Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 29/12/2022, 23:54  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are both coming from defeats in their last outings in the Premier League and as they close the year 2022, they will want to do it with three points in the bag. Bournemouth will welcome Palace at the Vitality Stadium, seeking to rise from their current placing, 14th with 16 points. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are 11th with 19 points. The hosts are looking to bounce back from two straight defeats, first a 1-0 loss to Newcastle United in the League Cup, then 2-0 to Chelsea in their most recent game, a league clash. Bournemouth have now lost three of their last five matches and their league form has deteriorated too. They come into this game with five losses in their last six league matches. In four of their last five league matches, Bournemouth have conceded two or more goals, though they’ve scored two or more in three of the last four matches in the league.

Crystal Palace come into this game looking to recover from their 3-0 loss at the hands of Fulham. They had two players sent off in that game – Tyrick Mitchell in the 34th minute then James Tomkins in the 57th. These two are thus suspended for the game and Patrick Vieira has to find options. That loss marked a second straight league game that Palace failed to score having earlier lost to Nottingham Forest 1-0. It was also their third loss in five league matches, and they’ve failed to score in those three losses, thus they don’t bring to this clash a very inspiring run. Their two wins in the last five league matches were against struggling sides – Southampton and West Ham, both with one-goal margins. Crystal Palace have failed to score in four of their last five away league matches, losing two and only managing two goals in the five games.
