Crystal Palace form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats. The fact that Crystal have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Crystal are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Crystal goalkeeper Vicente Guaita Panadero is eager to challenge this, with his 362 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Crystal play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting AFC Bournemouth (placed 18th). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Watford.
The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Crystal we find one game. Results are zero Crystal Palace wins, zero draws and one defeat.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Crystal have scored 16 goals in 15 league games away. 19 goals have been conceded by Crystal in these games.
