AFC Bournemouth - Crystal Palace predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Crystal Palace are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, AFC Bournemouth should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

It’s highly unlikely that The Eagles will manage to get some points this round. Bournemouth are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

The 2.24 betting odds pointed at The Cherries as the most likely winners of their previous engagement – largely due to the advantage of playing at home. They delivered on those expectations, albeit with a 1-goal difference secured in the second half.

The away team’s previous league match was full of unexpected twists, though it ultimately ended in a draw. They took the lead in the first half, which went against most Premier League betting predictions and odds. An equalising goal eventually cost them the win, but they put up a tougher fight than expected.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, The Cherries will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

With at least one goal on the board in each of their most recent 7 matches, Crystal Palace are on a roll. This stat marks this match as a solid opportunity for a bet like Both Teams to Score.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.98 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, The Cherries won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Ryan Christie, Ryan Fredericks, Luis Sinisterra are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Bournemouth’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Our research suggests that Both Teams to Score is a very probable outcome for this match. It’s offered at odds of 1.75 at 1xbet, which is fairly strong in terms of value as well. BTTS is both safe and valuable here – what’s not to like?
