Crystal Palace vs. Bournemouth preview

Crystal Palace are desperate to halt their alarming defensive slide after shipping ten goals across consecutive defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle, with Oliver Glasner needing a swift turnaround before next week's FA Cup semi-final showdown with Aston Villa at Wembley.

The Eagles' usually reliable home form – they've won their last four at Selhurst Park – faces a stern test from a Bournemouth side who have lost just one of their last ten Premier League away matches and who snapped their seven-game winless streak with a resilient 1-0 victory over Fulham on Monday.

Andoni Iraola's Cherries continue to impress with their underlying metrics suggesting they're actually performing at top-four level, sitting third in the expected points table despite residing eighth in the actual standings.

Brazilian forward Evanilson has returned from injury with impressive form, scoring four of Bournemouth's last five goals, while Palace will hope Eberechi Eze can bounce back after his costly penalty miss at Newcastle.

Palace have struggled against the Cherries recently, failing to win any of their last three meetings, with tight, low-scoring affairs being the norm when these sides clash – none of their previous eight encounters have produced more than 2.5 goals.

With Palace potentially distracted by their upcoming cup semi-final and Bournemouth showing genuine European ambitions, Saturday's clash could provide the perfect opportunity for the visitors to capitalize on the Eagles' defensive frailties.

Crystal Palace vs. Bournemouth betting tips

Bournemouth Draw No Bet (1/1)

Bournemouth @ Crystal Palace

Bournemouth enter this fixture with momentum after grinding out a 1-0 win over Fulham, giving them the edge against a Crystal Palace side in free fall.

Palace's confidence appears shattered following back-to-back five-goal drubbings at the hands of Manchester City and Newcastle.

The Eagles have struggled in this matchup recently, failing to beat Bournemouth in their last three encounters.

Andoni Iraola has instilled a resilient defensive structure in his Bournemouth side that should frustrate Palace's attackers.

The Cherries have shown greater consistency in recent weeks, making them worth backing with the safety net of a push if the match ends level.

Under 2.5 Goals (17/20)

Bournemouth @ Crystal Palace

Recent history strongly supports a low-scoring affair with none of the last eight meetings between these teams producing more than two goals.

Crystal Palace will likely prioritize defensive solidity after conceding ten goals in their last two outings.

Bournemouth have developed a more pragmatic approach under Iraola in recent weeks, focusing on defensive organization first.

The Cherries' 1-0 win over Fulham demonstrated their ability to grind out narrow victories rather than engaging in open contests.

With Palace looking to stop their defensive rot and Bournemouth finding success in tight matches, expect a cagey encounter at Selhurst Park.

Evanilson To Score Anytime (21/10)

Bournemouth @ Crystal Palace

The Brazilian striker has been in red-hot form recently, scoring four consecutive goals for Bournemouth before teammate Antoine Semenyo took the spotlight against Fulham.

Evanilson demonstrated his road prowess by netting twice in his last away appearance, suggesting he travels well.

Crystal Palace's defensive frailties have been brutally exposed in recent games, conceding ten goals in just two matches.

The striker's movement and finishing ability should create problems for a Palace backline desperately searching for confidence.

With service likely coming from Bournemouth's creative players against a vulnerable defense, Evanilson stands out as the most probable goalscorer in this fixture.
