Crystal Palace vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2023-12-08 12:30.
[p]Crystal Palace have hit a rough run of form after slumping to a fourth successive winless Premier League (PL) match (D1, L3) in midweek, with Bournemouth running out 2-0 winners at Selhurst Park. It was another blunt attacking display from Roy Hodgson’s side who slipped to 14th following the defeat, with only lowly Sheffield United (11) scoring fewer than Palace’s 14 league goals this term. [/p]
[p]The Eagles’ attacking woes have been particularly prevalent at home where they’ve failed to score in four of their seven home matches this PL campaign. Unsurprisingly, that’s had a huge adverse impact on Palace’s results at Selhurst Park, so much so that their five points won at home so far is their lowest tally after their opening seven home matches of a league campaign since accruing four back in 2000/01.[/p]
[p]Opponents Liverpool have had no such problems in front of goal, netting in each of their last 32 matches in all competitions, leaving them bearing down on a club-record run of 34 straight scoring fixtures set between April and December 2021. Their double at Bramall Lane on Wednesday handed the Reds a 2-0 win over Sheffield United and kept them hot on the heels of league-leaders Arsenal, who they trail by just two points.[/p]
[p]With the Gunners taking on Aston Villa in the Saturday evening kick-off, Jürgen Klopp’s men have a chance to climb to the top of the table, momentarily at least. They’ll be confident of achieving that target given the strong H2H record they hold against their hosts which peaked with a ten-game winning streak ahead of last season’s meetings. Yet, draws home and away in the last campaign should show there’s no room for complacency. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Like was the case with his only goal against Liverpool back in the 2021/22 campaign, all seven efforts from Palace’s Odsonne Edouard this season have come after half-time. Opponent Mohamed Salah won’t mind when his goal arrives as long as he gets the one he needs to become the fifth player to net 200 for Liverpool.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Since they lost to Man City in April, Liverpool have won more PL points than any other side (59).[/p]
