A total of 26 league fixtures are finished and Crystal Palace are 9 points in front of Burnley. Who wins?
- Crystal Palace have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Burnley have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's no vacation for neither Palace nor Burnley as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Crystal Palace form and stats
Crystal Palace have played 13 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-5-4 (wins-draws-losses). Game days at Selhurst Park have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Crystal Palace as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
A good away victory last time out for Palace, who won 4-1 against Watford (placed 19th). The attacker Zaha was named "man of the match" for Crystal Palace with the rating of 8.72/10. Zaha scored two goals, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 35 successful passes (of 43 total).
Preceding that match was a defeat to Chelsea (0-1).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Crystal Palace have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the FA Cup game versus Stoke City in only three days. This game is also played here at Selhurst Park.
Palace have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Selhurst Park with 21 goals in 13 league matches. On the other hand, Crystal Palace have conceded 16 goals.
Burnley form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Burnley so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-6 (win-draw-lose).
Burnley have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Nick Pope. It's been 230 minutes since they last conceded in Premier League.
Burnley are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the fixture against Tottenham Hotspur (placed 8th). Mee was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.43. The defender Mee scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 5 of 7 duels.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Brighton & Hove Albion at their stadium, the result 3-0.Burnley are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, four draws and two defeats. From a total of ten matches.
After this away game Burnley return home for a Premier League game against Leicester City. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Burnley when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 12 league matches away. Burnley's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This happened when the teams faced each other previously this season; Burnley - Crystal Palace 3-3. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Crystal Palace victories, one draw and five Burnley wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
