The Cherries have had a mixed start to the season winning three, losing two and drawing one of their opening six fixtures.

Palace on the other hand have only picked up seven points so far this season, beating Fulham and Huddersfield, while holding Newcastle to a 0-0 draw.

Roy Hodgson's side have also only found the back of the net four times in their half a dozen games; however, they have a decent defensive record only conceding six.

Eddie Howe's men are 13/10 favourites to beat the London side, while Palace are 23/10 to leave the south coast with all three points. A draw can be backed at 5/2.

Ryan Fraser has found the back of the net three times this season, making him Bournemouth's top scorer, the Scottish international is 3/1 to bag a goal any time and 15/2 to score first.

Callum Wilson, who has scored two goals, is 9/2 to open the scoring and 7/4 to get his third goal at any time, while Jermaine Defoe is 5/1 to score his and the game's first goal and 15/8 to find the net any time.

Wilfred Zaha is Palace's top goal scorer with three goals, he is 11/2 to score first and 9/5 to bag his fourth goal at any time.

Four of Bournemouth's games in the league this season have ended with over 2.5 goals, while only two of Crystal Palace's have resulted in three games or more. Over 2.5 is 3/4 and under 2.5 is 19/20.
