FW Predictions for Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
Two teams looking to bounce back from defeats go head-to-head in the Premier League this weekend as the Cherries play host to the Eagles. We’re expecting a close and competitive 90-minutes between two teams that sit just 3pts and three places apart in the table.
Both Teams to Score
We’re backing both teams to score in this game just as they have done in three of the last six meetings between Bournemouth and Crystal Palace. Both teams have also found the back of the net in three of the Cherries’ and three of the Eagles’ last six competitive and non-competitive outings, adding further weight to our prediction.
Over 2.5 Goals
At least three goals have been scored in three of the last six encounters between these two clubs and the way both teams have been defending of late, we’re expecting plenty of goalmouth action on Saturday. Four of Bournemouth’s and four of Crystal Palace’s last six outings in all competitions, including friendlies, have ended with at least three goals being scored.

What will the lineups be for this New Year’s Eve fixture?Bournemouth
Bournemouth made the trip to Chelsea last time out but returned home with nothing to show for their efforts. The home side scored twice in the first-half to put the Cherries to bed and O’Neil’s men failed to respond and the game ended in a 2-0 defeat. Brooks, Fredericks, Stanislas, Neto and Tavernier could all miss out this weekend due to injury.
Predicted Lineup: Travers (GK), Smith, Stacey, Senesi, Kelly, Zemura, Lerma, Cook, Billing, Moore & Solanke
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace were humiliated in their own backyard by Fulham last time out and much of their undoing was self produced. Fulham took the lead in the 31st-minute and shortly after that, Palace full-back Mitchell as shown a straight red card. The visitors went in at the break a goal and a man to the good and just before the hour mark, Palace were down to 9-men when Tomkins picked up his second yellow card of the game. Fulham doubled their advantage in the 71st-minute and wrapped up the points with a third goal 10-minutes from time, leaving Patrick Vieira scratching his head. Along with the suspended Tomkins and Mitchell, Johnstone, McArthur and Ferguson could all miss out for Palace this weekend.
Predicted Lineup: Guaita (GK), Riedewald, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Schlupp, Eze, Doucouré, Olise, Ayew & Zaha
Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Philip Billing
Billing has been playing in England for a long time now but the Danish midfielder is only just starting to develop into a quality Premier League player.
These last few seasons have seen Billing add more goals to his game and the traditional ball-winning midfielder is now more of a box-to-box player that has 4-goals to his name in the Premier League this season.
When Billing ventures forward his is a threat from open play with his long shots and has the strength and height to cause plenty of problems from set-pieces as well. Billing is the rock in the heart of the Bournemouth midfield and when he plays well, Bournemouth generally play well and we expect that to be the case this weekend.
Billing scored 10-goals in the Championship last season for the Cherries and if he gets close to that total this season, Bournemouth will stand a good chance of avoiding relegation.
