Leicester City Crystal Palace betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The home team will go up from its opponent from the opening minutes as they want to conquer the three points that will be essentials for their goal within the competition. The away team knows that it will not be easy to get a good result away from home, but hopes to be able to make a good start on the field and so fight for at least one point. Leicester is technically superior than the away team and we believe it will confirm its favoritism until the end of the 90 minutes of play.

Preview
Leicester City and Crystal Palace meet at King Power Stadium, in a match for the 18th round of the Premier League. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 22‑10‑2016, in a match for the Premier League, Leicester City won by (3‑1). The goals of the match were scored by A. Musa (42' ), S. Okazaki (63' ) and C. Fuchs (80' ), for Leicester City, and by Y. Cabaye (85' ), for Crystal Palace. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Crystal Palace presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Leicester

The home team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 26 points won, after 7 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Newcastle United, by (2‑3). In the last match, they won in an away match against Southampton, by (1‑4). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In the last 8 home league matches Leicester City has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 wins in the last matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Leicester is trying to get closer to the top of the competition and so tries to figure in the qualifying zone. In this round the team will play at home, therefore will have total conditions to look for a good result, even more to face a team technically inferior to its own. The team must present good football in the field if it wants to achieve its goal. In the last round the team ended up winning against Southampton, by (4-1). The coach is expected to take to the field a team with a very offensive tactical scheme.

Confirmed Lineup: Kasper Schmeichel, Danny Simpson, Ben Chilwell, Wes Morgan, Harry Maguire, Wilfred Ndidi, Riyad Mahrez, Iborra, Demarai Gray, Marc Albrighton, Jamie Vardy.
Coach: B. Rodgers.

Analysis Crystal Palace

The away team is currently in the 18th position of the league, with 14 points won, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against AFC Bournemouth, by (2‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Watford, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 7 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 20 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Crystal Palace has a record of 2 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 24 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 8 away matches. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (5 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 1‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 17 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 2 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Crystal Palace knows that this will be a very complicated game, by playing away from home and also facing a more qualified team, so the team has to be alert throughout the game. The team is at the bottom of the table and needs to look for points in these next rounds so it can move away from the relegation zone. In the last round the away team managed a good home win against Watford by (2.1). The coach should opt for a more defensive posture of play and will try to surprise in the counterattacks.

Confirmed Lineup: Julián Speroni, Martin Kelly, Jeffrey Schlupp, James Tomkins, Scott Dann, Yohan Cabaye, Andros Townsend, James McArthur, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha.
Coach: O. Glasner.
