Leicester vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips (15 January)

As expected, the return to the elite is proving complicated for Leicester, which is now ranked 19th in the Premier League with 2 units of expenditure on the first non-relegation team. Stuck in a negative spiral for several weeks now, the Foxes have won only one of their last 12 championship matches, for 2 draws and 9 defeats. They remain on losses suffered against Newcastle 4-0, Wolverhampton 0-3, Liverpool 3-1, Manchester City 0-2 and Aston Villa 2-1. Last weekend, Leicester hosted Queens Park Rangers in the upcoming FA Cup. Crystal Palace is currently 15th in the Premier League and is 5 points ahead of the first relegated team.

Long stuck in the red zone, the London team has raised the cursor since the end of November, which has allowed it to move up the rankings. Indeed, the Eagles have only lost against Arsenal in the last 9 days, for 3 wins and 5 draws. After getting the better of bottom-placed Southampton 2-1, they managed to hold off Chelsea 1-1 at home. Last weekend, Crystal Palace hosted Stockport County in the upcoming FA Cup.

Several elements are missing from Leicester this week. This is the case of goalkeeper No. 1 Hermansen, midfielder Ndidi, interesting wingers Fatawu and McAteer as well as replacement full-back Ricardo Pereira, all on the flank. Former Montpellier Mavididi (3 goals in PL) found the net on the last day. He is applying to start this Tuesday just like Buonanotte (4 goals and 2 assists in PL) and Vardy (6 goals and 3 assists in PL).

The Crystal Palace coach records the withdrawals of important midfielders Wharton and Hugues as well as long-term absentee Matheus França. Up front, we should find the Frenchman Mateta (5 goals in PL) who has been Crystal Palace's best scorer since the start of the championship. In support, the influential Eze (2 goals and 3 assists in PL) and Sarr (4 goals and 2 assists in PL) should take their place.
