Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth

Crystal Palace have failed to score in each of their last four Premier League games against Bournemouth (D2 L2). The only side the Eagles have ever gone 5+ consecutive games without a goal against in the competition are Tottenham Hotspur (7 from August 2016 to September 2019).

Both Premier League meetings between Bournemouth and Crystal Palace last season finished goalless; in the competition’s history, the only fixtures to see three consecutive 0-0 draws are Arsenal v QPR (Sep 1992-Jan 1994), Aston Villa v Man Utd (Jan 1996-Jan 1997), Coventry v Sheffield Wednesday (Oct 1996-Sep 1997), and Charlton v Middlesbrough (Mar 2001-Oct 2002).

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League home games (W5 D4), and have only twice before enjoyed a longer unbeaten home run in their top-flight history, going 10 without defeat from August to December 1979 and 17 without a loss from February to December 1990.

Bournemouth have won four of their last six Premier League games (D2), as many as their previous 16 beforehand (D4 L8). However, away from home, the Cherries have only enjoyed two wins in their last nine in the league (D4 L3) – though both came in London at Arsenal in May (2-1) and Tottenham Hotspur in August (1-0).

Crystal Palace have scored the first goal in five Premier League games this season, with only Manchester City (6) doing so more. The Eagles have gone 1-0 ahead in their last three, last doing so in four consecutive league games in April 2024.
