Bitesize Prediction: Luton vs Crystal Palace – 25/11/23

Competition: Premier League

Market: Crystal Palace draw no bet

Odds: 3/5 @ 1xBet

Hoping to make an immediate return to winning ways on Saturday afternoon, Crystal Palace will make the trip to Luton on the return from the international break.

Starting with the hosts, while Luton might have gained a string of plaudits on November 5th as they secured a famous 1-1 stalemate at home against Liverpool, the Hatters still find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap. Tipped as a leading contender to be hit with an immediate Championship return, Rob Edwards’ side have recorded just a single victory from any of their first 12 Premier League appearances. Heading into November’s international break with a 1-0 loss away at Premier League giants Manchester United, Luton mark their return holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone. Crashing out of the EFL Cup thanks to a 1-0 loss against Exeter on September 26th, the former Watford boss should also be concerned by his side’s extended issues on home soil. Including what could turn out to be a costly 2-1 loss at the hands of fellow strugglers Burnley last month, Luton have collected just two points from their first five Premier League showdowns in front of their own supporters.

As for the visitors, heading into November’s international break with a nightmare performance at Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace will certainly be seeking an immediate response here. Eventually slumping to an action-packed 3-2 loss against Everton, Roy Hodgson’s side have largely struggled with their consistency since opening up the 2023/24 campaign. Despite clinching a routine 2-0 victory away at Burnley on November 4th, that is the only win that the Eagles have collected from their previous five Premier League appearances – a run that stems back to their stunning 1-0 victory against Manchester United on September 30th. However, winning two of their last three top-flight showdowns outside of south London, the one-time England boss should be smelling a real opportunity here. Marking their return from the fortnight interval sat just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half, Hodgson’s side still have their sights set on mounting a top-10 charge. With Crystal Palace securing a 2-1 win when Saturday’s opponents last met way back in 2007, we are predicting an away draw no bet this weekend.
