The Glaziers lost 1:2 away to Leicester in the last round. This is the second in a row defeat of Roy Hodgson’s charges to the representative of the first four. On the previous tour Crystal Palace also lost at home to Chelsea with a crushing 1:4 result. Two consecutive defeats did not greatly affect the London club’s standings. Glaziers have already secured a decent advantage over the relegation zone. Now the team has settled on the 13th line. At the moment, Crystal Palace has 38 points and at the same time, Hodgson’s wards have played less than the group of outsiders. We must say that in the last home games Londoners lost less often. Crystal Palace have lost only twice in six previous meetings at Selhurst Park. In addition to the retirees, the team lost to Burnley (0:3). During this period they managed to beat Wolverhampton and West Brom with the same score 1:0 and ended in a draw with Fulham (0:0) and Manchester United (0:0). In general, in 16 home games of the current championship, the glaziers have achieved only five victories, drew five more times and lost in six matches. It should be noted that Crystal Palace has one of the worst defensive lines in this championship. So far, the London club have conceded 54 goals. Only Southampton, West Bromwich and Sheffield United have worse performance. The owners’ infirmary is full. Defenders Gary Cahill, James Tomkins and Mamadou Sako, as well as midfielders James MacArthur and Nathan Ferguson, striker Connor Wickham, will not play due to injuries.
After defeating Southampton in the National Cup, the Foxes have played two successful matches in the Premier League. Brendan Rogers’ team alternately beat West Bromwich with a score of 3:0 and Crystal Palace with a score of 2:1. Thanks to these two victories, the Leicestershire team increased the lead over their pursuers to four points and from fifth position to seven points. Leicester continues to occupy third place in the league standings. The team has good chances to take not only one of the sets of medals, but also a ticket to the Champions League. One of the main trump cards in the game of the current Leicester is the attack. At the moment, the “foxes” have already sent 60 goals to the opponents’ goal. Only Manchester, who occupy the first two steps in the Premier League table, scored more goals. On the road, Brendan Rogers’ charges are one of the best teams. In 16 away matches of the championship, the Foxes achieved ten victories, drew four times and lost twice. This is now the third indicator in the current championship. Leicester will have injured midfielder Harvey Barnes and two defenders James Justin and Wes Morgan. So, what is the soccer bet prediction for today?
