Following their win against Everton last time out, Fulham are looking to secure back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since April 2014.
Fulham caretaker boss Scott Parker believes now is the perfect time for the club to "get ahead of the game" in their preparations for a promotion push next season.
Parker has yet to learn whether he will be at the helm to try to tackle the challenges of an unrelenting Championship campaign head on next season.
The former Fulham midfielder, who replaced Claudio Ranieri in February, believes the rebuilding process needs to begin quickly to stay ahead of their promotion rivals.
Parker said: "I'll be beneficial for everyone to take this time to really focus, reassess and plan for next year [in the Championship].
It's going to be a big year, in a difficult league.
Now is an opportunity to get ahead of the game.
"The Everton win was a relief for everyone.
Performance-wise, at home, it was very, very pleasing.
"We're playing against a very good team [Bournemouth] with a first class manager.
It'll be a tough task for us, but we go into it with massive confidence after a strong performance."
Eddie Howe insists his Bournemouth players cannot afford to underestimate Fulham as they seek to make it back-to-back Premier League wins.
The south coast club banished any lingering fears of relegation by thrashing Brighton 5-0 last weekend.
The convincing win at the Amex Stadium moved the 12th-placed Cherries on to 41 points, five shy of their record Premier League points tally with four fixtures remaining.
"The target is to win the next game and we'll see from there what happens with the rest of the season," said Howe.
"We need to make sure we don't drop our levels.
"I would be very disappointed if we didn't see the same team in terms of endeavour, spirit and togetherness that we saw against Brighton. "
