Crystal Palace form and stats

The visitors are W6-D3-L9 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

"Man of the match" Townsend served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 18 successful passes (of 22 total).

Palace have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 18 league away games 21 goals have been scored. Palace have conceded 32 goals in these games.
