Prediction: 1-1
Bournemouth
Crystal Palace play host to Bournemouth at their Selhurst Park on day 15 of the new Premier League campaign. The Eagles showed character in a 1-1 draw with West Ham United, with the team coming from behind to share the spoils with the Hammers and they now aim to put an end to their three-match winless run. There are no fresh injury concerns in Roy Hodgson’s team, but all Eberechi Eze, Cheick Doucoure, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, Dean Henderson, and Nathan Ferguson remain in the treatment room.
The Cherries, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Newcastle United and Sheffield United, while sharing the spoils with high-flying Aston Villa. As Bournemouth have been impressive up front in recent weeks, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. All Lloyd Kelly, Max Aarons, Alex Scott, Tyler Adams, Emiliano Marcondes, and Ryan Fredericks should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Jean-Philippe Mateta):
A talented French youngster Jean-Philippe Mateta worked his way up through football’s less glamorous landscapes plying his trade at local amateur sides and third-tier outfits before Ligue 1 giants Lyon took notice of his 11 goals in 22 matches and brought him to the big league.
Having failed to make it into the first team in a debut season with Les Gones, Mateta was shipped out to Le Havre, leading the club to promotion play-offs. Bundesliga side Mainz took notice of his ability and came calling in the summer of 2018 after he bagged 17 goals in 35 league matches. An imposing physical presence at his 192cm, Mateta is a mobile forward and a decent dribbler who can finish with both of his feet.
Having worked his way up from the very bottom, Jean-Philippe Mateta is a committed individual determined to make a name for himself. His impressive goalscoring record got rewarded in the form of France U19 call-up in 2017.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
