On Saturday afternoon, Crystal Palace host Southampton at Selhurst Park in the Premier League, as both sides look to get back to winning ways in the top-flight.
Crystal Palace have lost their last two top-flight outings against Liverpool and Watford. However, the Eagles did win 1-0 at Championship Swansea in the League Cup in midweek.
The recent league defeats ended a run of seven games unbeaten in the top-flight for the Eagles, who will be looking to get back on track in this clash. The home side’s most recent top-flight games have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches in the Premier League.
Roy Hodgson’s side has a mixed recent record at Selhurst Park in the Premier League, although the Eagles have won three of their last four home games in the top-flight.
Conceding goals on home soil in the top-flight has been a major problem for the Eagles of late, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six games.
Southampton have started their Premier League campaign in poor fashion, picking up just a point from their opening three top-flight games. In fact, the Saints have now won just two of their last 15 games in the Premier League.
Like the Eagles, Southampton got back to winning ways in midweek in the League Cup with a 1-0 win at Brighton.
Although their last two league games have produced over 2.5 goals, five of their last eight games in the top-flight have produced under 2.5 goals.
The Saints away record is poor in the Premier League, as the south coast side has won just two of their last 18 games in the top-flight. Their recent away games in the top-flight have been low scoring.
Forebet predicts that Crystal Palace will record a victory in a high scoring clash to add to the Saints woes.
