Leeds United - Crystal Palace betting tips and odds

Leeds United are easily the favourites in the match this Sunday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.16 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Crystal Palace may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for The Eagles who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

While they haven’t exactly recorded as convincing win as their supporters had hoped for, The Whites still earned important three points in the previous round and will relish an opportunity for a bigger-margin victory this Sunday.

Crystal Palace are coming on the back of a narrow home win against Leicester City in the previous round. Leicester City were tagged as favourites by most online bookmakers going in, so the 2:1 victory is quite a success for The Eagles.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The hosts are placed at 13th in the standings, which puts them 2 points away from the relegation zone. They’ll need to be careful this late in the season, especially considering this game is rather evenly matched.

Though they’re not in the relegation zone, The Eagles would certainly breathe a lot easier knowing that there was more than 3 points between them. Unfortunately, they’re not very likely to walk away with any points in a matchup like this. Worse yet, the end of the season is approaching rapidly.

Earlier in the season, Leeds lost an away game against Crystal Palace, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 2.16 odds for a home win in mind.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw, Tyler Adams, Degnand Gnonto, Maximilian Wöber will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

Thankfully, Crystal Palace will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.1 if you use the Betsson sportsbook.
