Crystal Palace v Burnley Betting Tips – Premier League 13th January 3.00pm
This may be a good opportunity for Palace to claw their way further towards the safety of mid-table. They are well clear of any relegation issues at the moment after a dramatic change in fortunes and they are carrying decent form as they take on Burnley. The Clarets have had a fantastic season but there have been signs that they are starting to crack having gone winless in five and only one clean sheet in their last four. Can they dig out a morale-boosting win at Selhurst Park?
Crystal Palace News and Form
There has been one defeat in their last eleven Premier League games now for Crystal Palace and they have been having a terrific time of things since Roy Hodgson took over. They landed a 2-1 away win at Southampton their last league game to get further towards safety for the season. Palace are W3 D4 L1 in their last eight home games, Arsenal being the only visiting side to have won at Selhurst Park in that sequence. One thing which may hinder the home side a little bit is their growing list of injuries, and they lost Jeffrey Schlupp and Andros Townsend in their FA Cup loss against Brighton recently as well. Under 2.5 goals at bet365 is a price of 3/5* (Betting Odds taken January 9th, 2018 at 8.00pm) and should appeal. The Eagles have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight games at home, but the shortest priced option to find in the Bet365 correct score market is a Palace 1-0 at 11/2* (Betting Odds taken January 9th, 2018 at 8.00pm). Only once this season at home have Palace been leading and at the half time break and 72% of the goals they have conceded at Selhurst Park have been in the first half of matches. Just twice they have opened the scoring at home.
Burnley News and Form
The Clarets are searching for a win that would get them out of their winless streak which stands at five now in the league (D3 L2). During that sequence, they were thwarted out of a win at Old Trafford by a stoppage-time equaliser and then denied a point against Liverpool on January 2nd as the Reds struck in the final minute. The Clarets are four games without a win on their travels in the top flight, having drawn their last three. They have failed to score in three of their last four away games now though so there is a decent proposition in Crystal Palace to win to nil at Bet365 which is trading at a price of 2/1* (Betting Odds taken January 9th, 2018 at 8.03pm). Burnley have only been beaten twice away from home this season in part of a W4 D5 L2 record but they are averaging just a goal per game scored, while they have shipped exactly eleven away from Turf Moor as well. It is hard to expect a high scoring match to crop up whenever Burnley are involved. 73% of their away goals have been scored in the first half of matches while 73% of their away goals conceded have been in the second half of matches. Burnley have netted the opening goal in six of their eleven Premier League away games this season.

Crystal Palace v Burnley Predictions
Crystal Palace to win: We have gone from not even thinking about backing Palace to having full confidence in them to win home games like this. They are positive enough to take the game to Burnley who will try and hold out, but they have been lacking clean sheets and the Eagles can get the win.
