Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth Match Prediction

Crystal Palace go into a game off the back of a defeat for the first time since April after their six-month unbeaten run was ended by Everton before the break.

The Eagles are winless and have not even scored in their last four meetings against the visitors.

Bournemouth continue to be the surprise package of this Premier League season with the comeback against Fulham earlier this month putting them in a Champions League spot.

Just four of their 14 points won this term have come on the road.

Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-1 Bournemouth
