Crystal Palace Prediction
Crystal Palace produced mixed results prior to the international break as The Eagles secured wins against Leicester City and Burnley but they also tasted defeat against Manchester United and Brighton, with the London club still not fully assured of Premier League safety ahead of this clash at Selhurst Park.
Indeed, Crystal Palace have their form away from home to thank for in recent weeks as they’ve won four of their last six matches on their travels with wins at Manchester City, Wolves, Leicester City and Burnley, while at home, The Eagles have managed just one win out of their last seven matches on home turf – a 2-0 win against doomed Fulham.
Four defeats within this seven-match sequence at home to Chelsea, Watford, Manchester United and Brighton have prevented Roy Hodgson’s side from confirming their top flight safety, but this of course could all change with three points against a poor travelling Huddersfield Town unit on Saturday.
Crystal Palace’s home record of 3-4-8 11/17 is in great need of a boost, and there won’t be a better opportunity to improve this record than against Huddersfield here. Midfielders Milivojevic (9 goals) and Townsend (4 goals) have supported forward Zaha (8 goals) well this season, and he now has Batshauyi (2 goals) helping him out up front.
- Crystal Palace have won just 1 of their last 7 matches at Selhurst Park
- Crystal Palace have won the last 3 meetings with Huddersfield Town
- Huddersfield Town have lost 8 of their last 9 matches away from home
Huddersfield Town Prediction
Huddersfield Town’s prolonged agony at the foot of the Premier League table could be helped along a little closer to confirmation of relegation should they fail to avoid defeat at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
The Terriers showed rare signs of life a few matches ago when they registered a surprise 1-0 win over Wolves at their John Smith’s Stadium, but the Yorkshire club have since reverted to type as they’ve lost their last three matches on the trot in the Premier League with defeats to Brighton, Bournemouth and West Ham.
Although Huddersfield’s opponents, Crystal Palace have won just once in their last seven home matches, this fixture still represents a tough ask of Jan Siewart’s side as they’ve lost eight of their last nine matches on their travels amidst a poor away record of 1-3-11 11/33.
Only Fulham (40) and Bournemouth (35) have conceded more away goals than Huddersfield Town so far this season in the top flight, and with just two clean sheets under their belt on the road all season, The Terriers look destined for another defeat here in London.
Betting Tips Verdict
Crystal Palace should still account for a poor Huddersfield unit here despite their average run of results at Selhurst Park in recent weeks.
