CPFC vs LFC Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Crystal Palace are at 11/2, a draw is at 7/2, and Liverpool are at 4/9.  

Palace will start this match in the middle of the table in 12th place and with 15 points so far.  They had traversed as high as fifth at one stage, but they have fallen in recent weeks due to losing three of the last four and only collecting one point in that span.  It’s the kind of run that will have them looking over their shoulders nervously, and they will hope they can turn it back around sooner than later, even if they have a solid seven point gap over the 18th placed side right now.  

Liverpool will have few worries right now, even if they have some injuries to account for.  They are on top of the league, unbeaten through 12 games, by eight points over closest chasers Leicester and Chelsea.  They have only drawn once so far, their only dropped points, and that has to have them starting to think that this finally their year.  With that said, it has to be a case of one match at a time, as they have come undone at Selhurst Park in the past and will not be too keen upon a repeat.  

The Eagles’ home record so far this season has not been all that impressive at all.  In six outings, they have two wins, two draws, and two losses for a very square look.  In their last two outings, they have no points and have just one win from their last four there.  As for Liverpool, they have gone unbeaten on the road so far, even if they have struggled a little more when outside of Anfield.  The Reds have five wins and a draw, to Manchester United, and will look to increase the wins tally here.  

Ladbrokes have the Reds winning and keeping a clean sheet at 6/4.  

Betfair have Mane scoring anytime at 2.1.  

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Prediction

Liverpool have a ton of matches coming up soon, and they will know that they can’t afford to start slipping now.  They don’t allow that to happen, and they go on to win here at the Eagles in the end.  

Correct Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-2 Liverpool

Crystal Palace Team News

Roy Hodgson only has the likes of striker Connor Wickham and defender Mamadou Sakho out with injuries to limit his choices here at home to his former club.

Crystal Palace Key Man

Palace don’t have much attacking diversity, with just four goal scorers, so that heaps a lot of pressure on the back of players like Jordan Ayew.  The unconventional Ghana striker has scored four times so far and will look to be a nuisance on the break to strong and sturdy Liverpool back line.  If they do happen to earn a penalty, they will be glad they have Luka Milivojevic there.  The icy cold midfielder seems to score a bundle of them every season, and he will hope he gets a chance to slot one past Alisson here.  

Crystal Palace Team Form

Palace have three losses, a draw, and a win in their last five matches:

2-0 loss at Chelsea
0-2 home loss vs Leicester
2-2 draw at Arsenal
0-2 home loss vs Manchester City
1-2 win at West Ham

Crystal Palace Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-5-1

Liverpool Twam News

Jurgen Klopp has a few worries to contend with here, as the likes of left back Andy Robertson and winger Mo Salah look set to miss out.  Joel Matip remains out in defence along with Nathaniel Clyne, while Xherdan Shaqiri is on the mend but unlikely to play a big role.  Jordan Henderson and Joe Gomez had to pull out of England duty, but they each might be able to play a role.

Liverpool Key Man

Liverpool have had 13 different men find the net so far, more than anyone else, and one of them is Sadio Mane.  The Senegal man can score a goal for the fifth consecutive match against the Eagles here, and he will have a great chance to do so as he’s collected seven so far to his name.  Out wide, the service will be coming from the tireless Trent Alexander-Arnold.  After a so-so international break for England, he will be looking to come back with a vengeance against the Eagles and add to the three assists he has so far.  

Liverpool Team Form

Liverpool have four wins and a draw in their last five matches:

3-1 home win vs Manchester City
2-1 home win vs Genk (UCL)
1-2 win at Aston Villa 
5-5 home draw, penalty win vs Arsenal (EFL Cup)
2-1 home win vs Tottenham

Liverpool Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-3-3

The name Crystal Palace will drum up a sense of dread in many fans of the Reds, but this year is a lot different than years past. Liverpool are on a real tear of late, and they have been controlling Palace well in their last few meetings. That doesn't mean this trip will be easy by any means, but it does give them hope that they can keep that streak up. Even with some key members out, you've got to like the resilient Reds to continue their winning ways.

Having been a bogey team of sorts for Liverpool in the past, Palace have lost each of the last four against the Reds now.
