Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth prediction: Margins could be tight at Selhurst Park

- AWAY: 17/10 (2.70) – 37%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Crystal Palace suffered a confidence-damaging 5-0 loss to Newcastle on Wednesday evening, however, despite conceding ten goals in their last two games, the Eagles have been priced as 7/5 favourites to win on Saturday.
Bournemouth ground out a 1-0 win over Fulham on Monday evening and the Cherries – who have one of the division’s best away records – have been given just a 37% chance of winning here. Read more of our best football predictions and Premiere League analysis on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Dean Huijsen
Dean Huijsen has been outstanding for Bournemouth this season and the defensive prospect, who has been averaging 5.80 clearances and 1.80 interceptions per Premier League game since August.
Rock-solid Huijsen to impress
Huijsen, who is being tracked by both Liverpool and Real Madrid ahead of the summer transfer window, brings composure and class to the Bournemouth backline, and the 20-year-old is backed to shine again at Selhurst Park.
