Crystal Palace vs Leeds United Prediction


Both teams are a perfectly balanced 4-4-4 in their last 12 meetings and both teams to score – yes has hit in their last three meetings.

In this Crystal Palace vs Leeds United Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. Crystal Palace has ten more points than Leeds and three more total wins and have lost only once in their last five games, having won outright three of them. They have also been very strong on the road lately, with a 5-1 record in their last six road games, while Leeds has been struggling lately, with just one win in its last seven matches. Crystal Palace had an extra mid-week game for the UEFA Conference League, but they have been in far better form and have the second-best defense of the Premier League, so I would expect them at least to not lose today. Take Crystal Palace PK (Draw no Bet) in this one.
