Liverpool vs Crystal Palace prediction and betting tips on April 14, 2024
One of Sunday's fights within the 33rd round of the English Premier League will be played at Anfield, where Liverpool will take on Crystal Palace. We offer a prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp's team unpleasantly surprised last Thursday, when in front of the home crowd suffered a crushing defeat to Atalanta in the quarter-final stage of the Europa League. Of course, we all know how Liverpool can come back into the game, but it is worth admitting that the 0:3 result minimises the Reds' chances of playing in the semi-finals. The Merseysiders are second in the English league, behind Arsenal only on extra time, while Manchester City are one point ahead. Liverpool played an away game at Old Trafford last weekend, where they only drew 2-2 with Manchester United.
Crystal Palace
The Glazers have a difficult stretch of the calendar, as they have an away match against Liverpool following Manchester City. In the home game against the Citizens, Crystal Palace managed to score first in the 4th minute, but Oliver Glasner's side failed to hold off the City attack and lost 2:4. As a result, Crystal Palace are currently in 14th place in the APL standings with 30 points. Oliver Glasner's team is separated from the relegation zone by only five points and this handicap has reduced due to the recent results of the team. Thus, Crystal Palace are unable to win in five matches in a row (three defeats and two draws).
Interesting facts about the match and history of head-to-head meetings
- In the first round Liverpool defeated the Glassmen away with a score of 2:1
- Both teams scored in three of the last five matches
- After five consecutive victories on their home field, Liverpool lost in the match against Crystal Palace in August 2022
Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Nobody expected Liverpool's fiasco in the home game with Atalanta. Perhaps, after such a failure only a big win will help to restore faith in their own strength. Our bet is "Liverpool win with a handicap (-1.5)" with odds of 1.61.
