Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth has continued to be the surprising cake this season under the guidance of Andoni Iraola as the Cherries have picked up a huge victory in their Premier League encounter. Andoni Iraola’s men added Manchester United to the bucket list of the top six teams they have beaten this season by picking up a crucial 3-0 win at Old Trafford for the second successive season last weekend. The Cherries are now unbeaten in their last five games, winning four and playing a draw. Heading into this match, Bournemouth are in fifth place, just three points behind the top four teams.
Bournemouth has become formidable at home this season, as they have recorded four wins from their last six league outings at the Vitality Stadium. The Cherries will now draw confidence, having already beaten Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur on their home soil. Andoni Iraola’s men have been good recently in the face of goal, as they have scored at least one goal in each of their last six home matches.
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace has endured a rough start under Oliver Glasner this season after failing to win any of the opening eight matches and will travel to the south coast after suffering two consecutive defeats to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup quarterfinal and in the Premier League. Last weekend, the Eagles were hammered 5-1 by title-chasing Arsenal at Selhurst Park, with Gabriel Jesus notching a brace in the match. Last weekend’s result has now left the Eagles four points above the relegation zone, as they currently sit 16th in the league standings with 16 points from 17 games.
Palace has been showing signs of improvement in their recent away games, having remained unbeaten in their last four league trip matches. Palace have won each of their last two league consecutive away matches with victories over Ipswich and Brighton. Oliver Glasner’s men have struggled defensively in their away games, having kept only one clean sheet in their last four games.
