Bournemouth vs Palace: Can Bournemouth Extend Their Unbeaten Streak?
Bournemouth hosts Crystal Palace on May 3, 2026, at the Vitality Stadium, riding a remarkable wave of momentum. The Cherries are currently on a record-breaking 14-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, while Palace struggles after a disappointing loss.
Bournemouth sits in 8th place with 49 points, having drawn their last match against Leeds United (2-2). In contrast, Crystal Palace finds itself in 14th place with only 43 points after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool. This stark difference in form sets the stage for an intriguing encounter.
Historically, Bournemouth has enjoyed recent success against Palace. They have not lost in their last five meetings, with three of those ending in draws. This trend adds psychological pressure on Palace as they prepare for this crucial clash.
Andoni Iraola’s departure from Bournemouth looms large over the club—his impact has been significant during this unbeaten streak. Meanwhile, Oliver Glasner’s squad needs to find its footing quickly if they want to avoid falling further down the table.
