The Cherries emerged victorious when they last faced the Cottagers.

Bournemouth are all set to battle it out against Fulham FC in what is going to be the matchweek 7 fixture of the English Premier League 2025-26 season. This intense fixture will take place at the Vitality Stadium.

The Cherries will be at home for their upcoming league game, and they will be looking for yet another win. They are unbeaten in their last three PL matches and are ready to keep their form going. AFC Bournemouth were the better side when they last faced the Cottagers and will be keen on securing a similar result here.

Fulham FC faced a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa in their last Premier League fixture.
