When Hodgson rocked up at Selhurst Park following Patrick Vieira’s dismissal in mid-March it looked like a desperate gambit from the Palace hierarchy. But their decision to turn to a reliable face has paid dividends, with the Croydon-born coach claiming five results from his seven games in charge — and staving off the threat of relegation in the process.
Bournemouth’s decision to twist came a lot sooner than Palace — back in August to be exact — but their gamble, likewise, appears to have been vindicated with safety all but assured. It’s hard to tell how Bournemouth would have fared under Scott Parker, given how early he left, but O’Neil has been shrewd and methodical with his approach, claiming some big results along the way.

Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth match stats
One issue that has affected both of these clubs this season is a tendency to start games slow. Palace’s return of just 14 first-half goals is the second-worst in the Premier League this season — only Southampton have bagged fewer in the opening 45 minutes (13). Bournemouth, likewise, have struggled to get going early doors. A return of 17 goals in the first half doesn’t exactly tower above Palace’s weak total.
Compare that to the second half, though, and there’s a noticeable disparity. Both have notched at least 20 second-half strikes, with Palace bagging 21 — seven more than their first-half total — and Bournemouth hitting 20 on the dot. So, if events are rather tame in south London in that first half, don’t expect a similar pattern after the interval. These two clubs come alive after the break.
