    Liverpool backed to spoil Hodgson’s last game as Palace boss

    Liverpool vs Crystal Palace - 05/23/2021

    Liverpool backed to spoil Hodgson’s last game as Palace boss
    05/21/2021 3379

    Liverpool know a win against Crystal Palace on the final day of the Premier League will secure them a spot in next season’s Champions League.

    Ahead of Roy Hodgson’s final match as Eagles boss, Palace sit thirteenth in the table but could finish twelfth if things go their way.

    The Reds have finished the season in flying form and find themselves fourth in the table – one point behind third-place Chelsea and level with fifth-place Leicester City on 66 points.

    However, Jurgen Klopp’s side boast a goal difference of +24, while the Foxes have a goal difference of +20.

    Liverpool looked destined to miss out on a top-four finish this term following a wretched mid-season collapse.

    However, the Reds head into the final weekend of the campaign on a nine-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League.

    A run of seven wins and two draws has propelled Liverpool from mid-table into the Champions League places.

    Following a 3-0 victory over Burnley on Wednesday, Klopp’s boys have won each of their previous four league matches – scoring over 1.5 goals in every game.

    Let’s not forget that Liverpool humiliated Palace earlier in the campaign, securing a 7-0 thrashing at Selhurst Park back in December.

    Crystal Palace head into Sunday’s clash having won just two of their previous eight matches in the Premier League.

    In fact, the Eagles have lost five of their last seven games – conceding over 1.5 goals in each of their previous five defeats.

    After losing 3-1 to Southampton last week, Palace beat Aston Villa 3-2, before losing to Arsenal 3-1 on Wednesday.

    It is worth noting that only two teams – Southampton and West Brom – have a poorer defensive record than Palace this term.

    Head-to-head: Liverpool are enjoying a run of seven straight victories over Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

    Across their previous four wins over Palace, the Reds have scored a combined total of 17 goals – averaging 4.25 goals per game.

    Team news: Liverpool still have a ridiculously lengthy injury list, with eight first-team players on the sidelines and the moment.

    Crystal Palace could also be without a number of key players this weekend, with Luka Milivojevic and Christian Benteke injury doubts.

    When you couple Liverpool’s recent record against Palace with their current form, all the signs point towards a high-scoring win for the Anfield outfit.

    For that reason, Forebet predicts that Liverpool score over 2.5 goals en route to down Palace – securing Champions League football in the process.
