Burnley vs Crystal Palace Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview
Burnley entertain Crystal Palace at Turf Moor this Saturday. Read the match predictions to find out why a draw is the betting tip for this Premier League match. The hosts were clinging on for dear life to draw 0-0 at Old Trafford last weekend while Crystal Palace were beaten at home to Liverpool in a 2-4 thriller.
Burnley vs Crystal Palace Preview
Burnley are still without Steven Defour and Ashley Barnes is also likely to be missing for the visit of Crystal Palace. Steven Ward picked up another injury last time out and is expected to be replaced by Jon Flanagan at left-back. Sam Vokes and Andre Gray will lead the attack for the Clarets.
Crystal Palace will welcome Jason Puncheon and Andros Townsend back to the starting XI here. Alan Pardew is without injured trio Pape Souare, Loic Remy and Jonathan Benteke. Christian Benteke will be a real menace for the hosts as he strives to add to his 3 goal tally for the Eagles.

Burnley vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Burnley have done reasonably well so far and have given themselves a good shot at beating the drop on the back of their start to the season. Having beaten Watford 2-0, they recovered from back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Southampton to beat Everton 2-1. They managed to keep Manchester United at bay last week and head into this game having lost just once at home this term.
Crystal Palace are on a bad run after three successive defeats. They went down 0-1 at home to West Ham and got hammered 3-1 away to Leicester. That was before going toe-to-toe with Liverpool and being out-scored. This is a big game for the Eagles and with the welcome of Manchester City on the horizon, they’ll be desperate to stop the rot.
As dogged as Burnley were in defence last week, I can see them conceding to a forward-thinking Palace side here. However, although the Clarets have struggled for goals, they should find a way through the visitors’ porous defence and I can see this one ending in a score draw.
