Leeds vs Crystal Palace Match Preview

Leeds hosts Crystal Palace for the 30th matchday of the English Premier League

Great midweek win for Leeds, they prevailed 2-1 at home to Nottingham. They found themselves behind in the score early on but reacted quickly, and after initially equalizing, they were lucky in the injury time of the first half to complete the turnover. In the replay, they were also the better side on the pitch and with proper management of the match kept the lead until the end celebrating three very important points.

Thus Leeds reached 29 points after 29 matches and are in 16th place in the Premier League, two points above the danger zone.

Finally a victory for Crystal Palace! In Roy Hogson's debut on the bench, they beat Leicester at home 2-1 and took their first three pointer for 2023 after 12 matches. The guests were the ones who opened the scoring first, but in the replay, the quick equalizer gave Palace the psychological boost, and in the end, they were awarded by scoring the winning goal in stoppage time.

With this victory, Crystal Palace took a big breath reaching 30 points and climbing to 14th place in the ranking.

This is an important match between two teams that have the same goal, to avoid relegation. Both come from significant victories in substance and psychology and want a similar continuation today. I expect an open match with many chances and goals, my choice is the Over 2.5 goals alternative at 2.15 odds.
