The match

Crystal Palace will be back at home hoping to arrest their downward spiral when they face another struggling side, Leicester in the Premier League. These two sides are two points apart, Crystal Palace in 12th place with 27 points and Leicester City 17th on 25 points. Palace failed to rise from the sacking of manager Patrick Vieira, falling 4-1 to Arsenal right before the international break. That defeat left them just three points above the relegation zone and with a -16 goal difference. They have four straight defeats heading into this game and have no win in 13 straight matches. Crystal Palace last won a game in December 2022, beating relegation-threatened AFC Bournemouth. The Eagles have eight losses in those 13 matches and in their last five matches, they failed to score in four. Roy Hodgson is back at the team for a second stint and in his first game on return, will be expected to inspire the team.

Leicester City will go into this game also seeking to rise from their recent slump. It hasn’t been a great season by their standards and here they find themselves just a point above the relegation zone. Anything but a win could see them drop into the red zone. In their last game, they came from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Brentford. Just like Crystal Palace, they have a poor run defensively, with just one clean sheet in the last 10 matches. That clean sheet was against lower league side, Walsall, in the FA Cup. They however have a better scoring run compared to their hosts here, having failed to score in just two of the last five.

Key Statistics

  • Leicester City have failed to score in two of their last five matches.
  • Crystal Palace have failed to score in four of their last five matches.
  • Crystal Palace have no win in their last 13 matches.
  • Leicester City have failed to win any of their last six matches.
  • Eight of Crystal Palace’s last 10 matches have had under 2.5 goals.

The bet of our experts

Roy Hodgson is expected to turn Crystal Palace’s fortunes, but that will take some time. Their scoring run has been poor and this is where Leicester City will want to take advantage. The visitors have a better scoring run and in the Crystal Palace v Leicester City game, we are backing the away side to win.
