Welcome to Extratips, folks! Today, we're diving into the upcoming Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Liverpool. The game kicks off on September 27th at 14:00 in England – a classic London vs. Merseyside tussle. Palace, sitting in 8th, are hovering around mid-table with 5 points, riding a modest recent form, while Liverpool, in 3rd, are eager to climb higher after a perfect three wins lately. The Reds have looked sharp, especially with a 1-0 win over Arsenal boosting confidence.

Looking at the odds, Bet365 puts Liverpool slightly ahead at 1.91 for the win, Palace at 3.90, and a draw at 3.50. The odds suggest a close game, with Liverpool just edging it. Both teams to score is quite attractive at 1.62, hinting that both defenses might leak or that at least one side will find the net.

Historically, the head-to-head shows a balanced affair—last time, they drew 1-1, and previous matches have seen both sides score regularly. Palace’s last five home games show a mix of 2 wins, 2 draws, and just 1 loss, while Liverpool’s away form lists 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. Expect a competitive game with chances at both ends.

Palace’s recent strengths include disciplined defense and decent set-piece threat, but they often struggle with quick counterattacks. Liverpool's key assets are their sharp attack and midfield control but may find it difficult to break down Palace’s resilient backline.

Key factors? Injuries in both squads might influence tactics, but Liverpool’s attacking quality should shine through. Palace will look to frustrate and hit on the counter.

A compelling storyline? Will Liverpool's recent winning streak continue or does Palace’s home advantage hold sway? Also, can Palace cash in on set-pieces against Liverpool’s sometimes shaky defending?

Possible predictions:

  • Liverpool to win, both teams to score, over 2.5 goals.
  • Draw, no BTTS, under 2.5 goals.
  • Palace to win with a clean sheet.

Stay tuned for my cheery insights and hopefully some clever bets. Now, onto the predictions!
