Crystal Palace - Southampton betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Crystal Palace as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Southampton winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The odds are stacked heavily against Southampton here, and we can’t see them winning this match. The Eagles are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.10.

When it comes to Crystal Palace’s previous Premier League clash, things went the wrong way from the off. They were never the favourites to claim an away win (3.10) but it’s fair to say their fans did not expect to see them lose Everton. They fell behind in the first half and the game was already settled.

The odds were stacked against Southampton in their previous Premier League match against Arsenal despite their home-field advantage. Top bookies were still giving them 1.49odds to win, and records show that they played from behind for most of the runtime. They snagged an unexpected equaliser in the late game and walked off with a single point for the tally.

Crystal Palace could have certainly had a better start to the season, but there’s thankfully plenty of time to make it up. The first thing to do is move up from number 13th on the table by securing 3 points in this favourable matchup.

Southampton’s only goal this early in the season is to put some more distance between them and the dreaded relegation zone. They’re currently number 16th in the standings, though, with some difficult matchups coming up.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
