The competitive action in the Premier League continues in midweek, as there will be an interesting showdown at the Vitality Stadium between Bournemouth and Crystal Palace. The home team will be looking to claim a third straight victory in the competition.
Premier League Preview
It has been a strong campaign to this point for Bournemouth, as they have easily moved clear of the relegation spots in recent months. The Cherries come into this latest round of matches sitting in 13th, and they could climb to within striking distance of the top half of the standings if they are able to claim a home victory against Crystal Palace on Tuesday.
There will still likely be doubts surrounding the Eagles, as they aren’t completely clear of the drop zone at this stage. Palace come into this midweek round of matches sitting 14th, but they hold a comfortable eight-point advantage over the bottom three spots. But, the Eagles have won just once across their last five matches, and have played out draws in each of their previous two.
There could be a clear case to be made for the Cherries this week, as they have impressed in midweek matches in the Premier League over recent seasons. Bournemouth have landed four wins in their last five midweek matches, which is as many victories as they had recorded in their previous 26. They also come into this match after netting at least twice in all of their ten victories this term.
Palace landed a 3-2 win over Sheffield United in their latest midweek match in the Premier League. However, they haven’t recorded back-to-back victories in midweek fixtures since December 2019.
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Head to Head
Bournemouth ended a five-game winless run against the Eagles by landing a 2-0 success in the reverse clash between the sides this term. However, Palace have recorded victories in three of their last five away matches against their rivals.
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Bournemouth’s recent form in the Premier League is incredibly challenging to overlook when assessing their chances this week. Therefore, we will be siding with the Cherries to land maximum points to edge nearer to the top half of the standings.
