Bournemouth is set to face Crystal Palace at the Vitality Stadium on May 3, 2026. The match is pivotal for both teams as Bournemouth aims to preserve its remarkable 14-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace looks to spoil Bournemouth’s European ambitions. They have made five changes to their starting lineup, while Bournemouth has made just two adjustments. This clash comes after Bournemouth’s last league match ended in a 2-2 draw with Leeds United.
Bournemouth has not lost to Crystal Palace in their last five meetings, adding to the pressure on the visitors. Crystal Palace, however, boasts a strong away record, having won seven league matches on the road this season.
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK. Bournemouth’s manager, Andoni Iraola, will leave the club after this season, which adds another layer of intrigue.
Key statistics:
- Bournemouth is currently on a 14-match unbeaten run in the Premier League.
- Their last league defeat was against Arsenal in January 2026.
- Crystal Palace has won seven league matches away this season.
