Command Analysis
AFC Bournemouth
EnglandCurrent form
Bournemouth had a less than ideal stretch in November with two defeats in a row. However, Andoni Iraola managed to stabilise the situation and after those failures the team produced a powerful unbeaten streak of five games – four wins and one draw. Separately, we note the successful matches against Tottenham (1:0) and Manchester United (3:0) in the last round. In the game with the Mancunians, they were lucky in some ways, the opponent had many chances, played for at least one goal. As a result, by the start of the 18th round, the Cherries with 28 points are in fifth place in the table, breaking away from Aston Villa only due to additional indicators. Nottingham Forest are three points ahead.

Crystal Palace

9.40Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, we expect the hosts to score three points and justify the favorite status given to them by bookmakers. Bournemouth is having a better season than their opponents, is in excellent shape, and has won four of the previous five matches. In addition, the Cherries have won their last two personal meetings, and Crystal Palace has not been able to hit their goal even once.
Our prediction is a Bournemouth win at odds of 1.90
Bet on total
Head-to-head matches between the teams are not particularly productive. In the last seven head-to-head meetings, the opponents have never scored more than two goals, and it is unlikely that this streak will be broken today.
The second bet is total under three goals with odds of 1.72
Bet on corners
Another promising trend for betting on corners is worth noting. In 10 of Crystal Palace previous 12 away matches in the Premier League, there have been at least 11 corners.
Forecast - total corners over 10.5 with odds of 1.75
