- 伯恩茅斯在五场比赛中保持不败，其中四场获胜
- 水晶宫在过去的21场英超客场比赛中只赢了4场
- 上个赛季，樱桃人队在老鹰队的比赛中取得了两次胜利，每次胜利都保持了零失球
樱桃可以保持良好的状态
尽管伯恩茅斯在安多尼·伊拉奥拉的第一个赛季即将结束时令人印象深刻，但只有非常勇敢的人才能预测他们这次会在圣诞节领先于曼城、阿斯顿维拉、纽卡斯尔、托特纳姆和曼联。
然而，这正是他们领先于节礼日比赛的地方，在17场比赛后排名第五，距离前四仅差3分；对于那个崇高的职位来说，它们也是很有价值的。
樱桃人本赛季击败了阿森纳、曼城、曼联和托特纳姆热刺，证明他们可以在当天与大男孩们混在一起，而他们在英超联赛中的34.3个预期进球只能被前两名利物浦（35.2）和切尔西（35.4）超越。
伊拉奥拉显然已经组建了一支有凝聚力和威胁性的进攻球队，在老特拉福德以3比0击败东道主后，他的球队在节礼日在活力体育场观看水晶宫的比赛。
伯恩茅斯有望再次获胜
五场不败的战绩，包括与维拉、纽卡斯尔和曼城的平局，表明老鹰队在开局不稳后开始显示出改善的迹象，但自那以后，风很快就被吹走了。
他们以3比2输给阿森纳，被淘汰出联赛杯，随后在塞尔赫斯特公园以5比1的比分被同一对手击败
奥利弗·格拉斯纳（Oliver Glasner）将热衷于在主场惨败后重建势头，提升训练营的情绪，但前往活力之旅可能无法提供所需的补品。
Semenyo将再次成为明星
上赛季，Palace输掉了与伯恩茅斯的每一场比赛，两次都没有进球，老鹰队可能会在对阵樱桃队的比赛中更加痛苦，樱桃队一定梦想着欧洲足球，因为我们已经接近比赛的中点。
老鹰队通常也是糟糕的旅行者，在过去的21场英超联赛客场比赛中只赢了4场，这表明状态良好的伯恩茅斯值得以微弱的优势支持
Cherries的上述预期进球数字突显了Iraola的球队有多危险，Antoine Semenyo可能是他们前锋的首选。
只有埃尔林·哈兰德（70岁）的投篮次数比加纳人多；这位67岁的球员在英超联赛中排名第二，他有望连续第二场比赛进球，因为他已经锁定了伯恩茅斯；周日在老特拉福德的第三场比赛。
预言：
AFC伯恩茅斯获胜
AFC伯恩茅斯2:0
Antoine Semenyo随时得分
外文原文如下：
- Bournemouth are unbeaten in five games, winning four of those
- Crystal Palace have won only four of their last 21 Premier League away matches
- The Cherries did the double over the Eagles last term, keeping a clean sheet in each of those victories
Cherries can continue excellent form
As impressive as Bournemouth were towards the end of their first season under Andoni Iraola, it would have taken a very brave person to predict they would be ahead of Manchester City, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Tottenham and Manchester United come Christmas this time around.
However, that is exactly where they are ahead of the Boxing Day fixtures, sitting pretty in fifth after 17 games and just three points off the top four – they are good value for that lofty position too.
The Cherries have beaten Arsenal, City, United and Tottenham this season, proving they can mix it with the big boys on their day, while their 34.3 expected goals in the Premier League can only be bettered by the top two, Liverpool (35.2) and Chelsea (35.4).
Iraola has clearly put together a cohesive and threatening attacking side and, fresh off a 3-0 rout of their hosts at Old Trafford, his team are in the perfect mood to see off Crystal Palace at the Vitality Stadium on Boxing Day.
Bournemouth bound for another win
A five-game unbeaten run which included draws with Villa, Newcastle and City suggested the Eagles were beginning to show signs of improvement after a shaky start, but the wind has been swiftly taken out of their sails since.
They were knocked out of the League Cup via a 3-2 loss at Arsenal and followed up that disappointment with a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of the same opponents at Selhurst Park.
Oliver Glasner will be keen to rebuild momentum and lift the mood in the camp after that heavy home defeat, but a trip to the Vitality may not provide the required tonic.
Semenyo set to star again
Palace lost each of their meetings with Bournemouth last term, failing to score on both occasions, and the Eagles may be set for further misery against the Cherries, who must be dreaming of European football as we near the mid-point of the campaign.
The Eagles are generally poor travellers too, winning only four of their last 21 Premier League away matches, suggesting an in-form Bournemouth are worth backing at a shade of odds-on.
The Cherries’ aforementioned expected goals figure highlights just how dangerous Iraola’s men can be and Antoine Semenyo is perhaps the pick of the bunch when it comes to their forwards.
Only Erling Haaland (70) has managed more shots than the Ghanaians’s 67 in the Premier League and he is fancied to find the net for the second straight game, having bagged Bournemouth’s third at Old Trafford on Sunday.
