Crystal Palace vs Leicester City: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Crystal Palace and Leicester City square off against each other on Saturday afternoon at Selhurst Park on Premier League Matchday 4. Both teams are searching for their first League win of the new season.
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace’s performance in the new season can be described as underwhelming compared to the end of last season by winning six of their final seven games and drawing the other. Palace have failed to win any of their new Premier League games as they tasted back-to-back defeats to Brentford and West Ham United on Matchdays one and two. Before the international break, Palace avoided a 14th successive Premier League defeat against Chelsea as they came from a first-half goal behind from Nicolas Jackson to manage a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.
The Eagles will hope to rediscover their home form and get their first win of the new season after boosting a final four home league games win last season, scoring at least two goals in each match during the run.
Leicester City Preview & Form
Leicester have endured a challenging journey to their top-flight campaign as they have remained winless in the last three matches. The Foxes earned a hard-earned point against Tottenham in their first match at the King Power Stadium, showing their resilience against a strong opponent and ending the game 1-1. However, they couldn’t maintain their form and suffered their first away defeat to Fulham, with the match ending 2-1. Before the international break, the Foxes suffered their second successive defeat to Aston Villa.
The Foxes have failed to demonstrate the requisite quality to survive in the Premier League, as they have been wasteful in front of goal when they get the chance in their previous games. Although they have managed to score a goal in each of their league games.
