How both teams go into Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth

Crystal Palace is picking up momentum at just the right time. Oliver Glasner’s side, who failed to win any of their opening eight Premier League contests this season (five losses and three draws), are unbeaten in five, winning four of those matches with the only blemish being a 1-1 draw at relegation-threatened Southampton. Sitting level with Liverpool in the form table when looking over the past five matchdays (both teams accumulating 13 points from 15 available), the Eagles have found themselves within touching distance of breaking into the top half. Since returning to English top-flight football in 2013, their best placement is 10th, achieved on two occasions under Alan Pardew (2014/15) and Glasner last season (2022/23). Right now they are two points behind ninth-place Bournemouth.

It’s starting to unravel for Bournemouth, who are still getting over their FA Cup quarter-final elimination. Between November 2024 and January 2025, they proved hard to beat, winning seven of their 11 league matches—including an emphatic 5-0 success over Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest—with the other four ending in draws. A 0-2 home loss to Premier League champions-elect Liverpool was quickly forgotten with a 3-1 success at south coast rivals Southampton, but the wheels soon came off. The Cherries, who at one point sat a point outside the top four, are currently enduring a six-game winless streak (four losses and two draws). It has dropped them to ninth and they are in danger of being dragged into the bottom half.
