Both still in with a shot of sneaking into the European places in the Premier League table, Bournemouth and Fulham conclude gameweek 32 with a Monday night fixture at the Vitality Stadium.
The Cherries have many wrongs to right on April 14, as their winless run in the top flight now stands at six matches following last weekend’s 2-2 draw with West Ham United at the London Stadium.
On the other hand, Marco Silva‘s men are riding as high as can be following their astounding 3-2 victory over champions-elect Liverpool, which took them three points clear of Bournemouth in the standings.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 40
Bournemouth wins: 15
Draws: 13
Fulham wins: 12
Not until 2018 did Bournemouth and Fulham finally meet in the top flight of English football, but the two clubs had contested plenty of lower-league meetings before then and have now crossed paths 40 times in all tournaments.
The head-to-head record is about as even as one might presume, as the Cherries have beaten the Cottagers 15 times down the years while suffering 12 defeats, and another 13 contests have ended in a share of the spoils.
However, success in this battle has been harder for both sides to come by in more recent times, as both Bournemouth and Fulham have only won two of their last eight meetings, with the other four finishing all square.
Andoni Iraola‘s men did show grit and determination at Craven Cottage in December 2024, though, fighting back from a goal down on two occasions to claim a 2-2 draw as Dango Ouattara struck a last-gasp leveller in the 89th minute.
The Cherries were also victorious against Fulham in both of their top-flight clashes in 2023, but Marco Silva’s side got the better of Bournemouth 3-1 at Craven Cottage in February 2024, where Rodrigo Muniz was at the double.
That victory is just one of two that Fulham have attained in their last 15 matches with Bournemouth, though, having endured a seven-match winless run against the South Coast side between 1997 and 2018, including a humiliating 5-1 home loss in the Championship in 2015.
In contrast, Fulham have to go all the way back to 1962 for the last time they beat Bournemouth by a four-goal margin, and the Cherries boast the biggest victory in this fixture to date, demolishing the Cottagers 5-0 in a 1929 Third Division South fixture.
