On October 5, 2024, Liverpool will face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in an English Premier League matchup. The Reds are heavy favorites to win the match. The Reds have been consistently good under their respected management, and their record is so good that they are in championship contention. With Salahn, Diaz, and Jota up front, Liverpool’s assault is dangerous to any team. Furthermore, Liverpool is a dangerous opponent because of their robust defence, which the dependable Van Dijk and Allison support in goal. Liverpool is the clear favourites because of their superior talent and recent form, even if Crystal Palace have the benefit of playing at home.
The curious tendency of an equal number of goals scored in encounters between Crystal Palace and Liverpool has historically been a feature of these matchups. Including Crystal Palace’s historic 2-1 triumph in their most recent meeting, four of the previous five meetings have concluded with an equal number of goals scored. This was a huge morale booster for Palace and proof that they could fight with the best in the league after their rare victory over powerful Liverpool. We should expect a similar result in this match because of this pattern and since both clubs have shown the capacity to score goals while retaining some defensive stability. As a result, a tie of two or one goal looks likely, with Liverpool’s talent being the deciding factor in their victory.
