Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth Predictions, Tips & Latest Odds
Andoni Iraola’s Cherries travel to south London on Saturday afternoon in a clash between two of the most impressive performers so far this season.
In 14 Premier League matches so far this campaign, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace have suffered a combined two defeats: one for Bournemouth at the home of the champions, Liverpool, and one for Palace, last time out, thanks to a last minute Jack Grealish goal for Everton.
This consistent form has seen the stock of both squads rise across the Premier League landscape, both looking up towards the top six rather than being dragged down into the bottom half of the table.
A win for Bournemouth could see them go top of the league, albeit temporarily, and for Palace a chance to breach the top three.
Who will continue their impressive runs this Saturday?
Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth Tips
Here's three tips for the game on Saturday from Selhurst Park, with odds from betting sites for each selection.
Tip 1: Draw/Draw HT/FT at 9/2 with Betfred
We’re not expecting either side to roll over and have their bellies tickled by the other on Saturday afternoon.
Andoni Iraloa and Oliver Glasner have developed two talented, organized, hard-to-beat squads, and in a season where the ‘Big Six’ are expected to drop plenty of points, consistency will be the key in the race of the also-rans.
It’s two draws, two wins and two losses for both these sides across their last six meetings, so there isn’t an expectation that either side will be running away with this one.
A draw at half-time and full-time prices up well.
Tip 2: Jean-Philippe Mateta and Antoine Semenyo to score at 8/1 with bet365
In Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth currently own the best player in the Premier League.
The Ghanaian has six goals and three assists already this season and looks close to unstoppable attacking from Bournemouth’s left wing.
If Bournemouth score, he’s involved, and with four goals in his last four club appearances, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he added to that tally in south London.
Jean-Philippe Mateta is probably due a strike or two for Palace.
The Frenchman bagged for his international side in a 2-2 effort against Iceland and with 30 Premier League goals across the last two seasons combined, it’s only a matter of time before he’s up and running, kicking corner flags in celebration again.
Tip 3: Chris Richards to receive first booking at 20/1 with bet365
Chris Richards has the daunting job of looking after Antoine Semenyo on Saturday afternoon and will be under pressure to keep his nose clean and out of the referee’s notebook.
The American international received yellows in both matches against Australia and Ecuador in the break so may have a taste for a tackle when he’s matched against the fleet-footed left-winger.
An early ‘let him know you're there’ challenge in front of a hostile home crowd could see Richards’ name the first in the book at 20/1.
