Crystal Palace vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips (24 February)

Crystal Palace is in difficulty this season and is now only 15th in the Premier League with 5 points ahead of the first relegation team. The London team has been moving at a snail's pace for several weeks. Indeed, Jordan Ayew's teammates have only won 2 of their last 14 league matches, for 4 draws and 8 defeats. After losing to Brighton 4-1 and Chelsea 1-3, they took a point at Everton last Monday with interim manager Paddy McCarthy on the bench 1-1. Eliminated from the FA Cup, Crystal Palace is focused on remaining in the Premier League. Not at the level for its return to the elite, Burnley is currently 19th in the Premier League with only 13 points taken in 25 games.

The promoted player should therefore have a lot of difficulty avoiding the drop of 7 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation place. Without much solution, the Clarets have not gleaned any success over the last 7 days, 2 draws and 5 defeats. However, they were not spared by the calendar during this period. Burnley remains on the back of losses suffered at Liverpool 3-1 and against Arsenal last weekend 0-5. Like their opponent of the day, Vincent Kompany's men only have the championship to play for in this 2023/2024 exercise.

Several elements are missing for Crystal Palace this Saturday. This is the case of captains Eze (5 goals), Olise (6 goals and 3 assists in PL), Guehi (defender) and Cheick Doucouré (midfielder), replacement defender Holding and young midfielder Rak-Sakyi, all injured. Furthermore, the participation of midfielder Will Hugues is not assured.

The attacking trio could once again be composed of Jordan Ayew (3 goals and 5 assists in PL), Edouard (6 goals in PL) and Mateta (3 goals and 4 assists in PL). This winter, Crystal Palace enlisted the full-back Munoz (Genk) and the very promising midfielder Wharton (19 years old, Blackburn) who were both starters on the last day.
