"Starting with the hosts, eventually snatching a last-gasp point away at Premier League newcomers Leeds last weekend, Bournemouth have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across England's elite. Now unbeaten in all of their previous five consecutive top-flight appearances on either side of September's international break, Andoni Iraola's men have their sights firmly set on booking an iconic European ticket this season."
"Yet to make a single appearance across any competition so far this season, Bournemouth will once again be without Turkish marksman Eyes Unal on Friday night. However, returning to first-team training over the past week, Lewis Cook could feature here. Enjoying a sensational run of form since opening up the new campaign and already notching four Premier League strikes, Antonie Semenyo will play a leading role in the final third."
Bournemouth are favored to win with best odds 20/21 at Olympusbet and can temporarily jump into second with a home victory over Fulham at the Vitality. Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches, collecting 11 points from those fixtures and targeting European qualification. The team suffered an EFL Cup exit to Brentford but have endured just one Premier League defeat at home since April. Eyes Unal remains unavailable, Lewis Cook has returned to training and could feature, Antonie Semenyo has four league goals, and Eli Junior Kroupi should receive more minutes. Fulham won consecutive matches after the international break but lost 3-1 to Aston Villa and need an immediate response.
