Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 06/12/2023, 06:01  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

Crystal Palace are 12th in the Premier League but without a win in their last three matches. They host 16th placed Bournemouth who are unbeaten in their last three Premier League fixtures. Palace are only three points above their opponents but have a far better goal difference. The weekend saw them come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at West Ham. That was a welcome point after recent losses at home to Everton and then away at Luton Town. The Eagles are nine points above the bottom three and another mid-table finish looks likely for them. Home form for Crystal Palace this season has produced just the one league win at Selhurst Park. That was a 3-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers but since then they've gone drawn two and lost the last couple played. Both teams have been on the scoresheet in four of their last five matches and three of the last five at home.

Bournemouth continued their recent revival with a 2-2 home draw against Aston Villa on Sunday. The Cherries led twice in that game and only a 90th minute Ollie Watkins goal saved Villa a point. That draw extended Bournemouth's unbeaten run to three league games with seven points being earned. They'd beaten Newcastle United and Sheffield United to move away from the bottom three. They come into this match six points clear of the relegation zone. Away form has been a bit of a struggle with only four points from six games in the Premier League this season. Both teams have scored in all but one of their last seven games. We go for that stat to come up again on Wednesday.
