Before Betting On Crystal Palace vs Burnley

A new era begins at Selhurst Park this weekend, as Oliver Glasner takes charge for the Eagles for the first time since replacing Roy Hodgson. Palace come into the weekend sitting five points clear of the relegation spots, but they have lost three of their last five matches. They did end a troubling run of results in their previous match after playing out a draw at Goodison Park against Everton.

Huge pressure remains on Burnley, but they are yet to show any kind of sign that they have the quality required to move clear of the relegation spots. The Clarets have suffered defeats in three of their last four matches in the Premier League, and they have picked up just two points from the last five matches in the competition.

Palace ended a five-game winless run against the Clarets in the reverse clash this term after landing a 2-0 win at Turf Moor. However, Burnley’s overall record in this fixture remains fairly solid, as they have suffered just two defeats in seven visits to Selhurst Park. Both losses that they have suffered came in 2018.

Burnley have won to nil in each of their last seven victories away from home in London. Meanwhile, they are winless in 22 visits to the capital in which they have conceded. Their most recent win with both teams finding the net was recorded at Stamford Bridge in August 2017.
