On Sunday, Bournemouth’s assault on the European soccer places will continue with a home game against Crystal Palace. This must be viewed as a huge opportunity for the hosts, who are going up against a tired team, one that played away in Europe on Thursday night, a team that has not had long to rest and prepare for this game.
As things stand, the hosts are in a promising seventh place, but there are teams chasing hard, and the job is far from done, which means that Andoni Iraola’s men must go for the win here, so we can expect a front-footed approach from the Cherries. One player who should thrive under such conditions is the lively Rayan, who has impressed since arriving from Brazil in January.
Against opposition who lack the energy of the hosts and who’re playing with one eye on Thursday’s continental mission, Rayan is well worth betting on to make a telling contribution in the final third.

Our Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Prediction
This is the perfect time for the Cherries to be taking on the Eagles, who surely won’t be flying too high on the south coast after what was a tough away trip in Europe on Thursday. Against far less fresher opponents, the in-form Rayan can thrive.
The Brazilian is really starting to settle in at Bournemouth, and after a couple of very lively performances, scoring against Leeds and assisting against Newcastle, the teenager could easily be priced less generously to do some damage against Crystal Palace.
Our Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace Pick: Rayan to Score or Assist.
