Crystal Palace vs Leeds predictions, team news, betting tips, odds and Bet Builder

Selhurst Park stages a pivotal Premier League relegation six-pointer on Sunday afternoon as Crystal Palace welcome Leeds United for a 2pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports Cricket.

Palace approach the contest having “all but” secured survival, yet the mood around south London remains uneasy. Thursday’s 0-0 home draw with AEK Larnaca in the Conference League was greeted with boos, and the Eagles have prevailed in only one of their last 20 matches in all competitions. Their solitary home league victory since November came against Wolves, and with the return leg in Cyprus looming on Thursday, Oliver Glasner may rotate to keep key legs fresh.

Team news: Daniel Munoz and Cheick Doucoure face late fitness tests, while Eddie Nketiah is unavailable. A 3-4-2-1 is expected: Henderson; Canvot, Lacroix, Riad; Johnson, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Pino; Strand Larsen.

Leeds, three points above the drop zone, arrive desperate to capitalise on what the fixture computer has labelled a “friendly” run-in. Yet Daniel Farke’s men have been wretched travellers, collecting just nine points from 14 away fixtures—only Wolves have fared worse on the road. The Whites have, however, drawn each of their last four league trips and share the division’s highest away draw tally.

Team news: Joe Rodon and Sebastiaan Bornauw have been declared fit; Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor remain doubts. Predicted XI (4-5-1): Darlow; Justin, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Bogle, Stach, Ampadu, Longstaff, Aaronson; Calvert-Lewin.

Betting radar: Ethan Ampadu, booked seven times in 26 league outings, is 12-5 with bet365, Coral and Ladbrokes to see yellow again. Anton Stach—four goals in 23 starts and second in the squad for total shots—offers value at 5-1 as an anytime scorer with bet365, Betfair and Paddy Power.

Head-to-head trends: Leeds have scored first in five of their last six meetings with Palace, and both teams have netted in eight of Leeds’ last nine away league games. A red card has been shown in each of Palace’s last three Premier League fixtures, while only Bournemouth (11) have drawn more league matches than Leeds’ ten this term.

Odds: Palace 29-20, Leeds 2-1, draw 23-10.

With Palace’s focus potentially split and Leeds drawing six of their last 11 on the road, another share of the spoils looks the prudent play in a match neither side can ill-afford to lose.
