Football Betting Tips – Back Crystal Palace to be Relegated

With the international break in full swing, Sportingly Better tipster Jonathan Day takes a look at the Premier League relegation market after seven games.

Take a quick look at the Premiership table and it might surprise you to see Newcastle, Everton and Stoke occupying three of the bottom five places in England’s top flight.

Whilst Everton’s opening fixture run has been tough, the Toffees will undoubtedly kick-on despite the distraction of Europa League football this season.

The common consensus is that Burnley will fill one of the places, but is there any value in any other football betting tips for the two remaining places?

Newcastle (4.00) are still winless in the Premier League, but Alan Pardew’s side did at least offer some encouragement with a 1-1 draw against Swansea last time out.

The third worst defensive record in the league will need to be quickly improved upon, even if Papiss Cissé can find the form that launched Newcastle as Champions League hopefuls a few seasons ago alongside Demba Ba.

A renaissance of Hatem Ben Arfa could prove key as could getting the best out of summer signings Remy Cabella and Emmanuel Riviere, but expect their relegation price to get bigger before it gets shorter with Tottenham and Liverpool two of the Magpies next three opponents.

QPR at 1.66 remain too short to get involved. Harry Redknapp’s early experiment with a three man defence has failed and the west London club are in early danger with a lack of goals being scored at one end and a porous defence at the other both concerning.

 Look for Harry to get involved in the January transfer market to give the Loftus Road outfit a chance to pull themselves out of the drop zone.

It’s Crystal Palace (3.00) though who remain the most intriguing bet.

Neil Warnock’s last shot in the Premier League ended somewhat unfortunately in relegation with Sheffield United and a case for Palace to get relegated is not without merits.

Marouane Chamakh’s goalscoring heroics last season look unlikely to be replicated, with summer capture Fraizer Campbell likely to fall short too.

Crystal Palace’s rigid foundation under Tony Pulis is more exposed under Warnock’s more open outlook and Scott Dann’s injury could highlight the Eagles shortcomings at the back still further.

 With Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool on the horizon, don’t expect Crystal Palace’s football betting odds to get any bigger this season.
