Match Overview

Crystal Palace will host Bournemouth at Selhurst Park in London on April 20, 2025, at 23:00 KST in Round 33 of the Premier League. Crystal Palace currently sits in 12th place with 41 goals scored and 43 conceded, while Bournemouth is slightly ahead in 10th, with 51 goals scored and 40 conceded. Both teams come into this fixture with mixed results, though Palace recently thrashed Bournemouth 5-2 in a past encounter. Given Palace’s tighter defense at home and Bournemouth’s current injury list, this match is expected to be cautiously contested.

Team Key Players

For Crystal Palace, Jean Mateta (ST) is the central target up front, having been supported by the creativity of Eberechi Eze (CAM) and the speed of Ismaila Sarr (RCM). Defensively, Dean Henderson in goal and M. Lacroix (CB) provide stability.

Bournemouth relies heavily on Evanilson (ST) to deliver goals, with Alex Scott (CAM) orchestrating play from the middle. Lewis Cook and Tyler Adams anchor the midfield but face a difficult challenge due to a long list of injuries, including Sinisterra, Kluivert, and Tavernier, who are all doubtful.

Match Pick: Under 2.5 total goals

Due to injury-depleted squads and both teams showing conservative scoring trends—especially Crystal Palace with a 1.32 goal average per match and Bournemouth’s improved defense—a low-scoring affair is likely.
