On Saturday, Crystal Palace are hosting Burnley for the Premier League 24th matchday. Crystal Palace want to get closer to the first half of the table. While Burnley aim at distancing themselves from the red zone.
Crystal Palace are well established in the soft belly of the Premier League. For the moment, the Eagles stand in the13th place in the English championship. They have a nice lead over the red zone, since they are fourteen lengths from the first relegation. After winning only one in 9 games, Wilfried Zaha’s teammates reacted with two straight wins against Wolverhampton (1-0) and against Newcastle (1-2). Last Monday, they fell back into their pits conceding setback on the Leeds pitch (2-0). With two wins in their last three days, the Eagles now in challenge against Burnley.
Having been eliminated from the FA Cup (2-0) by Bournemouth, the Clarets have no longer won since three championship gamedays. A delicate situation when moving to Crystal Palace. More to their advantage last year, Burnley are now only 17th in the Premier League. Nevertheless, the team seems to be well on their way to maintaining themselves since they are 8 points ahead of the red zone. In the bottom of the rankings this season for long, the Clarets have been able to raise their level of play to run away from the relegation.
Burnley themselves, with a generally good physical form and organization, do neither excel in the attack. In three of the last four games, Sean Dish’s team has left the field without scoring a single goal. In this meeting, I bet on a total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.65 in 1xBet.
