Bournemouth vs. Crystal Palace Prediction 

After registering a dominant 3-0 victory against Man United at Old Trafford, the Cherries must be flying high with their momentum. 

The current form of the Eagles might not be up to their standards, but they would look to challenge the hosts in the Boxing Day clash. With the return of Eze to the team, we expect them to put up a fight. But looking at the form of Iraola’s men, they are likely to win this match with a narrow margin.
