Crystal Palace take on the visitors Leeds in the round 32 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, April 25th at Selhurst Park (London).
Crystal Palace are not shining right now - it seems that they have lost the motivation to play, fight. In general, Patrick Vieira's first year after returning to England, already in the role of a coach, and not a player, turned out to be quite good. He even managed to reach the semi-finals of the Cup with his young wards. But there, last Sunday, the London team was unable to offer serious resistance to the favorite - Chelsea. And in the Premier League, it seems, the Palace are simply waiting for the end of the season. Fortunately, the 37 points scored will definitely be enough to avoid the risk of relegation to the Championship. If 1-2 with Leicester after a 5-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League was written off as preparation for the cup final, then 0-1 with Newcastle seems to signal that football is gradually starting to be supplanted for players plans for the upcoming summer holidays.

Leeds were able to add in time and save themselves from the risk of going to the Championship. Marcelo Bielsa will forever remain a cult mentor for the legendary team but he was eventually replaced by Jesse Marsh at the end of the winter. The decision was controversial: the American never played in England, and failed in 2021 at RB Leipzig. The first 3 matches and under him, Leeds lost, but gradually managed to turn the tide. Back in March, it was possible to beat not only Norwich, but also Wolverhampton, and in April this was added to by a draw with Southampton and 3-0 with Watford.
The teams exchanged home wins last season. The trend was continued by Leeds in this season, with Rafinha's late goal from the penalty spot beating Crystal Palace 1-0. Milivojevic and Ferguson will not play for Crystal Palace. Leeds will not be able to use Bamford and 2-3 other players. The bookmakers see Crystal Palace as the favorite to play at home - but they are out of shape now while Leeds have been gaining momentum.
Prediction for the match: Leeds to win +0.5 handicap.
