Home advantage gives Crystal Palace a higher rating over Bournemouth. However, the visitors are in better form and ready to leave Selhurst Park with points in hand.

Crystal Palace vs. Bournemouth match preview

After picking up 11 points in the first seven rounds of the Premier League, Crystal Palace have started to show signs of slowing down recently. It takes a lot of effort for Palace to collect five points in the last seven matches. 

Over the weekend, Palace held West Ham to a 1-1 draw. Roy Hodgson’s men trailed but got an equalizer through Odsonne Edouard’s strike in the second half.

 It’s hard to blame Palace for falling into a familiar position every season. It was a place in the middle of the table, far enough away to run out of hopes of qualifying for the European Cup, but far enough away to remain in the Premier League the following season.

At the moment, Palace is in 12th place on the table. The distance to the group holding the red light is up to 9 points. Roy Hodgson certainly doesn’t need to worry about the relegation race for a long time, thanks to this year’s Premier League trio of Luton, Burnley, and Sheffield United not posing any danger.

Palace host Bournemouth in this round, as they have won just four of their 18 games at Selhurst Park this season. The “Eagles” have won only 1 of the 6 games played at home this season. Palace also hasn’t won on Wednesday since 1993.

The palace’s forces are also having problems. Eberechi Eze picked up an ankle injury but has recovered and hopes to play against Bournemouth. However, Palace doctors indicated that the player needed to recover further and avoid aggravating the injury. Another Palace staple, midfielder Cheick Doucoure, is also injured. Other notable names to be absent are Jeffrey Schlupp, Rob Holding, and Dean Henderson.

On the other side of the line, Bournemouth have been in top form recently. The Cherries won absolute points in two consecutive Premier League matches against Newcastle and Sheffield United. Over the weekend, Bournemouth also led Aston Villa 2-1 until being conceded by Ollie Watkins in the 90th minute.

Dropping points on the winning edge has been Bournemouth’s problem this season. Only Burnley (14) have dropped points on the winning edge more than Bournemouth (13). However, 10 points in the last 5 Premier League games have helped Bournemouth get out of the red-light group and create a 6-point gap from the danger zone.

After a period of uplift, Bournemouth are likely to face disappointments in the next round. Three of Bournemouth’s next four matches were away games. This season, Bournemouth are the 2nd fewest away point earners in the Premier League (4). Only bottom team Sheffield United (20) has conceded more away goals than Bournemouth (18).

Bournemouth’s trips to London in recent years have also been full of storms. They have lost 12 of their last 16 trips to the English capital. Therefore, Andoni Iraola needs to fight resiliently to defend his 3-match unbeaten streak at the moment.

Crystal Palace vs. Bournemouth Special Preview

Both Crystal Palace and Bournemouth drew in their last Premier League match. The team above Palace is again in poor form and has won only one of the last six matches. Another reason to believe in a draw is that bottom-door side Bournemouth are brimming with confidence with a 3-game point streak in the Premier League.

Under 2.5 goals: The last five head-to-head matches between the two teams have all had fewer than 2.5 goals. Two of Palace’s last four Premier League games have also had fewer than 2.5 goals scored. Therefore, the next match is likely to be unexplosive, with few goals appearing.

The score is exactly 1-1: Both Palace and Bournemouth have scored in 4 of the last 5 matches in all competitions. Meanwhile, the last five head-to-head matches between the two clubs all ended with less than three goals scored. So a 1-1 score is very likely for this match.

Crystal Palace vs. Bournemouth result prediction: 1-1
