Premier League: Crystal Palace vs Liverpool - Betting Tips, Odds & Prediction

Two unbeaten Premier League sides are set to lock horns on Sunday morning as Liverpool travel to Selhurst Park for a Sunday morning battle against Crystal Palace. Liverpool have five wins out of five so far, while Palace have won two and drawn the other three.

The two sides met in the curtain raiser of the season as the Eagles went on to beat the reigning Premier League champions on penalties and claim the Community Shield in August.

Can Liverpool flip the script this time around? Let’s have a deeper look into this clash and check the best football picks across New Zealand betting sites.

Crystal Palace

Oliver Glasner continues to dazzle at Crystal Palace after leading the club to their first-ever major trophy last season. The FA Cup champions have played eight matches across all competitions this season, and are yet to taste defeat.

Crystal Palace saw off West Ham at London Stadium last weekend, thanks to goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell.

The best sports betting apps in NZ are showing increasing faith in Glasner’s men and they seem set to throw a formidable challenge to the Reds once again.

Team news: Ismaila Sarr will be available to play this match, but Yeremy Pino may well miss out with a knee injury.

Predicted Lineup: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Wharton, Hughes, Munoz, Mitchell; Sarr, Kamada, Mateta.

Liverpool

It can’t be said that Liverpool were at their best over the past five games, but they still did enough to come away with maximum points.

Arne Slot’s men faced Everton in an intense Merseyside derby at Anfield last weekend. They had a dream start. Goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike gave them a two-goal cushion in the first half, but the Toffees came up with a strong response in the second half and nearly snatched away a point.

Slot should be pleased to see his team overcoming hurdles like these, but equally, the Dutchman will expect to see a more composed performance from his team on Sunday.

Team news: Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, Ryan Gravenberch, Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk should report for duty after sitting out the midweek EFL Cup clash against Southampton.

Predicted Lineup: Alisson; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai; Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Isak.

• Liverpool have won their last two visits to Selhurst Park.
• Only six goals have been scored in the last five Crystal Palace-Liverpool games in the Premier League.
• Both teams scored in each of the last two Crystal Palace-Liverpool games.

The last seven games between these two teams have all been nail-biting affairs, decided either by a single goal, or penalties.

Liverpool have been quite effective in attack so far this season. They have scored 16 goals in seven matches across all competitions, with big-money striker Alexander Isak scoring the debut goal for his new club against Southampton in the EFL Cup.

However, they are coming up against one of the most disciplined defences in the division. The Eagles have conceded only twice in the league so far, and across all competitions, they have let in only three in seven games.

Our expert football tip for this match, therefore, is to expect a low-scoring draw.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Liverpool @ $8.00

Crystal Palace and Liverpool have already played out a draw this season. Their Wembley clash ended at two goals apiece, but we are expecting a tighter affair at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

Palace’s star centre-back Marc Guehi has fully concentrated on his Palace responsibilities after his summer move to Liverpool collapsed. Palace have been incredibly tough to break down, but we still see Liverpool scoring once in this game.

The hosts should be able to score as well, given Liverpool’s defensive troubles. All things considered, the $8 payout for successfully predicting a one-all draw on Bet365 is too hard to walk away from.
