AFC Bournemouth form and stats

AFC Bournemouth have played 8 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Crystal Palace form and stats

There's been little loot from Crystal Palace's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the Premier League. Crystal Palace only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws.

Olise was the last player to score for the away team. Crystal Palace haven't scored a league goal in the last 180 minutes.

Crystal Palace might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Fulham proved too strong as Palace slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Selhurst Park. It's not a good sign for Crystal Palace that their goalie Guaita managed seven saves in the Fulham game, but still were unable to stop a beating. Midfield player Doucouré was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.44/10. Doucouré hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 30 successful passes (of 34 total).

Prior to that match, the Palace manager Vieira faced defeat when travelling to Nottingham Forest and losing 0-1.

A quick return to home after this game, as Crystal Palace are hosting Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League only four days away.

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Crystal Palace have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Crystal Palace have pulled off a streak of 4 consecutive games without defeat (3-1-0) when facing Bournemouth.
