Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool: Match Prediction
In the current championship, only two teams remain unbeaten, and they will face each other in this round. Crystal Palace has not lost in the Premier League for 11 matches (4 wins, 7 draws). Notably, in the previous tournament, Crystal Palace lost at home 6 times, but 3 of those were by a narrow margin.
Liverpool has a five-match winning streak in the Premier League, though luck played a role. They won against Newcastle and Burnley with goals in stoppage time, and a late strike in the 88th minute secured three points against Bournemouth. Away from home, their last three victories were by a single goal margin.
Crystal Palace gave Liverpool a tough fight last season (0-1, 1-1). I believe Liverpool will face challenges again. My prediction: Crystal Palace with a handicap (+1)
