Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth Prediction

Crystal Palace Form

A single point is all Crystal Palace have to show from their last three games, where they came up short, losing 2-3 and 2-1 against Everton and Luton respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation with a 1-1 against West Ham. Crystal Palace claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Premier League, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored six and conceded eight goals.

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last three matches saw them gaining seven points. They ran out 2-0 and 1-3 winners against Newcastle and Sheffield United, respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Aston Villa, who claimed a point in a 2-2 draw. In their last six Premier League away matches, Bournemouth failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn one and lost four, scoring eight while also conceding 18 times.

Crystal Palace go into their match at Selhurst Park as favourites with the bookies, but form has been too shabby for us to back that claim. We prefer a bet on Bournemouth, while the more cautious punter might prefer the double-chance.

Crystal Palace recorded seven points following two wins from their last five games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored six goals, but also conceded five. Crystal Palace enjoy a record of four wins, four draws and six defeats in the Premier League this season. Bournemouth so far pulled off three wins, four draws and seven defeats in the Premier League.
