Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
BOURNEMOUTH, England (Interstat) — Bournemouth hosts Crystal Palace on Sunday in a Premier League match following a dramatic 3-3 draw when the teams last met in October.
Crystal Palace enters the fixture after a convincing 3-1 victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, a result that improved their form in recent weeks. The Eagles have won four of their past six league matches, including a 3-1 triumph at Arsenal on April 18 and a 3-1 victory over Tottenham on March 5, though inconsistency has plagued them. They suffered a 3-1 loss at Liverpool on April 25 and were held to a 0-0 draw by West Ham on April 20.
Bournemouth’s most recent outing was a 2-2 draw against Leeds United on April 22, a result that followed a 2-1 win at Newcastle on April 18. The Cherries have shown resilience this season, posting victories over Arsenal (2-0 on April 11) and Manchester United (2-2 on March 20), but have also dropped points in draws against Burnley, Brentford and Sunderland.
In the last head-to-head meeting Oct. 18, 2025, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace played to a 3-3 thriller. That result extended a series that has seen both teams trade blows in recent seasons.
Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, while the organization’s ELO system gives Bournemouth a 64% probability of victory. The statistical models underscore a matchup between two mid-table sides with contrasting momentum: Crystal Palace buoyed by a statement win at Wolves, Bournemouth seeking to convert draws into wins.
Crystal Palace’s upcoming schedule includes home matches against Everton (May 10) and Arsenal (May 24), as well as trips to Manchester City (May 13) and Brentford (May 17). Bournemouth faces a demanding stretch with Chelsea visiting Sunday, followed by matches at Fulham (May 9), against Manchester City (May 19) and at Nottingham Forest (May 24).
Kickoff is set for Sunday at Vitality Stadium.
