Bournemouth is aiming to narrow the gap on the Premier League’s top seven as they prepare to face Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon. Andoni Iraola’s team had a rough patch but managed to secure a crucial victory against Fulham on Monday, thanks to Antoine Semenyo’s early goal. They are now six points behind Aston Villa in seventh place and need to go on a winning streak to keep their European hopes alive.
On the other hand, Palace’s recent form has been disappointing, with back-to-back heavy defeats. Despite the return of Marc Guehi, they have struggled to keep a clean sheet. Bournemouth will look to take advantage of this vulnerability and secure another important win.
In terms of lineup predictions, Palace may stick with the same team from their previous game, while Bournemouth could see the return of Adam Wharton in midfield and Romain Esse in attack. Justin Kluivert’s fitness remains a concern for Bournemouth, but they have options in Alex Scott and Marcus Tavernier.
Overall, Bournemouth’s recent victory has kept them in the race for European qualification, and they will be motivated to continue their winning ways. Palace, on the other hand, will need to bounce back quickly from their recent defeats. The prediction for this match is a 2-1 win for Bournemouth.
