Palace Can Ease Relegation Fears
Crystal Palace’s results are undershooting performance having enjoyed a positive swing earlier in the season.
Crystal Palace can’t buy a win at the moment. Outside of the FA Cup they haven’t won since mid-December but remarkably the Eagles are still clear of the relegation zone.
Much of this has to do with their strong start to the season and even though their form has dipped their underlying numbers are still strong.
Palace currently lie ninth in Paul Riley’s expected goal difference model and should start moving clear of the relegation zone.
On Wednesday they were undone by a last minute equaliser at Sunderland but they can make up for that disappointment at home to Liverpool.
As per usual Liverpool are at their inconsistent best, so I wouldn’t give too much weight to their mid-week win. Three tough games in quick succession could catch up with them and Palace can ease their relegation fears with victory at 14/5 (BetVictor).
