The Premier League matchday 33 kicks off its action on Saturday at noon, with Crystal Palace set to welcome Bournemouth to Selhurst Park. Can Eagles get back to winning ways? Find out the match preview and prediction in the article below.
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace has been in incredible form of late, but will come into this weekend's games on the back of two heavy defeats in the Premier League. Last weekend, the Eagles were beaten 5-2 by Manchester City at Etihad Stadium before then being humbled 5-0 by Newcastle United at St. James Park on Wednesday night. Oliver Glasner’s side will be desperate to get back on track as they look to finish with a likely European spot. Currently, they sit 12th in the Premier League standings with 43 points from 32 games, five points behind the mid-table.
Oliver Glasner’s side will be glad to be back in action on their home soil, where they have won each of their three home games. The Eagles' defense has been consistently leaky, with nine of their last ten home games producing both teams scoring.
Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth has hit some poor runs of form in recent games, with the Cherries picking up only five points from their last eight Premier League games. Last weekend, Andoni Iraola’s side got back on their European spot track by claiming a narrow 1-0 victory over Fulham on their home soil, with the result ending an eight-match winless run in the Premier League. Earlier in the season, the Cherries were in solid form, having beaten all of the top five teams apart from Liverpool, and finishing inside the top eight could be enough for UEFA Europa Conference League qualification. Currently, they sit eighth in the Premier League standings with 32 points from 48 games, six points below the top six, with a handful of games remaining.
Andoni Iraola’s side is currently struggling with their road games, with the Cherries heading to Selhurst Park on the back of a three-game winless streak on the road. Each of their last four away games has produced both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals.
