Bournemouth v Crystal Palace

Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Preview

Bournemouth picked up a third win in four games on Saturday when The Cherries registered a 2-1 home win against Everton which saw the hosts resume the Premier League season with all three points following the international break, while Crystal Palace shared a point with Nottingham Forest with a 1-1 draw at the City Ground which resulted in The Eagles remaining in 14th place in the English top flight.

Bournemouth had previously picked up wins against Burnley and Luton Town with 2-0 and 4-3 wins respectively along with picking up a point in a 2-2 draw at home with Sheffield United so the south coast club will be in confident mood ahead of Tuesday night's clash with Crystal Palace at their Vitality Stadium.

Previous results had been disappointing for Andoni Iraola's side as The Cherries had failed to win any of their preceding seven games overall which consisted of three draws but also four defeats which included being handed losses at the hands of Tottenham, Liverpool, Fulham and Manchester City which had been a tough run of fixtures for the hosts as they had faced three of the top five clubs within this sequence.

Bournemouth have performed pretty well on home soil though in recent times as the south coast club have lost just twice in their last 10 games at the Vitality Stadium, picking up five wins in the process.

Crystal Palace were involved in a second draw on the trot on Saturday when the London club drew 1-1 away from home at Nottingham Forest which followed a 1-1 draw at home with Luton Town and these two recent results either side of the international break have helped Palace avoid being sucked down into the relegation battle below them.

However, Oliver Glasner's side have managed to capture just one win from their last seven matches overall in the Premier League which came in the form of a 3-0 home win against Burnley but also includes being involved in three draws and three defeats as well.

Points picked up in stalemates with Everton, Luton Town and Nottingham Forest have been outweighed by losses handed out to The Eagles by Brighton, Chelsea and Tottenham respectively, while the bigger picture shows the visitors have claimed just three wins from their last 18 matches overall.

Each of these three wins for Crystal Palace have all been recorded on home soil at their Selhurst Park ground with victories over Brentford, Sheffield United and Burnley respectively but the visitors have also slipped to nine defeats as well.
