Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace preview Bournemouth are pushing hard for one of those last European spots, and Crystal Palace arrive with a real chance to stay in the mix on Sunday.
The Cherries start the weekend on 49 points in seventh place, just a point behind sixth-placed Brighton. Yet this unpredictable season means 12th place sits only three points back, and 13th-placed Palace still have a shot at qualifying.
Palace sit on 43 points with a game in hand (though it’s against title contenders Manchester City) and could also secure Europa League football by winning the Conference League. Outgoing manager Oliver Glasner has done an outstanding job and will play a big role in the top-seven battle as the Eagles finish the season against Everton, Manchester City, Brentford, and Arsenal after this weekend.
It promises to be an exciting afternoon, even though Palace are coming off a Thursday night trip to Poland, where they beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1 in the first leg of their Conference League semifinal. Will that extra travel make a difference?

Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace prediction Bournemouth hold the edge with home advantage and fresher legs. That should be enough for the Cherries to take all three points. Bournemouth 2-0 Palace.
