Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 5th October 2024

Anything but a win for The Reds on Saturday will be a disappointing outcome, when faced with relegation-threatened Crystal Palace. The Premier League leaders should be able to strut their stuff at Selhurst Park.

Liverpool have taken the lead in the Premier League after collecting 15 points from their initial six encounters. The Eagles trail them by three points after six rounds, leaving them as number 18 in the table.

Crystal Palace should hardly be a problem for Liverpool, who aim to consolidate their position as top dog in the Premier League standings.

When it comes to goal-scoring The Eagles could be more prolific, scoring 18 times in their previous ten games. That is an average of 1.8 goals per game in which, they conceded 11 times. This is an average of 1.1 a game, achieving a clean sheet in three games.

Liverpool show off splendid stats in their last ten matches, where they hit the target 2.3 times on average per game. They scored 23 goals and conceded nine, an average of 0.9 a game. They held on for a clean sheet in five of these.

Crystal Palace beat Liverpool by 1-0 in their most recent match, while Liverpool claimed a 2-1 win in the match prior to that.

Crystal Palace Form

Judging by their last three matches, we can expect a bit of everything from Crystal Palace at the moment. Against Queens Park Rangers, they came out on top in a 1-2 win, before drawing 0-0 against Manchester United. Most recently, they were left reeling in a 2-1 defeat against Everton. Crystal Palace claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored 13 and conceded four goals.

The big goal of the season for Liverpool has to be winning the title, with a place inside the top two expected as the Premier League action starts to unfold.

A runners-up spot is the absolute minimum Liverpool should achieve for a season in which a tilt at league glory is their top priority.
