Crystal Palace and Bournemouth face each other in a duel that could define some positions in the middle of the Premier League table. The Eagles have no more chances of being relegated, while the Cherries’ chances of going down are almost nil at the time.
Both teams lost their last game, which will bring even more pressure for victory on both sides. Playing at home, the Londoners should take the initiative in the match, looking for the goal from the beginning. The team from the south coast, on the other hand, just wants to end the season in style.

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Crystal Palace?
Palace has already achieved enough points to remain in the Premier League the following season, however, even if it wins the remaining matches, it fails to qualify for an international competition.
The last time they played at home, they beat West Ham by 4-3, in a super exciting and tense match. The open and balanced game was an interesting challenge for the hosts, who managed to maintain the advantage until the end and conquer three more points.
Eze and Zaha are Crystal Palace’s top scorers in the current season with 15 goals added, which results in a percentage of 42% of the goals scored by the team in the Premier League. Beating Bournemouth could mean looking for a more comfortable position in the league and a more interesting prize.
Why Bet on Bournemouth?
Bournemouth needs at least one point in the final rounds to be sure they will play in the Premier League again next season. Their season was surprising, as they beat difficult opponents, in contexts where few imagine getting a good result.
Neto, Philip Billing, and Solanke are the highlights of this season, contributing with good defensive shows, goals, and beautiful plays. Center forward Solanke has been scouted by other teams in English football and it will be very difficult to keep him in the squad next season.
Despite no longer having a chance of qualifying for any international competition, the Cherries want to end the season in the best possible way: far from relegation and close to the top half of the table.
Final Betting Analysis: Crystal Palace vs. Bournemouth
It would be too easy to just give the upper hand to the locals, so let’s dive a little deeper. This has been a normal season for Crystal Palace, marked by a terrible sting of ten matches without a win, that although was also due to a horrible calendar with all the big six in the middle, cost Patrick Viera’s job. Roy Hodson came in and immediately took them out of the relegation battle.
In regards to Bournemouth, they have brought gold out of nowhere. Everyone picked them for relegation, and their 9-0 loss at Anfield put them one foot into the Championship in the minds of the public. However they recovered and in what a way, as they are practically out of the battle to evade the drop.
In the head-to-head Crystal Palace has some paternity winning 5 of the last 10. Only 2 went to Bournemouth, and the Eagles were victorious in the first round last year. In the end, we go for their win, but the Cherries won’t go down without a fight.
If you put $100 into Crystal Palace’s win, you could get $87 back for a total payout of $187.
