Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace head-to-head statistics

Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace preview
This match will be played on 26/12/2024 at Vitality Stadium. Kick off will be at 15:00 GMT.
The Cherries flew into Christmas with a big win last time out, returning home from Old Trafford with all three points thanks to a rather decisive three-goal victory, keeping a clean sheet in the process.
For Andoni Iraola’s men, December has been an excellent month, yielding three wins and a draw, while the men from the south coast are now unbeaten in five Premier League games, four of which they’ve won. Such form means that those in attendance at Vitality Stadium on Boxing Day should be full of festive cheer.
Crystal Palace fans also have reason to be cheerful ahead of their trip to the south coast, despite that loss to Arsenal last time out.
Listen, the Eagles didn’t exactly soar against the Gunners at Selhurst Park last weekend, but they can be forgiven for coming unstuck against a very good side, while they had previously been in excellent form.
Before losing to Arsenal, twice in the space of three days, Oliver Glasner’s men were unbeaten in five, so they know that they can get results. Will they get one here?
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace betting tips
Just one player bet appeals ahead of this Boxing Day clash.
Ryan Christie to Receive a Card
Bournemouth midfield general Ryan Christie has been a key player for the Cherries this season, delivering the goods in a variety of ways, but he’s not exactly a player who treads carefully, while you could certainly say that he’s been fortunate to walk away without a booking on more than one occasion recently.
At odds of 4/1, the Scotsman looks a decent bet to get booked here. Let’s face it, Christie is Bournemouth’s most prolific player in terms of bookings, and he’s averaging 0.40 cards per 90 minutes. That stat alone makes odds of 4/1 look quite chunky.
The man who averages 1.75 fouls per 90 minutes is also likely to be up against two of the Palace players that draw the most fouls, and I’m really not sure odds of 4/1 reflect this accurately enough, so betting on the midfielder to pick up his sixth booking of the campaign is well worth doing.
