Palace have the motivation and the class
The Premier League is finally back after the inevitable international break. Palace still need to pick up a few wins to avoid becoming embroiled in a relegation battle. This is their chance to pounce.
Keeping up the pace
Palace shouldn’t fool themselves considering there’s only five points between them and Cardiff in the drop zone, even if there are a few teams lying in between. As long as that imminent threat of relegation is there I don’t see Palace turning off the pace they’ve shown as of late.
This is an excellent chance as well for Palace to further distance themselves from that bottom of the table tumble that their northern opponents Huddersfield find themselves clearly on the losing end of.
Abysmal away record
The fact remains that Huddersfield are simply shocking away from home in the Premier League this season. They’ve only racked up 1 win against 3 draws and 11 defeats.
It’s not just the away record that you need to consider here. Huddersfield have been firmly rooted to the bottom for some time now. They had a close one in their 4-3 loss away to West Ham but that really was a flash in the pan.
Betting tip
Don’t expect Palace to give it up on home turf. They’ll get the job done but I’m not satisfied with a straight win bet so I’m adding an over 1.5 goals to this match to push the odds up from 1/2 (1.50) to 20/21 (1.95).
