What Is Winning To Nil And Its Strategies?

3y ago

The Eagles are low on form and motivation at the moment, due to back-to-back drubbings, but they still maintain a respectable league standing due to patches of form here and there. However, the next few matches are crucial for Roy Hodgson’s men, and bad results in those fixtures could see them sucked into a relegation battle.

Leicester, in contrast, have enjoyed a solid start to the season, and this is reflected by their high standing on the league table. The Foxes, though, have dropped more points than boss Brendan Rodgers would have liked in recent weeks, and he’ll be eager to avoid a repeat of that, this time around.

Crystal Palace vs Leicester City Team News

Crystal Palace fell to a disappointing 0-3 away to ten-man Aston Villa, and boss, Roy Hodgson will be worried at his side’s recent slump in form.
The Eagles fell behind to an early Bertrand Traore goal, and were unable to capitalise on Tyron Mings’ sending off late in the first half. Further goals from Kortney Hause and Anwar El-Ghazi ensured it’ll be a day to forget for Roy Hodgson’s men.

Crystal Palace have now gone four league games without a win, and have only won just once in their last seven. The Eagles have conceded a combined ten goals in just their two most recent matches.

And coming against a Leicester side that are impressive in front of goal, especially when playing away from home is not something The Eagles will fancy.

Last time out in the EPL, Leicester City managed to rescue a point against high-flying Manchester United. The Foxes fell behind to a Marcus Rashford goal midway through the first half, but were soon level, thanks to a Harvey Barnes.

Man United thought they had gotten the winner when Bruno Fernandes slotted home with ten minutes left on the clock. But a Jamie Vardy strike, deflected into his own net by defender, Axel Tuanzebe, ensured Leicester would get a share of the spoils.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are placed third on the standings with twenty-eight points from their opening fifteen fixtures, although they have recently struggled for form in the league. The Foxes have won three of their last six league matches, but they have also drawn twice and lost once in that period.

It goes without saying that Leicester City have the second best away in the league, behind Man United, with six wins from their seven matches on the road this term.

Crystal Palace, in contrast, have struggled to win games at home, and have managed only seven points from eight games at Selhurst Park this season.

The Eagles concede an average of two goals per game while playing at home, and with Leicester’s average away goal record well above two goals per game, we could be set to witness a goal fest in this one.

Crystal Palace vs Leicester Predictions

Despite Leicester City being heavy favorites to come out on top in this one, we would rather steer clear from backing them for an outright win. Also as mentioned earlier, Crystal Palace are among the league leaders when it comes to goals conceded.

As such, they could let in a few goals against a Leicester side that have no problems finding the back of the net. Taking these into consideration, a wager of no less than two goals between both sides should yield good returns.
