Command Analysis
Crystal Palace
EnglandCurrent Form
Crystal Palace has had a disappointing start to their Premier League season. After six matches, the London side remains winless with just three points, placing them 18th in the relegation zone. The Eagles are struggling in attack, having found the net only five times, ahead of only Southampton, who have scored three.
In their last match, Oliver Glasner's team faced Everton away from home. There were hopes that the Eagles would secure their first victory, especially since Everton has struggled at the season's outset. However, they suffered a 1-2 defeat. Despite leading at halftime, Palace conceded twice immediately after the break. Interestingly, Everton had only two shots on target, both of which resulted in goals.
Overall, it can't be said that Crystal Palace is entirely hopeless. At times, the team displays exciting football, creating numerous scoring opportunities in almost every match. However, they have moments where they fall out of the game and experience inexplicable lapses in defense.

Due to injuries, Richards, Doucouré, Riyad, and Franca will not participate today.

Liverpool
EnglandCurrent Form
As the seventh round approaches, Liverpool stands as the sole leader of the Premier League. The Merseysiders capitalized on Manchester City's missteps and lead by a single point, with Arsenal trailing closely behind by the same margin.
In the six matches played so far, Arne Slot's squad has only stumbled once, unexpectedly losing at home to Nottingham Forest 0-1. In their last two fixtures, Liverpool first secured a home victory against Bournemouth, winning 3-0, then followed with a 2-1 win away at Wolverhampton.
This week, the Merseysiders achieved their second win in the Champions League, defeating Bologna 2-0 at home. Mohamed Salah continued his prolific form, scoring again, having racked up four goals in the Premier League and one in the Champions League.
Liverpool's solid defense deserves mention. It’s clear Arne Slot has made significant improvements as the team has conceded only two goals in six matches.
Injuries and Suspensions
Elliott will be absent today due to injury, as he has not featured on the pitch for some time.
Interesting Betting Trends
- In their last ten Premier League matches, Liverpool has suffered only one defeat (with eight wins and two draws)
- In four of their last five matches across all competitions, Liverpool has won the first half
- In six of the last seven games involving Liverpool in the Premier League, at least one team has failed to score
Projected Lineup: Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson – Gravenberch, Mac Allister – Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz – Jota.

1.59Tip and bets
Crystal Palace has often challenged Liverpool, and in their latest encounter, they pulled off a narrow victory with a score of 1-0. However, a surprise result seems unlikely this time. The Eagles have been underperforming since the season began, regularly faltering defensively, which could allow the visiting team's fast-paced attack to exploit these weaknesses. Additionally, the London squad has struggled offensively, netting just five goals in six league matches. We believe the bookmakers' favorite is likely to secure another three points with ease today.
Our prediction is a Liverpool victory with an Asian handicap of (-1) at odds of 1.84
Total Bets
Under Slot's management, Liverpool has shown remarkable defensive strength, allowing only two goals in their last six matches. It seems unlikely that Crystal Palace, struggling with their attacking line, will manage to breach the solid defense of their superior rivals today.
The second bet is on Crystal Palace's individual total goals being less than one, with odds of 1.67.
Exact Score Margin Bet
Since the start of the season, Liverpool has played nine competitive matches, securing eight victories. In five of these matches, the Merseysiders have won by a margin of one to two goals, which we anticipate will happen again.
Prediction - Liverpool to win by a margin of one to two goals, with odds of 2.20.
