Match preview: Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth
Crystal Palace and Bournemouth meet at Selhurst Park for the 33rd round of the Premier League. In their previous encounter in this competition on 26 December 2024, the match ended in a goalless draw (0-0). Historical direct confrontations indicate a tight contest, with 1 draw and 2 wins for each side over the last 5 meetings. The home advantage could be significant, given the notable discrepancies in home and away performances for both teams.
Team analysis: Crystal Palace
The home side currently sits in 12th place, accumulating 43 points from 11 wins, 10 draws and 11 losses. Their penultimate match saw them defeated by Manchester City (5-2), followed by a heavy loss to Newcastle United (5-0). Interestingly, the team has achieved better results on the road, with 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their last 30 away matches, scoring 25 goals and conceding 17. In contrast, their home record shows 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, netting 21 goals while conceding 20. Over the last 10 home fixtures in the league, Crystal Palace has gathered 15 points from a possible 30, winning 4, drawing 3, and losing 3. Defensively, they’ve struggled, conceding in 7 of their last 10 matches, while their attack has maintained consistency, scoring in 9 of those fixtures. Of the 32 matches played, they managed to turn the score around only once after conceding the first goal in 15 instances.
Following their 5-0 defeat to Newcastle, Crystal Palace is expected to set up in a 3-4-3 formation, primarily exploiting the flanks in their attacking strategy. The forward line will likely feature Ismaila Sarr, Eberechi Eze, and Jean-Philippe Mateta, with the right side being strengthened by the adventurous runs of defender Daniel Muñoz. Unfortunately, the team will be without Maxence Lacroix, Cheick Doucouré, and Chadi Riyadh due to injuries.
Team analysis: Bournemouth
The visitors find themselves in 8th place with 48 points acquired via 13 wins, 9 draws, and 10 losses. Their previous match was a 2-2 draw against West Ham United, followed by a narrow 1-0 win against Fulham at home. Bournemouth has also performed better on the road, boasting a record of 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses away from home, scoring 30 goals and conceding 23, while their home record stands at 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses, with 21 scored and 15 conceded. In their last 10 away games in the league, Bournemouth has secured 19 points with a record of 5 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss. They frequently lead at halftime with a common score of 1-0 (6 times in 16 games). Their defence, however, has been vulnerable, conceding in 8 of their last 10 matches, although their attack has been productive, finding the net in 8 of those fixtures. Notably, 13 of their last 16 away matches in this competition saw more than 2.5 goals scored. In 32 matches overall, they conceded the first goal 15 times, managing to overturn the situation only twice. A significant trend has seen them score 12 out of their 32 goals in the final 15 minutes of matches.
Bournemouth enters this match buoyed by a 1-0 victory over Fulham, with the only goal being scored by Antoine Semenyo. The team typically adopts a 4-3-3 formation, favouring quick transitions and wide attacks. Up front, Dango Ouattara, Evanilson, and Antoine Semenyo will shoulder the primary scoring responsibilities, aiming to create continuous challenges for the opposing defence. The right flank is often exploited, taking advantage of Adam Smith’s attacking runs from defence. Ryan Christie, Luis Sinisterra, and Enes Ünal will miss out due to injuries.
