Liverpool v Crystal Palace Betting Preview – Premier League 19th August 3.00pm
Liverpool had to battle to earn a point at Watford last weekend and theywill have question marks over their defence already being drawn up. However, they are a good attacking side and with the defence of Crystal Palace failing so badly last weekend as they were trounced by the newly promoted Huddersfield, the Eagles don’t quite look as if they are up for this kind of tough task that is ahead of them on the weekend, despite some recent form against the Reds.

Liverpool v Crystal Palace Betting Tips
Well, it looks pretty much like the same old Liverpool. Brilliant in the attack, dismal in defence. There was some dreadful stuff at the back from them in their 3-3 draw with Watford on the opening weekend of the season and in midweek they couldn’t pick up a clean sheet in the Champions League against Hoffenheim. So both teams to score at bet365 in this one looks stacks of value at a price of 10/11 and that has happened in each of the last four games between these two at Anfield. So you have a trend of goals in this fixture. Liverpool look fantastic going forward and they have great options with Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi who are joint 6/5 anytime goalscorer favourites for this game. In the bet365 correct score market, a Liverpool 2-1 correct score is a nice 8/1 punt and you can back the Reds at 10/3 to win by a two goal margin in this one. Strangely though, the Reds are on a three match losing streak at home against the Eagles in the Premier league. Is another shock on the cards?
Palace will want to get last weekend behind them as quickly as possible. They were demolished in a 4-0 defeat on home soil by Huddersfield. Not the greatest of Premier League managerial starts then for Frank de Boer in his first game in charge. He is clearly trying to do something different with Palace, get them playing football on the deck, but there is a steep learning curve. Not helping them out is that Wilfried Zaha is a doubt for this one, but Christian Benteke is a 12/5 anytime goalscorer option at bet365 for the visitors. Both he and Zaha were unlucky not to score last weekend. Like Liverpool then, Palace have clear defensive issues, just as they did last season when they only managed the six away games all term. Despite their good form against Liverpool W4 D1 L3 in their last eight against them, punters will have a very hard time trusting them. After such a demoralising loss last weekend at home against a newly promoted side, it would be a massive shock if they pulled off another win at Anfield.

Liverpool 4/11, Draw 23/5, Crystal Palace 10/1
Liverpool v Crystal Palace Predictions
Liverpool to win: The Reds will play their first home game of the season on Saturday and they will probably be celebrating three points from it. They have such a big attacking threat and Palace’s defence was non-existent last week. Liverpool to win and both teams to score looks a good option.
