On October 18, Selhurst Park will host the Premier League Round 8 clash between two teams that have surprisingly found themselves at the top of the table – Crystal Palace will take on Bournemouth.
Crystal Palace started the season with an impressive six-game unbeaten run, which allowed the team to climb high in the standings. Their momentum was slowed by a 2-1 away defeat to Everton in the previous round. Even so, Palace remain in a solid sixth position in the Premier League.
Bournemouth are doing even better. Under Andoni Iraola, the team sits fourth in the table with four wins, two draws, and just one loss. To their credit, that defeat came against last year’s champions Liverpool, away from home, in the very first round.

Prediction for the Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth
I expect a cautious approach from both sides, with a focus on compact defending and keeping control in midfield. This kind of tactical setup rarely produces a high-scoring match. Based on this analysis, my recommendation is to bet on Under 2.5 total goals.
