Crystal Place vs Liverpool 29/10 – Betting Tips Premier League
Can Liverpool Maintain Title Winning Form?
LEAGUE: English Premier League
GAME: Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
LOCATION: Selhurst Park
DATE: Saturday 29/10
TIME: 18:30
In 47 previous meetings between the teams, Liverpool have won 23 times, Crystal Palace have won 13 times and there have been 11 draws.
Last weekend, Liverpool narrowly missed out on going top of the Premier League and will be hoping to reach the summit soon, if their good form continues. Having been held at home in a frustrating 0-0 draw by Manchester United, Jurgen Klopp’s team needed to show more going forward in their following match against West Bromwich Albion. A great team goal, finished off by Sadio Mane was soon followed by a nice near post strike by Philippe Coutinho and West Brom, despite scoring a late goal, couldn’t respond.
Crystal Palace lost 3-1 to defending champions Leicester City last weekend and that leaves them with just one win from their last four matches in the Premier League. Having defeated Sunderland and drawn with Everton, both away from home, Alan Pardew’s team were on a run of five games without a defeat. However, the loss at Leicester, proceeded by the 1-0 defeat at home to West Ham, leaves Crystal Palace stuck in mid-table.
Tips
We have looked closely at the following aspects of this match, which offer good betting value:
- Winner
- Both Teams to Score
- Anytime Goalscorer
Crystal Palace Present Tough Opposition
Over the past few seasons, Crystal Palace have made life difficult for Liverpool when the two teams have met. Liverpool have won only two of the previous six meetings between the teams in all competitions and who can forget the famous 3-3 draw in the Premier League in May 2014? Palace may not have enough to win the game but they certainly have enough to take a point.
Game Tip: Draw is 4.1 at Unibet
Rare Clean Sheets
Recent matches between Crystal Palace and Liverpool have seen both teams struggle to prevent the other from scoring. You must go back to April 2005, to find the last time one of them has kept a clean sheet and both teams have scored in the eight matches played since then. Furthermore, both teams have found clean sheets difficult to come by this season.
Game Tip: Both Teams to Score – Yes is 1.7 at Bet365
A Striker with a Point to Prove
If there is one player in this match who has a point to prove to the opposition, it’s Christian Benteke. Having joined Crystal Palace from Liverpool in the summer transfer window, the Belgian striker ended a torrid 12 months of his career at Anfield, during which time he will feel he was never given a proper chance. Benteke will be determined to put the record straight.
Game Tip: Christian Benteke to Score Anytime is 3.5 at Bet365
