Bournemouth faces potential doom as the Premier League club who lost the most consecutive home matches in league history while preparing to host Fulham at the Vitality Stadium on Monday.
The Cherries suffered their ninth loss in gameweek 31 while drawing 2-2 with West Ham which enabled Fulham to surpass them by winning 3-2 against Liverpool.
The decline of Bournemouth since their top-flight aspirations has been emotionally difficult to oversee because their descent from Champions League potential to top-seven ability has happened rapidly.
Evanilson proved his scoring ability by scoring both first and last goals of Bournemouth's match against West Ham United as Andoni Iraola's team endured a six-match winless streak in the Premier League.
The Bournemouth team faces a scenario where their pursuit of FA Cup glory was finished by Manchester City which could result in a 2024-25 season conclusion with the club sitting in the bottom half of the Premier League standings and experiencing their worst ever home run in top-flight football.
Bournemouth faces an imminent fifth consecutive Premier League defeat at Vitality Stadium which would become their third such dominating losing sequence in history since 1996 and 2005 when they were in third tier English football.
Bournemouth's short-lived ambitions for European football received welcome news when the Premier League secured an additional spot through UEFA coefficients while the team continues to concede two goals during their last five matches across all competitions.
As Iraola's team struggles to demonstrate their European credentials, Fulham improved theirs last weekend by handily defeating Liverpool away from home in the Premier League after Alexis Mac Allister scored a spectacular goal at Craven Cottage through Ryan Sessegnon, Alex Iwobi, and Rodrigo Muniz.
After losing to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup and Arsenal in the Premier League in back-to-back London derbies, Marco Silva's team overcame the odds to defeat the champions-elect, bringing them within striking distance of the top seven. A late Luis Diaz response proved ineffective.
With a match against Aston Villa looming on May 3, Fulham control their own path to European qualification, yet their erratic form has kept them from cracking the top seven. They've been unable to string together wins, alternating between victories and defeats in their past seven Premier League outings.
History doesn’t favor Fulham heading into Monday’s clash after their stunning upset over Liverpool. Still, their knack for finding the net away from home offers hope—they’ve scored in all 14 of their Premier League road games since a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United on the season’s opening day.
That said, Fulham’s attack fizzled out in a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth at the Vitality last term, and they were undone late at Craven Cottage in December when Dango Ouattara’s 89th-minute strike secured a 2-2 draw for Iraola’s side.
