Match Preview

Quite a few football prediction sites considered Frank De Boer amongst the favourites to be fired first in the Premier League this season, but nobody expected the Dutchman to go after just four games. Crystal Palace sacked their manager following a disastrous start, as the Eagles failed to score and lost all their fixtures: 3-0 to Huddersfield, 1-0 at Liverpool, 2-0 to Swansea and 1-0 at Burnley. There were rumours that the players didn't like the tactics imposed by their boss and actually tried to get him lose his job as quickly as possible. Now that De Boer is gone, it is likely that the Eagles would try harder, as we show in our Crystal Palace vs Southampton preview.

The visitors are not having any luck in attack either under the new manager Mauricio Pochettino. They might have won 3-2 versus West Ham, but failed to score in all the other games, drawing 0-0 with Swansea and Huddersfield and losing 2-0 at Watford in a result that had upset a lot of live football odds. They can hardly be trusted in our Crystal Palace vs Southampton predictions.

Crystal Palace vs Southampton Predictions and Betting Advice

The Saints are still looking for the new style, and luckily for the Argentinian boss, he is unlikely to follow De Boer and get sacked. The pressure is on the hosts, and they are hardly be described as underdogs in this fixture. Fifth defeat in a row is unlikely, and we should take into account that there were no draws between the rivals since 2008. This remarkable piece of stats makes our Crystal Palace vs Southampton betting tips easier to make, and the odds on the away win are magnificent at Betway at 7/5.

With both teams having huge problems scoring, it is quite unlikely that we should witness a lot of goals here either. The rivals found the net just three times between them in 720 minutes of football! Both teams failed to score a goal in sixteen of their last nineteen matches in Premier League. On the same note, Southampton have conceded just one goal in their three most recent away games. Given the defensive style of both teams, we expect them to actually focus on keeping clean sheet. Southampton is way too powerful for Crystal Palace, but the hosts will not attack much, so Under 2.5 goals seems to be the best decision.
