Betting tips and summary for Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth

Bournemouth to win or draw – Great form and strong H2H record

Under 3.5 goals – Strong H2H trend

Ismaila Sarr to have over 0.5 shots on target – very strong recent trend

Two of the most in-form English Premier League teams will meet at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon, as Crystal Palace host Bournemouth.

A heartbreaking stoppage-time defeat away to Everton, in their last match, saw the hosts’ club-record 18 games unbeaten streak come to end.

Before Jack Grealish netted that 93rd minute winner, manager Oliver Glasner’s side hadn’t tasted a competitive defeat since losing 5-0 to Newcastle in mid April.

Two trophy wins at Wembley Stadium, in the FA Cup and FA Community Shield – as well as a win in the Europa Conference League – highlight their invincible streak, which has seen them climb to sixth in the English Premier League table.

The challenge of high-flying Bournemouth awaits, as their brilliant start to the season has seen them camped in fourth in the EPL standings.

Manager Andoni Iraola’s side looked very likely to secure a place in a UEFA competition following their form at the turn of the year. However, it wasn’t to be, and their challenge fell away.

But the Cherries have been resurgent so far this campaign, having only lost once – which was away to Liverpool, on the opening day of the season.

A Carabao Cup defeat to Brentford is their only blip since, as they look to extend their unbeaten run in the EPL to seven matches.

What are the best bets for Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth?

Bournemouth to win or draw

The Cherries will make the journey to the capital having not lost an English Premier League match since the opening day of the 2025/26 season.

They have also lost only one of the last five head-to-head matches when these teams have played each other.

Under 3.5 goals

None of Crystal Palace’s matches, so far this season, have seen more than three goals scored.

The same applies to each of the last five head-to-head matches between these clubs.

Ismaila Sarr to have over 0.5 shots on target

Sarr has netted four goals in six English Premier League appearances this season, with this selection landing in all but one of his appearances.
