Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Following the arrival on the bench of Oliver Glasner last February, Crystal Palace showed great promise, which allowed it to take 10th place in the Premier League. The London team thus had legitimate ambitions for this new exercise. Unfortunately, the results have not been there so far. Still waiting for a victory, 3 draws and 3 defeats, Jean-Philippe Mateta's teammates are currently only 18th. After sharing the points with Chelsea 1-1, Leicester 2-2 and Manchester United 0-0, they fell again to the poorly ranked Everton last weekend 2-1. After 9 years of romance with the club and the fans, Jürgen Klopp has decided to leave his post this summer.

The task for his successor Arne Slot looked immense, but the Dutch technician is meeting expectations. Indeed, the Mersey club today occupies the lead in the Premier League with 1 point ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal. Victorious in their first 3 league matches, the Reds were then surprised at home by Nottingham Forest 0-1. They have resumed their march forward since with successes against Bournemouth 3-0 and Wolverhampton last weekend 1-2. This week, Liverpool got the better of Bologna 2-0 and therefore started their Champions League campaign with 2 victories.

Crystal Palace must deal with the withdrawals of defenders Riad (rookie), Richards (starter) and Holding (substitute), the important midfielder Doucouré and the disappointing attacking midfielder Matheus França. The English internationals Guehi, Wharton and Eze (1 goal in PL) obviously play a major role. The latter forms the attacking trio with the rookie Nketiah (0 goals in 3 PL matches) and the Tricolore Mateta (2 goals in PL). On the Liverpool side, the interesting midfielder Elliott and the Italian winger arrived at the Chiesa club this summer, injured.

Again a scorer this week in the Champions League, Mohamed Salah (4 goals and 4 assists in the PL) is having a very good start to the season. On the other wing, takes place the elusive Luis Diaz (5 goals and 1 assist in PL). Replacing against Bologna in C1, the Portuguese Diogo Jota (1 goal and 2 assists in PL) could this time be preferred to the Uruguayan Darwin Nunez (1 goal in PL).
