Latest football match prediction: Burnley vs Crystal Palace
After two consecutive wins against Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers – a team almost certainly relegated to the Championship – which helped them end October fairly well, Burnley must be happy that a disastrous November, with four consecutive defeats in the Premier League, is over.
Burnley looked poised to secure a valuable point at Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon, but a chaotic final 11 minutes saw four goals – three of which belonged to Brentford, with Igor Thiago scoring a brace.
Determined to avoid a run of five consecutive defeats in the top flight since November 2023, Scott Parker's team have dropped to 19th place in the Premier League table ahead of their midweek trip to South London, just one point behind West Ham United – who are 17th.
Earning 7 points from 6 home games at Lancashire, Burnley aren't doing too badly, but they need to significantly improve their goalscoring ability, as they've only scored 5 goals at Turf Moor this season – the fewest in the entire league.
Despite the lack of sharpness in attack, Zian Fleming certainly shouldn't be blamed. The Dutch newcomer is showing strong adaptation in his first Premier League season, scoring 4 goals in 10 games.
Having been a symbol of stability for much of their time under Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace have now lost two consecutive games in all competitions – their second this season – as November ended with defeats against Strasbourg in Ligue 1 and Manchester United.
Jean-Philippe Mateta – who is strengthening his chances of being included in the French squad for the 2026 World Cup – successfully converted a penalty to give Palace the lead against Man United. However, the visitors scored two goals in the second half, ending Palace's 12-match unbeaten home run in the Premier League.
Determined not to lose three consecutive games for the first time in 13 months, Glasner's side are currently 9th in the Premier League table, just 4 points behind Aston Villa – who hold the last Champions League spot.
Ignoring their stumble in last week's Conference League in France, Palace have been incredibly impressive away from home this season. Only Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have earned more points away from home than them, while Glasner's side have also conceded the fewest goals away from home – just 4 goals in 6 matches.
Recent matches between the two teams have often been "winner takes all" encounters, with only one team scoring in 7 of the last 10 meetings between Burnley and Crystal Palace, suggesting that the opening goal on Wednesday night could be decisive.
