Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Odds
How both teams go into Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
Bournemouth started the season by securing only four wins from their first ten matches. However, they are now on a five-game unbeaten streak, with four wins and one draw, placing them in fifth position, just three points away from the Champions League spots. Notably, four of Bournemouth’s seven victories have come at home, including impressive wins against Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham, with two of those matches resulting in clean sheets.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace are slowly distancing themselves from the relegation zone. They began their 2024-25 campaign without a win in their first eight matches, suffering five defeats during that stretch. Since then, Palace have managed to bounce back, losing only one of their last eight games and recording three wins. They were unable to keep their form going though, losing 5-1 to Arsenal in their most recent fixture.
Bournemouth team news
Alex Scott and Luis Sinisterra look unlikely to make their return following their injuries. There is also currently no set return date for Marcus Tavernier, Julian Araujo, and Marcos Senesi.
Crystal Palace team news
Matheus França and Adam Wharton have been ruled out until the new year. Daniel Munoz returns from suspension for this match, while Eberechi Eze is rated 50/50 to return for this game.
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace head-to-head
Bournemouth aim to achieve a third consecutive win over Crystal Palace, something they last accomplished in 1929 when both teams were in Division Three (South).
