Burnley’s latest attempt to earn a first home point of the season sees them entertain Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon. With Palace suffering from a lengthy injury list, this could represent an excellent chance for Vincent Kompany’s men to finally get off the mark at Turfmoor.
If you are interested in the sports betting odds for this game, you will not want to miss this article. Our expert tipsters have studied the formbook and key stats to bring you their exclusive predictions for this huge fixture.
Eight defeats in ten matches was not the start Vincent Kompany was hoping for in his first season of Premier League management. Worse still, the Clarets have lost all five of their home games so far, conceding 16 goals in the process. Kompany’s open style of play proved hugely effective during Burnley’s Championship title run last season, but that approach is proving far too easy to defeat in the top flight. If Saturday brings yet another defeat, it might be time for Kompany to rethink his strategy.
After their famous win at Old Trafford, Palace have picked up just one point from their three subsequent games. A lengthy injury list has been the main issue for boss Roy Hodgson. Palace are still without up to eleven first team squad regulars, a situation that is showing few signs of easing.
It will take all of Hodgson’s managerial experience to steer Palace through the next few weeks. Despite Burnley’s awful home form, Palace are likely to be happy with a point from their long trip North.
Burnley are unbeaten in their last five fixtures against Palace, although the last two games between the teams have finished all square. The last Palace victory at Turfmoor was a 2-0 success in November 2019. The Clarets lead the Premier League head to head by 6 wins to 5.
Palace are slight favourites for the game. The betting apps are currently pricing them at 17/10 for the win. The hosts are available at 2/1, with the draw best priced at 23/10.
Thanks to Palace’s injury list, these are two evenly matched sides. That means our betting bonus tip for the game is a draw. On paper this presents a great chance for Burnley to finally get a home win. However, Roy Hodgson will use all his experience to stop the home side and we think he will be able to do enough to secure a precious point for Palace.
