In the match of the last round “Glaziers” bounced off Tottenham, losing to “Spurs” on the road with a score of 1:4. With this defeat Crystal Palace ended their three-game streak unbeaten. Roy Hodgson’s team achieved an away victory over Brighton (2:1), after which they shared points twice at home: first with Fulham (0:0) and then with Manchester United (0:0). In general, the glaziers play no better at home than on the road. For 14 home matches, they earned 17 points and scored the same in away matches. However, Crystal Palace won at home not so often. In ten previous home games the London club have achieved success only twice, beating Sheffield United (2-0) and Wolverhampton (1-0). Goals in home matches are given to the glaziers with difficulty. In the last three matches Londoners did not score at all. Roy Hodgson’s team is now in 13th place in the standings. In 28 matches Crystal Palace scored 34 points, eight more than the outsider group. Crystal Palace has one of the worst league goals in terms of goals conceded at home, which equals to 22 goals. Due to injuries, defenders Nathaniel Cline, Tyric Mitchell, James Tomkins and Mamadou Sako, as well as midfielders Nathan Ferguson, James McCarthy and James MacArthur, goalkeeper Wayne Hennessy will miss the next match.
Last season Valencia experienced a serious recession, was left without European cups and received a new mentor, who was called up under the flags of the team in order to build a new combat-ready football club. The team started with a slip and at some point even managed to get close to the relegation zone. For 26 rounds of the current season of the Championship of Primera, the “orange” won seven victories and finished nine matches in peace, which brought 30 points and 12th position. On February 7th guests drew with Athletic (1:1), after which they lost twice and managed to get two victories with Celta (2:0) and in the last game with Villarreal (2:1). The line of attack of the team played very modestly, which only managed to hit the opponent’s goal 32 times. In the Spanish Cup, guests did not perform very successfully, where after two successful duels with Eklano and Alcorcon they lost to Sevilla (0:3), for which we made a prediction. Piccini, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today.
