Crystal Palace take on the visitors Liverpool in the English FA Community Shield. The match will be played on Sunday, August 10th at Wembley Stadium (London).
Crystal Palace managed to deliver the long-awaited result, which some are now trying to partially diminish. The “Glaziers” have long been established as a solid mid-table side in the Premier League. But over time that status became tiresome, and it was no surprise when Hodgson, who delivered decent but modest results, was moved on — the club wanted more. Vieira disappointed, and there were also plenty of questions about Glasner, especially at the start of last season when little seemed to work. In the end, though, the situation stabilised. Most importantly, the London club went all the way in the cup and, by defeating Manchester City in the final, claimed the first major trophy in their history! However, due to shared ownership with Lyon, there were attempts to strip the English side of the right to play in the Europa League. And perhaps for that reason, they were in no rush to sign new players, limiting themselves for a long time to taking in Borna Sosa. Preseason form has been mixed, with notable wins offset by heavy defeats against stronger opposition. Nevertheless, Glasner’s men have shown they can raise their game in big matches, which keeps optimism high among the fans.

Liverpool in 2024 brought an end to Klopp’s long and successful era. There were fears about how badly the project might decline without Jürgen. Instead, Arne Slot immediately lifted his new squad to an undisputed 1st place in the Premier League. Yet there were setbacks — a penalty shootout loss to PSG in the Champions League after a 1-0 win in Paris, and a defeat in the League Cup final. Furthermore, the summer saw the departures of Alexander-Arnold and Luis Díaz, while Jota tragically passed away. Unsurprisingly, the Dutchman received unprecedented reinforcements. The standout signing is, of course, Wirtz. But other arrivals — Frimpong, Kerkez, and Ekitiké — also cost a great deal, and then they went in for Isak as well. Liverpool’s preseason has been dominant, with fluid attacking displays and a high-scoring output in almost every match. Slot’s side appears to have quickly integrated the new signings, creating one of the most balanced and dangerous squads in Europe.
The “Reds” have managed only two wins in their last six official encounters. Moreover, they even suffered a defeat once to their modest London opponent. Slot’s men look like the clear favourites. But the giants tend to treat this trophy with a relaxed approach, whereas for the London “Eagles” it is a unique step. The bet is on “total over 3.0 goals.”
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
