Nineteenth-placed Bournemouth entertain ninth-placed Fulham at the Vitality Stadium as the two teams resume their Premier League campaign on Saturday (April 1) following the international break.
The hosts have lost three of their last four league games. Bournemouth beat Liverpool 1-0 at home early in March but fell to a 3-0 defeat at Aston Villa in their next outing.
Meanwhile, after a seven-game unbeaten run, Fulham have lost three games on the trot to drop to ninth place in the standings. Interestingly, just three points separate them from sixth-placed Liverpool.
Bournemouth will move out of the relegation zone with a win, while Fulham will drop out of the top ten if they do not take home all three points.

Bournemouth vs Fulham Prediction
The Cherries have struggled for consistency this season and have endured a poor run of form since the turn of the year. Since the resumption of the Premier League after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, they have lost the most games (8), scored the fewest goals (7) and won the fewest points (8).
Their poor run of form is expected to continue, as they're winless in three meetings against Fulham. They're also riding a two-game losing streak. There's nothing much to separate the two teams at the moment. As their previous meeting ended in a draw, another stalemate could ensue.
