The European charge appears to have halted for Bournemouth in recent weeks, failing to win any of their last six Premier League matches, and exiting the FA Cup to Manchester City in the Quarter-Final stage. That being said, coming into this matchweek the Cherries sit just six points outside of the Premier League's top seven places, and will be able to take a step back in the right direction with a win against Fulham at the Vitality Stadium on Monday evening. The Cottagers find themselves sat just outside the Premier League's European places, and with their win against Champions-elect Liverpool still fresh in their memory, they'll fancy their chances to take advantage of a wounded Bournemouth side.
It's hard to size up Bournemouth based on their recent form, given the success of them in the first six months of the season, and therefore I am going to continue to take advantage of the prices on offer for the one thing that has remained constant throughout this barren spell for the home side. Bournemouth have committed at least thirteen fouls in seventeen of their last eighteen matches, and it's astounding to see that the Cherries are priced at even money to commit at least twelve fouls in this one. Andoni Iraola's side have committed an average of 13.83 fouls per game this season, and this rises to 14.72 per game when analysing the aforementioned eighteen games. It's hard to understand why the bookies are continuing to price these selections up as they are, but I am happy to exploit this whilst possible. To add further ammunition to this angle, Bournemouth committed sixteen fouls in the reverse fixture at Craven Cottage in late December.
