Crystal Palace v Stoke Betting Preview – Premier League 18th September
Crystal Palace will be looking to get up a head of steam now after winning their first game of the last season weekend. They took a victory at Middlesbrough to set themselves up with the chance of building some momentum now as they get a home game against the league’s bottom side on Sunday. They face up against Stoke who have shipped a ton of goals already this season and who aren’t producing going forward. Tough times for the Potters at the moment and need to start digging deep to get something on the board.

Crystal Palace v Stoke Betting Tips
Eagles boss Alan Pardew is breathing a little easier after the Eagles landed their first win of the season last weekend. That was a good away win too, in a 2-1 victory at the Riverside against Middlesbrough. So that put Crystal Palace up onto four points for the season from their four games played but notably, a big summer signing paid back some returns in that one. Christian Benteke opened the scoring in the game to get his scoring off to a start with the club and the Eagles will be hoping that he catches fire now. The former Liverpool man is running at a price of 11/8 in the anytime goalscorer market for the game. Christian Benteke has scored four goals and assisted one more in his last eight Premier League appearances, despite playing just 444 minutes in these games overall.
Crystal Palace are in decent form against Stoke too as they have own four of their last six Premier league games against them in a W4 D1 L1 record. So pretty solid. It’s been a while since the Eagles managed back to back wins in the top flight, they have not done that since December last year. This match up doesn’t have the look of goals particularly and therefore you can go under 2.5 goals for a price of 4/6 with online betting site United. As options in the correct score market you have a quote of 6/1 on Crystal Palace 1-0 result and that has happened in two of the last three between these at Selhurst Park.
Each of Crystal Palace’s last three home wins over Stoke have been produced by a one goal winning margin only. A Crystal Palace To Win by a 1 Goal Margin will return to a price of 5/2 which has to have some big appeal. The only win that the Potters have managed against the Eagles in the Premier League so far happened back in August 2013 and their last win on the road at Selhurst Park was even further back in October 2007. So the stats really aren’t there fore the Potters heading into this one at all. For Mark Hughes’ men been their lowest tally of points after four games of a Premier League season (1) with that point being collected on the opening day of the season against Middlesbrough.
Following that they have stumbled on three losses in a row and they have conceded an average of three goals per game in those matches. So frankly a terrible return from them and it’s hard to see them picking up a clean sheet wherever they go at the moment. Just to sum up how poor their defense has been, they have shipped 10 goals in four games this term. Last season, it wasn’t until their ninth game of the season that they shipped ten goals. At the moment Stoke are the only side in the entire Premier League not have been ahead at any point this season. They are in desperate straits here early on with confidence tanking and Mame Biram Diouf is a 3/1 shot in the anytime goalscorer market for them.

Crystal Palace v Stoke Predictions
Stoke are struggling and are looking very slack at the back. The Eagles should have taken confidence from their opening win to drive home another three points here. They won’t get much better of a chance you feel. Palace do have the attacking arsenal to take down the visitors and would back them to win this one by a one goal margin.
