Crystal Palace V West Brom Predictions & Betting Odds

Crystal Palace v West Brom Betting Tips – Premier League 13th May 3.00pm

It was all out of West Brom’s hands in the end. They were relegated in midweek without kicking a ball as Southampton book a win over Swansea in a big survival battle at the Liberty Stadium. So the Baggies are down and they make a trip to Selhurst Park to face the in-form Crystal Palace whose surge of form saw them safe before the final day.

Crystal Palace News and Form

Crystal Palace are on a five-match undefeated streak of league form at the moment (W2 D3). They have produced some really positive stuff and have fired themselves up to mid-table safety. They can relax at Selhurst Park and are likely to go and express themselves just because they play a high-intensity game. Each of their last four at Selhurst Park have produced at least three goals so it’s worth a look at over 2.5 goals with William Hill for 17/20 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 6:10 a.m.). Palace have scored eight goals in their last two home games, a 3-2 success win over Brighton and a 5-0 over Leicester. They are on a five-match scoring streak at Selhurst Park but their defence can’t wholeheartedly be trusted, not for clean sheets anyway. Both teams to score may be worth a flutter in this one. Palace haven’t taken a clean sheet in any home game against a side currently in the bottom half of the table this season. Overall they have managed a clean sheet in just 17% of home fixtures. Wilfried Zaha has been spectacular for them since his return from injury and just is at the centre of everything that the Eagles come up with. He’s worth a look in the anytime goalscorer market.

West Brom News and Form

The Baggies almost pushed their survival hopes to the final weekend but it fell short in midweek as Southampton beat Swansea. Despite fighting back to go W3 D2 in their last five games, Southampton’s victory at Swansea in midweek relegated the Baggies. The Baggies have not taken an away win against any side currently sitting twelfth and lower. The Eagles are 11th heading into the weekend. There have been only the three wins on the road for West Brom this season and two of those have been in their last two games, both 1-0 successes at Manchester United and then Newcastle. In the William Hill correct score market the shortest priced option is a 1-1 draw at 13/2 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 6:10 a.m.) while another 1-0 for West Brom would bring 12/1 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 6:10 a.m.). The Baggies have an overall away record of just W3 D4 L11 and they have tallied only the ten goals.
They are, however, on an eight-match scoring streak home and away in the top flight. The improvement has just come too late for them. A half-time 0-0 may be worth looking at as the Baggies have been at the scoreline in sixteen matches this season in total.

Crystal Palace v West Brom Head to Head

Back in December when neither were in form there was a predictable 0-0 produced between them at the Hawthorns. In the last five Premier League meetings things are even between Crystal Palace and West Brom though with two wins each and a draw. West Brom did win this corresponding fixture last season 1-0. Four of the last five meetings have ended under 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in just one of those.
