Crystal Palace hosts Burnley in round 24 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 13th at Selhurst Park (London)
Crystal Palace closed the previous round. On Monday, the Glaziers played against Leeds away. Initially, a visit to Elland Road did not bode well for Palace because it couldn’t count on a range of players (Schlupp, Hennessy, Sako, Ward, Tomkins, McArthur, McCarthy and, most importantly, its leader, Zaha). It is noteworthy that "Old Roy" included only six substitutes in the roster - he simply did not have more players at his disposal. Not surprisingly, a strong and motivated newcomer won the game, scoring a goal at the start of each half. It is rather surprising that before that misfire, the London team managed to gain two victories in a row (over Wolverhampton and Newcastle), seriously strengthening its positions in the middle of the standings.

Burnley had much less time to rest. Unlike their rival, the Clarets did not rest in the midweek - on February 9, they played against Bournemouth in the FA Cup. So, the voyage to London on Saturday will be their 3rd game in eight days. Due to a short roster and several injured players (even if there are fewer of them than in the opponent's camp), Sean Dyche will have to decide who will appear on the field on Saturday. It's good that Burnley managed to break away from the pursuers in January. Then the club beat Liverpool and Aston Villa one-by-one (and it broke the impressive streak of the Reds in their native arena). Yes, this streak was followed by defeats, but 0-2 with Chelsea and Manchester City did not become a sensation. Then the Clarets tied with Brighton at Turf Moor (1-1), although they had a clear advantage in ball possession and especially in shots on goal. The main thing is that Fulham is already 8 points behind after that draw.
We will see the meeting of two low-scoring teams, which will not be able to field their top scorers because of injuries. They usually don’t please the fans with goal extravaganza in their head-to-head meetings. And we will probably see no more than two goals in the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
