Southampton - Crystal Palace betting tips and odds

The home team are slightly stronger as far as most online bookies are concerned, but the difference is by no means insurmountable. Both a stalemate and a victory for Crystal Palace are still on the table.

The Eagles are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.20 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Things were looking quite bleak for Southampton on half-time of their previous Premier League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion . They were losing in an away game against a much tougher opponent but ultimately manage to scrape together a $RESULT draw, however, which isn’t a bad result at all.

Despite being considered slightly stronger than their opponents and having home-field advantage, The Eagles tied with Leeds United in their previous Premier League match.

Southampton’s fans are rather disappointed with what they’ve seen from their defence in recent home games. The previous three matches saw them concede 8 times, which is not a great look.

The Eagles have an excellent defensive track record at the moment with no concessions in their previous 3 home games. Although they’re playing without home-field advantage this Saturday, we would keep their rock-solid defence in mind for betting purposes.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Nathan Ferguson, Luka Milivojević, Michael Olise are the players that will be missing, which makes the Crystal Palace lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1.62 but is well worth the price.
