Cherries have managed to climb up the table and take a final European spot, now just four points behind the Champions League place held by Arsenal in fourth.

Fulham vs AFC Bournemouth Betting Tips: DRAW

Separated by just a single point in the standings, Fulham have an opportunity to grab the final European spot, but taking down a fired-up AFC Bournemouth will be anything but an easy task. However, since neither team will be willing to jeopardize their impressive momentum at any cost, it is expected that they will place a strong emphasis on defensive solidity and adopt a cautious strategy, which could ultimately result in a draw that satisfies both sides. 

Fulham's exceptional form deserves recognition, as they have not tasted defeat in any of their last six Premier League matches, a unbeaten run that includes holding title-chasing contenders Liverpool and Arsenal to well-earned draws. Reflectin the form of their weekend rivals, the Cherries have put togethr a six-game run without losing, but their last three games have seen them split the spoils on two occassions, including a lifeless scoreless stalemate with Crystal Palace last time around. Given their strong recent performances, we anticipate a well-planned and cautious clash, which leads us to believe that neither team will likely be able to create a decisive edge. a
