Crystal Palace were in significant danger of relegation a month ago, but a run of five wins in six games brought them much closer to safety, and the 3-0 win over Arsenal on Monday makes the players feel very confident. Leicester City are two points ahead of Crystal Palace in 11th place, and they will be tired after spending a lot of energy in the 1-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. This makes Crystal Palace clear favourites in this fixture against Leicester City.
Crystal Palace truly are in top form lately, beating their opponents comfortably thanks to great performances by Wildried Zaha, Christian Benteke and Andros Townsend. Their quick and fluent attacking football should be too much for the exhausted Leicester City to handle, and the odds on Crystal Palace are actually quite attractive at 1.72. However, Leicester City should score here – they found the net 12 times in the last five games. Therefore, the odds on over 2.5 goals (2.00) are especially promising.
