Crystal Palace come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur last weekend in the Premier League. The only goal of the match was scored in the 45th minute and the Eagles could not find a way back into the game in the second half.
The defeat at Spurs means Crystal Palace have recorded only 1 win from their 4 most recent fixtures, all of which have been played in the Premier League. The victory came over West Ham United at home but Crystal Palace have lost at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Spurs and were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Everton.
Trends show in their last 8 home games in the Premier League, Crystal Palace have been undefeated on 7 occasions. However, they are finding it difficult to win matches and Crystal Palace are in an unfortunate period, having won just 2 of their last 11 home games in all competitions. Both teams have scored in 2 of Crystal Palace’s 3 most recent home fixtures.
Bournemouth make the trip to Selhurst Park having lost 3-1 at home to Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend. The Cherries conceded in the 9th minute but scored the equaliser just 12 minutes later. Into the second half and the game was edging close to finishing as a draw but Chelsea scored two goals inside the final 8 minutes to win.
The defeat against Chelsea means Bournemouth have won 4 of their last 6 Premier League fixtures. There have been wins over Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Southampton away plus a 4-1 home victory over Leeds United. The second defeat in their 6 most recent league games came at home against West Ham United and was a heavy 4-0 loss.
Trends show Bournemouth have won their last 3 away games in the Premier League. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 3 of their last 5 away Premier League fixtures.
Looking ahead to the team news and Crystal Palace will be without the injured trio of James Tomkins, Naouirou Ahamada, and James McArthur. They also have doubts over the fitness of Nathan Ferguson.
Bournemouth travel without the injured trio of Kieffer Moore, Marcus Tavernier, and Hamed Junior Traorè. Ryan Fredericks and Junior Stanislas could return to the squad following injury.
Both teams will be feeling comfortable with their position in the Premier League but will be determined to finish as high in the table as possible.
We expect to see both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals in this game. With Crystal Palace tough to beat at home, it could be the hosts who come out on top.
