Our prediction for the match Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth
The club from the capital of England became a solid mid-table team in the Premier League under the leadership of Hodgson. Speaking about the previous cycle, already during its course, the management replaced the ageing veteran with Glasner. The mentor quickly got used to the Foggy Albion and closed the top 10 with 49 points. As for the club from Bournemouth, it bet on Iraola back in the summer of 2023. And the debut season was quite good: 48 points resulted in 12th position in the final table.
The Basque specialist continued to ensure the progress of his footballers, having sold the key striker, Solanke, in the summer. The club was even in the European competition zone, but a decline, during which it was eliminated from the cup and fell back to the middle of the table in the championship, began from mid-February. And only the game against Fulham gave an opportunity to beat the opponent – 1-0. The representatives of London, on the contrary, sharply improved their performance after a very difficult start, in the winter. At the end of the month, they will play in the semi-finals of the cup. And they rose from the relegation zone to the top of the table, with chances for 8th place, in the Premier League! In this regard, a 2-5 failure in the meeting with Manchester City became a kind of “cold shower”.
Mateta and his partners score 1.32 goals each. This is already noticeably more than the goals conceded – 1.29. The guests’ ratio has dropped to 1.63/1.25 due to recent failures.
