Leeds United - Crystal Palace predictions

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Leeds United on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Leeds on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

It’s fair to say Leeds demonstrated their character in the last Premier League clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (Brentford).

Crystal Palace’s previous round was a home match against Manchester City which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 4.08 odds on a home win.

The first step The Whites need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Crystal Palace currently have a solid string of 3 victories as visitors. It’s apparent that home-field disadvantage is not enough to keep them from triumph.

With just 2 points between them and the relegation zone, the hosts will want to be careful with rough matchups such as this one. We’re too early in the season to call their situation bad, but moving up the table will be a challenge.

Bookmakers claim that this match can go either way with their odds. Of course, The Eagles have plenty of reasons to give their all. They’re just 10 points behind the best-placed team, so catching up is quite possible considering most of the season still lies ahead.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.00 at 888Sport.
