Our Predictions
The last two matches between Palace and Bournemouth ended 0-0, and Palace have drawn three of their opening four games. Both teams have shown strong defense this season, making a stalemate quite likely at good odds of 3.60.
Recent meetings have been low-scoring, with just one goal in the last three head-to-heads. Palace’s defense is solid, conceding only once in four games, so under 2.5 goals at even odds is a strong pick.
Both teams failed to score in the last two direct matches. Palace have kept opponents out in most home matches, while Bournemouth can struggle to find the net against compact defenses. At 2.00, it's a value bet.
