Bournemouth take on the visitors Fulham in the round 44 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, April 23rd at Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth).
Perhaps the away victory over Coventry City finally killed the intrigue in the fight for the second position in the Championship. Bournemouth will not give it up and, what is very important, the Cherries are in good shape and almost do not lose. The team, of course, is not without weaknesses, sometimes losing points with the mid-table teams, making mistakes with outsiders. In last four matches there is only one victory. It is still enough as direct competitors lose points, but against the backdrop of Fulham it is a little different. There is still an opportunity to compete for the first place, but I think the hosts are not thinking about it at all now.

Fulham can be congratulated on the return to the Premier League! Three goals against Preston in the first half with Mitrovic's double and the remaining matches turn into a formality. But the visitors will want to take the final first place. And in rivals are only “cherries”. Recent mediocre results can be explained with a five-match streak of matches on the road, but even in them Fulham scored. Will Mitrovic play is a big question. But is there really no one to score besides him? With an average scoring of 2.3 goals per game, da Silva's wards at least do not look like an outsider in the confrontation how the bookmakers represent it.
Perhaps Fulham are not motivated, but this fact still needs to be proven. One thing is surprising - bookmakers offer sky-high odds for two goals of the leader playing super productive football. This is where you really want to take the risk. And the "summer residents" have no burden of responsibility at all. No one will judge for defeat. West Bromwich and Bristol City scored the same amount of goals against Bournemouth in the last rounds. And even though the hosts have not conceded in three rounds after the duel with the Blackbirds, is it worth saying that it does not matter against such an opponent.
Prediction for the match: Fulham to score over 1.5 goals.
