Sunderland vs Crystal Palace Betting Tips and Predictions

Sunderland v Crystal Palace predictions and betting preview with three tips for this week’s Premier League fixture on Tuesday 1^st March.

 

Sunderland host Crystal Palace at the Stadium of Light this Tuesday night in one of the biggest games of their season so far, can Sunderland give themselves survival hopes and drag Crystal Palace closer to the bottom three?

 

Sunderland vs Crystal Palace Predictions

 

Sunderland will be disappointed they couldn’t build on their four points from two games away at Liverpool and at home to Manchester United when they played West Ham at the weekend. They lost that game 1-0 but signs were still there that they could manage to escape the drop. They know now that draws aren’t really going to help that much, and will want to win all of their remaining home matches to stand the best chance of staying in the Premier League. They’ll certainly fancy themselves against a Palace team who’ve been in freefall since Christmas and don’t look like winning a game anytime soon.

 

Crystal Palace have lived two seasons within one it seems. After an excellent first 19 games of the season they were in the top six and looking like potential European Place contenders. Since Christmas, they’ve picked up three points in the league and haven’t won. The only games they have managed to win have been in the FA Cup, something which has turned into their main focus. They do need to keep an eye on the league however, as they are in relegation form, and if they don’t turn results around soon they may find themselves in the midst of this battle with teams who’ll have a lot more confidence than they do.

 

My first Sunderland vs Crystal Palace prediction is for Sunderland to win. In their last home match they beat Man United 2-1, and certainly played better than their league position states. They know how important this match is, and I’m sure Big Sam will have his team well motivated and instruct his team to really take the game to Palace, as their lack of confidence is evident. They do need to be weary of Bolasie though, as his return from injury may spur Palace on.

 

What are the best odds for Sunderland to beat Crystal Palace? It’s 8/5 with bet365.

My second Sunderland vs Crystal Palace prediction is over 2.5 goals to be scored in the match. I do feel like this could be an end to end game, and with both teams desperate for the three points, I can see both teams getting in the goals and making this a pretty good spectacle. Both are defensively worrying, and both groups of attackers will want to start adding goals to their games.

 

The best odds for over 2.5 goals in Sunderland v Crystal Palace are 5/4 with Bet Victor.

My last Premier League prediction for Sunderland v Crystal Palace this week is going to be a first goalscorer tip. For Sunderland you can’t really look past Jermain Defoe. He’s the reason Sunderland fans still believe they can stay up, as his goals since Christmas have been vital in keeping them within touching distance of the teams above them. He’ll be keen to get back in the goals and I fancy him to against Palace.

 

The best odds for Jermaine Defoe to score first against Crystal Palace are 11/2 with bet365.
