Prediction: Crystal Palace vs AFC Bournemouth
With Crystal Palace in poor home form and AFC Bournemouth performing average on away matches, it will be a difficult game to call. Based on previous results, Crystal Palace appears to have the edge, but with a history of draws between the two sides and a low average goal count, it’s possible this game could end up even. Overall, our prediction is a 1-1 draw for Crystal Palace vs AFC Bournemouth.
