Leeds v Crystal Palace betting tips: Draw specialists may be hard to separate

Palace are 2/1 to bounce back with a win after Saturday’s 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa ended a seven-match unbeaten run.

Marc Guehi’s late goal proved in vain but at least means Palace have scored in eight consecutive matches.

Palace often improve after the break, with 14 of their 19 goals coming in this period when only four teams have a better record.

The Eagles are 6/4 to be the first team to score in the second half and 21/10 to win the second half.

Leeds v Crystal Palace head-to-head

The honours were shared in last season’s two meetings, which were the first for eight years between these two teams.

Palace won 4-1 at Selhurst Park last November but Leeds gained revenge with a 2-0 win at Elland Road in February and a repeat is 11/1.

Leeds v Crystal Palace key battles

Patrick Bamford scored two of the three Leeds goals against Palace last season and his continued absence has been an issue for Bielsa.

Leeds have only scored more than one goal in a match on two occasions this season so are hardly likely to go goal crazy here.

They have scored exactly one goal eight times and are 8/5 to do so again with Raphinha 5/1 to break the deadlock.

Guehi has scored in back-to-back games for Palace and the centre-back is 25/1 to extend that run while Christian Benteke is 11/2 to open the scoring in Leeds v Crystal Palace betting tips after his recent brace at Burnley.

Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips may be out to prove a point after being substituted at half-time against Brighton, although Bielsa has assured Leeds fans there is no problem between him and the England midfielder.
