Premier League Betting Preview: Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace

Eight-placed Bournemouth square off against Europa Conference League semi-finalists Crystal Palace at Vitality Stadium, with kick-off set for 09:00 on Sunday 3 May.

With the last head-to-head meeting ending in a draw and Bournemouth having drawn 16 of their last 34 Premier League games, we would not be surprised to see this clash finish all square.

However, with Crystal Palace in the midst of an Europa League semi-final, we will instead back them on the Asian Handicap. +1 means our stake is returned in the event of a one-goal defeat, while a full payout at -123 is secured if the Eagles win or draw.

Bournemouth, unbeaten in 14 Premier League matches, were held to a 2–2 draw at home by Leeds United at the Vitality Stadium last time out. The Dorset outfit boasted 60% possession and had seven shots on target, with Eli Junior Kroupi and Rayan scoring one goal apiece.

Crystal Palace suffered a 3–1 away defeat against Liverpool at Anfield last time out in the Premier League. The Eagles recorded seven shots on goal and had 47% possession, with Daniel Munoz finding the net.

On Thursday night, Palace beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3–1 in the first leg of their Europa Conference League semi-final at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana.

Head-to-Head Statistics

The past three games between Bournemouth and Palace have finished in a draw, with the last clash ending 3-3 at Selhurst Park. The past 10 H2H matches have resulted in four Palace wins, four draws and two Bournemouth victories.
