Leeds vs Crystal Palace Predictions

• Leeds have scored only 12 goals in 13 Premier League games
• Palace have scored at least once in their last eight league matches
• Leeds have won once in six at home this season
• The Eagles have scored twice or more in four of six away games

Low-scoring Leeds

Marcelo Bielsa’s side have played some brilliant football since arriving in the Premier League, but they’re not delivering in front of goal right now. They are one of just four sides yet to score more than twice in a single Premier League game this season.

They’ve scored only 12 goals across their 13 games this season, which isn’t helped by the absence of Patrick Bamford. Saturday’s 0-0 with Brighton put their scoring issues on full display, which could cost them against Palace.

Eagles hitting new heights

While Leeds’ are struggling after keeping faith in their approach, Crystal Palace are reaping the rewards of their change. Patrick Viera’s side may have been beaten by Aston Villa on Saturday, but that was their third loss in 13 this term.

The visitors have been particularly impressive on the road, where they’ve picked up results at West Ham, Arsenal, Burnley while they won 2-0 at Man City. Crystal Palace have scored at least once in each of their last eight league games, which suggests they can get something at low-scoring Leeds.

Palace the value play

Leeds have won only once in six home games this term, while they’ve suffered five defeats overall. They look vulnerable against a Palace side who are clearly more adventurous, having scored twice in four of their six away trips this season.

Palace have proved themselves at top sides this season and their away record has been impressive considering they’ve already visited all of the current top five. Facing fourth-bottom Leeds is a great chance for the Eagles to get more points on the board, so I’m backing an away win and a 2-1 victory for Palace.
