Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace prediction

Draw specialists Bournemouth had to settle for another share of the spoils in their last Premier League fixture, with Leeds striking late on rescue a 2-2 draw at the Vitality Stadium.

The Cherries are currently on a club record 14-game unbeaten run in the Premier League though, as they chase down what would be an historic qualification for European football.

Crystal Palace have one eye elsewhere right now given that they are in the middle of their own slice of continental history. The Seagulls beat Shakhtar Donetsk 1-3 in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League semi-final tie on Thursday, and will look to complete the job next week.

With that in mind, Palace boss Oliver Glasner is likely to rest some of his key men here given their relatively comfortable position in the Premier League table, and that should open the door for the Cherries.
