View Image

Bournemouth host Crystal Palace at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday, with both Andoni Iraola and Oliver Glasner expected to leave in the summer. The reverse fixture was a six-goal thriller at Selhurst Park, ending 3-3 as Jean-Philippe Mateta completed a hat-trick with a 97th-minute equaliser.

The bookies have the Cherries as the firm favourites at 1/2 with BetGoodwin to get all three points as they continue their push for Europe while Palace are 17/4 with William Hill and a draw is 10/3 with bet365 .

Bournemouth have drawn 16 of 34 league games and most recently let two leads slip in a 2-2 draw with Leeds, but they are on a club-record 14-match unbeaten run and sit seventh, one point off sixth. They’ve lost only two of 17 home league matches and are unbeaten in five league meetings with Palace.

Palace arrive after a 3-1 Conference League semi-final first-leg win over Shakhtar, featuring a 21-second opener from Ismaila Sarr. In the league, they lost 3-1 at Liverpool last weekend and have been beaten seven times in their last 13 away matches, though they’ve kept five clean sheets in their last eight visits to Bournemouth.

With Palace going into this match with Europa League qualification a serious possibility via the Conference League, they will no doubt be resting key players meaning Bournemouth have a fantastic opportunity to put pressure on the race for Europe amongst Chelsea dn

Justin Kluivert has returned to Bournemouth training after a knee injury that has sidelined him since January, while Lewis Cook and Julio Soler are also back after thigh problems and could feature in the squad.

Iraola may keep the same XI, but could recall January signing Rayan after his goal against Leeds, possibly at David Brooks’ expense. Eli Junior Kroupi, who netted twice in the 3-3 draw with Palace and scored again last weekend, is expected to continue behind Evanilson with 11 goals in all competitions.

Palace remain without Evann Guessand, Eddie Nketiah and Cheick Doucoure, although Guessand is making progress. With the European second leg looming, Glasner may rotate, with Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta among those who could be rested. Tyrick Mitchell’s minutes may be managed too, with Borna Sosa an option at left wing-back, while Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma are in the mix for midfield.
