Bournemouth host Crystal Palace at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday afternoon with the Cherries chasing a Conference League spot, unbeaten in eight Premier League matches and the home record at this venue against this opponent backing them up.<\/strong> Palace arrive without a win on the road in their last three.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace prediction has the home side winning, Evanilson to score and BTTS Yes the cleaner pairing for the Vitality.<\/p>\n

Kick-off is 2:00 PM local (9:00 AM ET) on Sunday, May 3. Bournemouth are 7th in the Premier League<\/a> on 49 points and currently hold the Conference League spot, one point behind 6th-placed Brighton in the cluster behind the top five. They have not lost since the 2-1 defeat at Everton on 10 February. Crystal Palace sit 13th on 43 points, comfortably clear of the relegation conversation but a long way from the European places. The reverse fixture in October ended 3-3 at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n

bet365 make Bournemouth home favourites at -154 with Crystal Palace +375 and the draw +320. Evanilson at +140 for anytime goalscorer is the cleanest read on the card.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth to win<\/strong><\/td>\n-154 @ bet365<\/a>
(60.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nUnbeaten in eight, holding a European spot, and at home to a Palace side that has lost three of their last four on the road.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Evanilson anytime goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n+140 @ bet365<\/a>
(41.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSix goals from 32 matches with 22 shots on target and an xG of 11.42 \u2014 the underlying numbers say his finishing has been the limiting factor, not his chance creation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both teams to score \u2014 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n-143 @ bet365<\/a>
(58.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThe reverse fixture was 3-3; the last three Premier League meetings between these clubs have produced 11 goals between them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Jean-Philippe Mateta anytime goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n+187 @ bet365<\/a>
(34.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nTen Premier League goals from 27 matches with 30 shots on target and an xG of 7.55. Palace’s leading scorer and the visitors’ clearest threat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 2-1 Bournemouth<\/strong><\/td>\n+800 @ bet365<\/a>
(11.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBournemouth at home unbeaten in eight; Palace good enough to find a goal but not enough to win at the Vitality, where they have not won in any of the last five meetings. 2-1 fits both the result-of-the-day call and the BTTS Yes pairing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 goals<\/strong><\/td>\n-150 @ bet365<\/a>
(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThe reverse fixture finished 3-3 at Selhurst Park; Bournemouth have hit Over 2.5 in four of their last five at home and Palace away games have produced 2+ goals in five straight.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n

Our approach: Bournemouth to win with Evanilson anytime goalscorer is the parlay at bet365<\/a>; Mateta anytime is the value Palace counter on a card that has BTTS written all over it.<\/p>\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n

The full Premier League standings<\/a> show how tight the cluster around the European places remains and how much daylight has opened between the comfortable mid-table sides and the relegation slot still in play.<\/p>\n
