Conclusion Crystal Palace - Bournemouth
Both sides have not had the best of runs in their recent matches; they both have one win in the last five outings but Palace won more recently and will be better motivated when taking on a Bournemouth side that has lost the last three. However, Palace have three straight home losses and with one win in five at home, there may be questions regarding their comfort playing at home. Looking at both sides’ forms, and the fact that five of the last nine meetings between the two ended in draws, it is easier to pick a draw as the best possible result here.
