Liverpool will host Crystal Palace in the last game week of the English Premier League at Anfield in Liverpool on 23rd May 2021 at 20:30 IST. The odds are clearly in favor of Liverpool to beat Crystal Palace and make it to the Champions League next season.

Teams Status

Out of the 66 goals, Mohamed Salah has scored 22 goals just in the Premier League and is the joint top leading goal scorer along with Harry Kane. Three of their players are topping Liverpool’s assists list as Trent Alexander Arnold, Sadio Mane and Andrew Robertson with seven assists each.

Tipster’s Angle

A high scoring thriller is on the cards when these two teams play against each other at Anfield. Also, Liverpool has a better edge over Crystal Palace by considering the recent form that the teams are in.

Tip: Half Time/Full Time – Liverpool/Liverpool @ 1.53

In the last three head to head matches, Liverpool led at halftime and won the match in two of those matches. Liverpool won the last head to head match played at home and won the match 4-0 after leading 2-0 at halftime. In the 18 home matches that Liverpool has played, they have won the match after leading at half time in five of those matches. Even Crystal Palace lost a match after trailing at halftime in five of their 18 matches on the road. In the last match that Liverpool played, they led at half time and won the match. Also, Crystal Palace also had the same trend in the last match that they played. So, it is very likely that Liverpool will win at halftime and win the match at 1.53 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.37

These two teams have produced a lot of high scoring matches over the years as a total of 26 goals were scored in the last six head to head matches and over 2.5 goals were scored in five of those matches. Also, four of the last five matches that these two teams played against each other had over 2.5 goals scored in them. In the last seven matches that Crystal Palace played across competitions, over 2.5 goals were scored in five of those matches. In the last nine matches that Liverpool have played, over 2.5 goals were scored in five matches. Similarly, this also could be a high scoring match at 1.37 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Liverpool have a chance to make it to the Champions League with a win, but they still have a chance even if they don’t win and then hope that Leicester City drop points as well. While Crystal Palace will be playing for pride.
