AFC Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace prediction 2024-04-02
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Luton Town and Everton, Bournemouth will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Crystal Palace in the Premier League round 31. The Cherries have been impressive in front of goal of late and it is no wonder the odds for home win are dropping. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Dominic Solanke, who has already netted 16 goals in the EPL this term, while both Luis Sinisterra and Marcos Senesi are out of contention with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Eagles head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest. Anyhow, home win should be considered this time out as Bournemouth have been showing signs of improvement in recent weeks
