On Saturday, Selhurst Park will play host to what is poised to be a pulsating Premier League clash drenched in pride and pressure when a plucky Bournemouth arrive in South London to face Crystal Palace. The Eagles are sixth in the league standings, while the Cherries are two places above them in fourth after the first seven games of the season. Check out our match prediction below!
It is fair to say that the Eagles have taken flight under Oliver Glasner, and Selhurst Park has turned into something of a sanctuary since the Austrian’s arrival. An FA Cup triumph, lifting the Community Shield, and an impressive start to the league season - this Palace outfit is no longer just a side simply seeking survival - they are soaring!
As for Bournemouth - Andoni Iraola is building belief that is blooming among the Cherries, and three points from this match will take the Red and Blacks to the summit of the league standings, with Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal playing later in the weekend. This could easily end up being the match of the weekend - let’s get into the key stats!

Crystal Palace - Bournemouth: Form Analysis
Crystal Palace have enjoyed a sensational six months, a period during which they set a new club record of 19 games unbeaten and secured their first piece of major silverware - the FA Cup.
Unfortunately, that unbeaten record was broken ahead of the international break, when they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Everton, which was the first time they conceded twice in a match since the Community Shield.
However, the Eagles now return to Selhurst Park, where they have not tasted defeat in their last 14 matches across all competitions (W10 D4), dating back to the middle of February, also against the Toffees.
Both league games between these sides ended 0-0 last season!
Meanwhile, Bournemouth will be brimming with confidence after pulling off a stunning 3-1 comeback win against Fulham before the international break - their sixth league game without defeat.
During this unbeaten run, the Cherries have picked up four wins (D2), which is an incredible improvement, having taken 16 matches for their previous four league victories before this current run.
However, the visitors' away form is less impressive, as they have only won two of their last nine league matches on the road (W2 D4 L3) and conceded six goals in three outings so far this term.

Crystal Palace & Bournemouth Squad Analysis
The right-wing pairing of Ismaila Sarr and Daniel Munoz has been instrumental to Crystal Palace’s attack this season. The duo combined to good effect for their goal against Everton last time out and have now directly contributed to six of the team’s nine goals this season.
The Eagles could have beaten the Toffees had Jean Philipe-Mateta not squandered two big chances. The Frenchman has now missed nine big chances in total this term - the most of any player in the top flight.
Glasner is expected to be missing three players this weekend due to injury, including Caleb Kporha (back), Cheick Doucoure (knee) and Chadli Riad (knee).
Is Antoine Semenyo the best player in the Premier League right now?
Well, there is certainly a strong case to be made in that regard! The Ghanaian has now been involved in nine of Bournemouth’s 11 goals this season (81.8%) after netting a brace and picking up an assist in the win against Fulham.
Justin Kluivert scored against the Cottagers, and Iraola will now have to make a big decision between the Dutch international, David Brooks and Marcus Tavernier, over who will start alongside Semenyo in attacking midfield.
As far as absentees go, the visitors are without Julio Soler, who is away with the Argentina U-20s, while Adam Smith (hamstring) and Enes Unal (cruciate ligament) are ruled out through injury.

Our Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth Prediction
What we have here are two of this season’s biggest surprises set to go head-to-head, and the hosts enter the contest as the favourites - understandably so - given their stellar record at Selhurt Park.
