Crystal Palace vs Leicester Prediction & Betting tips
It was a historic evening that nobody will forget so soon. Neither on the side of Leicester City (3rd place, 20 points) nor Southampton. The Foxes provided the highest ever away win in 131 years of English football.
Only Manchester United was able to win in March 1995 also with 9: 0. The Red Devils beat at Old Trafford Ipswich Town. A 5-0 home stoppage in the Premier League brought Manchester City into April 2010 in Burnley.
In addition, Leicester is only the second club in the Premier League history with two hat-tricks from two different players in a match. Last Friday, these were Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy. In May 2003, Arsenal (also against Southampton) met Jermaine Pennant and Robert Pires three times each.
For Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers it was now about to keep his boys on the ground after this triumphant result. Since it was not bad that during the week the League Cup match was at third division Burton Albion.
Although Rodgers made numerous changes, the Foxes gave up the M1 on the short away trip up the M1 no nakedness. The Foxes have now won six of the last seven competitive games and face Everton away in the League Cup quarter-final.
Before that, on Sunday, however, it’s time to go to London to Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace (ranked 6, 15 points) is waiting for the Foxes. The Eagles won the recent four Premier League duels against Leicester.
Nevertheless, the guest from the East Midlands favorite is on three points. These show the odds of all bookmakers between Crystal Palace and Leicester.
Crystal Palace:
On Sunday, Crystal Palace meets for the fourth consecutive time in a league match on a team that is on the game in the top five to find. Wolverhampton Wanderers had to master such a tough schedule before (November 2010).
The Eagles picked up another point at Arsenal on matchday, despite coach-veteran Roy Hodgson’s team having lost 2-0 after just nine minutes.
It captain Luka Milivojevic once again turned a penalty. Since the Premier League return in 2013, Palace has been awarded more penalties (48) and transformed (39) than any other team in that period.
Milivojevic has turned 21 penalties since his debut in February 2017, twice as many as any other Premier League player. Wilfried Zaha has been awarded 16 penalties in the last five years.
The 2-2 draw was made by Jordan Ayew, who has now scored four times in his last eight Premier League matches, as often as in the 34 league games before. However, Ayew has met only once at home so far.
Although the Eagles lost the recent home game 0-2 against Man City, but lost the South London since March no longer two home games in a row. 53 percent of the points went home this season (8 out of 15).
A significant increase to the preseason, as Palace could enter only 41 percent of the counters in Selhurst Park (20 of 49). Nevertheless, we consider an away win more likely. So, between Crystal Palace and Leicester our forecast in a tip on the Foxes sees the greater chance of success. Key player Zaha has met Leicester in each of his last three Premier League games.
Against no other Premier League opponents met the Ivorer more often (four times). Connor Wickham and Mamadou Sakho are injured. Master Keeper Vicente Guaita is questionable.
Leicester:
Are the Foxes really a master candidate? After the historic 9-0 on the final day in Southampton there are numerous experts who believe Leicester the big litter.
After all, Leicester currently has 20 points in the account and thus a counter more than at this time of the championship season 2015/16. Only in the first league season 1930/31, the Foxes also came to 20 points after ten matchdays.
But always slowly with the young horses! Unlike 2016, this year’s Liverpool and Manchester City title race is a mix of two of the top teams on the planet today.
The big advantage of the Foxes, however, is – with Christmas time out of the ordinary – usually only one game per week, while defending champion Man City and Liverpool have to run in three-day rhythm.
Although the Foxes landed in Southampton a record victory, in London Leicester could win only one of the last 14 Premier League games (1-6-7). In addition, the Foxes won for the last time in the championship season away a Premier League game on a Sunday. In April 2016, thanks to two Vardy goals, they won 2-0 in Sunderland. Since then, three draws and six defeats followed.
Nonetheless, the Foxes are in favor of a threesome, so between Crystal Palace and Leicester our prediction recommends taking a closer look at odds for a tip on the team of Brendan Rodgers. Jamie Vardy is currently a Premier League top scorer with nine goals following his hat-trick last week.
The Englishman needed only 20 shots and thus exploited 45 percent of his shots on goal – the current best quota of all Premier League players. Four of the five appearances in the title go to James Maddison this season (two goals, two assists).
