Match Preview – 17:30 Kick-Off at Selhurst Park, London

Say what you like about Sam Allardyce’s style of play and methodology; the former England manager gets results. His Crystal Palace team have won 6 of their last 9 Premier League games, including fantastic victories over Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. Their form has pushed them right up the table into 12th position alleviating any relegation worries for the Eagles.

Burnley have just 1 win in 12 games and though their results have been generally strong at Turf Moor, they are the Premier League’s worst team away from home and remain the only side in the division yet to win a game on the road. Burnley have only scored twice in their last 6 games – in fact, they are the Premier League’s third lowest scorers this season.

A late Ashely Barnes strike sealed a last gasp 3-2 for Burnley when the sides met in the reverse league fixture between the pair back in early November. Read our match prediction, selected bookmaker odds and our Crystal Palace vs Burnley betting tips below.

Crystal Palace vs Burnley Predictions

Burnley’s away record this season cannot be ignored – zero wins from 17 on the road is an appalling return for Sean Dyche’s men. That statistic coupled with Crystal Palace’s stellar recent form means that the home side are strong favourites to win on Saturday evening. In 5 of Palace’s last 6 games, there have been over 2.5 goals scored, while in 5 of Burnley’s last 6 ones, there have been under 2.5 goals scored – something has to give.

While Burnley rarely win, they hardly ever get thumped, so Bet365’s odds of 11/4 for Crystal Palace to win with under 2.5 goals scored looks a cracking price. Ladbrokes have odds of 8/11 for there to be under 2.5 goals in the game if you want to err on the side of caution.
