Crystal Palace - Southampton betting tips and odds

Crystal Palace are definitely more likely to win, though all three possible results are quite reasonable to expect. This makes it hard to make reliable betting predictions when this match is concerned, though we may find some betting value.

While Southampton may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.70 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Crystal Palace’s confidence must be high after what we witnessed in the last round against Everton . They were slight favourites and had an advantage as hosts, but that alone cannot explain the way they kept ahead of their opposition for the entire game and bagged a 3:1 victory.

Although The Saints’s defeat in the previous round was a fairly painful 3:0, we can’t say that it was unexpected. They were vastly outmatched by their opponents Arsenal, who spent the entire match ahead.

Crystal Palace are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Southampton lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

Placed at 16th in the standings, The Saints could stand to put some more distance between them and the relegation zone. With a good chunk of the season still ahead of them, there’s more than enough time left to climb the table. That said, the odds are against them in this matchup, so even a single point would be more than welcome.

These two teams met in the previous season, and things went quite poorly for Crystal Palace. They lost the game to a considerable goal difference. However, the 2.18 betting odds for a home win make it clear that the teams’ forms are quite different this time around.

Southampton will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Fraser Forster, Alex McCarthy, Stuart Armstrong will all be unable to perform.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 2.10, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
