Crystal Palace take on the visitors Southampton in the round 14 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 29th at Selhurst Park (London).
Crystal Palace are lacking consistency. The Glaziers have started a new project in 2021, relying on Patrick Vieira, who is still quite young as a coach. And accordingly changing the composition, saying goodbye to a number of veterans. The first results, the 2021/2022 season, showed quite noticeable progress. Now there are also good episodes, but they alternate with failures. Suffice it to recall the results of the last rounds of the Premier League performed by this team: it was able to win at home against Leeds and Wolverhampton with a draw on the Leicester field. But on Saturday it was 0-3 at Everton, after which the Eagles slipped back into 12th place.

Southampton finally managed to improve results. The Saints were considered an interesting team, with good scouts and a talented coach, Ralf Hasenhüttl. It seemed that the last necessary element for success appeared now, in the form of a new, rich and ambitious owner. Dragan Solak really spent quite actively during the summer "window". But after a decent start (7 points after 5 first matches, including a victory over Chelsea), Soton started the autumn with 4 defeats in a row. But from mid-October there was a new, more optimistic segment. First it was drawn 1-1 with such a strong opponent as West Ham. Then a victory came out at all, over Bournemouth - an early goal by Che Adams was the only one. And last weekend, it was Southampton who managed to trip the leader of the Premier League, London's Arsenal - in the middle of the 2nd half, Armstrong answered Xhaka's goal, and it all ended 1-1.
Crystal Palace and Southampton have seen parity in recent years. Moreover, they alternately defeat each other, occasionally diluting it with draws. Crystal Palace, playing at home, are seen as the favourite. But Southampton have recently improved. However, he does not play spectacularly, so you should look at the "under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
