Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace surprised everyone last time out, winning 1:0 away at Brighton. As a result, the club’s lengthy winless run in the Premier League came to an end, having drawn three times and lost six. It was also only the second time in the last 11 matches that the team have kept a clean sheet. Crystal Palace sit 13th in the standings, with a healthy nine-point cushion over the nearest side in the relegation zone. The club’s games have also been the lowest-scoring in the league, with an average of 2.2 goals per match.
- No more than two goals were scored in six of the last eight Premier League matches involving the London club.
- At home, Crystal Palace have failed to win in seven straight league games (three draws and four defeats).
- The team have not scored more than one goal in their last seven home Premier League matches.

Burnley
Burnley come into this game on the back of two consecutive defeats to nil. First, they were thrashed 3:0 away at Sunderland, before losing 2:0 at home to West Ham last time out. That means the team’s winless run in the league has grown again and now stands at 16 matches (five draws and 11 defeats). As before, Burnley remain in the bottom three and are already 11 points adrift of the safety of 17th place. It is also worth noting that the team have scored just 25 goals, with only Wolverhampton worse in attack, having managed 16. The club are also the league’s worst for goals conceded, with 49.
- Both teams scored in nine of the team’s last 11 away Premier League matches.
- Burnley are winless in seven straight away Premier League games (two draws and five defeats).
- Exactly two or three goals were scored in each of the club’s last five away league matches.
Potential Burnley Lineup (4-5-1)*
Martin Dubravka – Maxime Esteve, Bashir Humphreys, Lucas Pires, Kyle Walker – Hannibal Mejbri, Lesley Ugochukwu, Florentino, Marcus Edwards, Jaydon Anthony – Zian Flemming.
Burnley’s injury list includes forward Zeki Amdouni, defender Connor Roberts, and midfielders Mike Trezor, Josh Cullen and Louis Beyer.

Crystal Palace vs Burnley: Match Prediction
Two sides meet who have been among the lowest-scoring teams in the Premier League this season. Goals do not come easily for either, so we do not expect more than two in this one. Crystal Palace have not exactly impressed in front of goal even at their own ground and, across their last seven home league matches, have scored just three times. And with first-choice goalscorer Jean-Philippe Mateta missing, the hosts are unlikely to produce a goalfest even against a struggling side.
However, the London club do not concede much either — in their last eight matches at their own stadium, they have shipped more than once only against two Manchester clubs and also against Chelsea. Burnley have not scored more than one goal in their last six away Premier League matches. No more than two goals were also scored in six of the last eight league head-to-head meetings played at Selhurst Park.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
* For each team, the starting XI listed is from its last match in this competition.
