Crystal Palace - Norwich: Tips, prognosis & odds - 28.12.2021 - ENGLAND: Premier League
 
 
Crisis duel in Selhurst Park!
 
Newcomers Norwich City will visit Crystal Palace in Selhurst Park on matchday 20 of the Premier League. As the team with the weakest offensive and defensive, they are considered a clear underdog. The Eagles from London have been unbeaten for two home games and the Canaries from Norwich have been without a win for two guest games. We therefore tend to tip 1

Norwich City has nothing more to lose on Matchday 20 of the Premier League. Because as the bottom of the table, with a deficit of more than 3 points, more likely even 6, on a non-relegation place, they can bet everything on one card against Crystal Palace. The hosts are currently in 12th place with 20 points, also after 18 match days, so they have only been able to convince to a limited extent this season. Whereby they presented themselves strongly in front of a home audience. They only suffered 1 defeat at home this season. On January 1st, 2020 these two faced each other for the last time. Norwich made it 1-1 at home. The Eagles' last home game against the Canaries took place on September 28th, 2019. The hosts decided the game 2-0.

The Eagles suffered a clear 3-0 defeat in the derby against Tottenham Hotspurs and, to top it off, had to cope with superstar Wilfried Zaha's dismissal. The canaries lost even more than Crystal Palace in their own stadium. Against Arsenal, the newcomer was completely lost and went down 5-0. This dismantling certainly contributes to the fact that between Crystal Palace and Norwich only odds of 1.60 are offered for the home win.

Before the direct duel, the Eagles have exactly twice as many points on the credit side and therefore being a favorite is quite justified. But is it worth giving a tip to the host without Zaha? This question is investigated in the following lines.

This prolonged the negative run of the last few weeks, because four of the last six league games ended in a defeat for the Eagles. The season got off to a promising start. After the unsuccessful debut in the derby against Chelsea (3-0 defeat), the Vieira-Elf received only one more bankruptcy between matchday two and twelve, which was justifiable against Liverpool.

However, Crystal Palace earned its reputation as the king of draws after eight points have already been divided in the season so far (maximum value, together with three other teams). Five of the nine home games in 2021/22 ended in a draw and thus the prognosis for a home win between Crystal Palace and Norwich with odds around 1.60 appears to be associated with a great risk.

While Norwich City has suffered a few slacks, the Eagles only have to do without center-back Nathan Ferguson and midfielder James McArthur due to injuries.
 
In a cross-comparison with Crystal Palace, Norwich can certainly not be described as the qualitatively better team, but the difference should not be really big. With Torgarant Pukki (he scored five of the eight hits) or top talents like Max Aarons, Todd Cantwell, Billy Gilmour and veterans McLean, Gibson and Lees-Melou, the bottom group also has enough quality to offer.

Norwich City made 35 guest appearances in the London borough of Selhurst and was only able to return home seven times. And yet Norwich has a positive away record in Selhurst Park in the English upper house of football. There were only twelve such games in the top division, five of which Norwich was able to win. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, only celebrated a home win four times - including the last duel in 2019/20 (2-0).

Can Norwich City make up for its failures?
 
5 players are out of action at Norwich City due to injuries and the use of 2 is questionable, namely with midfielder Lukas Rupp and right winger Milot Rashica. With Mathias Normann and Grant Hanley, two strong goalscorers are eliminated. But with Hanley they also have to do without their captain. With Tim Krul, their keeper is also missing and with Christoph Zimmermann and Andrew Omobamidele two strong central defenders.

Recently, Norwich City suffered their 4th defeat in a row. In addition, they have not been able to land a hit for 4 match days. They have been without a win for 6 games because of 2 additional draws. In the last two away games they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Spurs and a 1-1 against Newcastle. They could only win one away game and make two draws. They admitted defeat in a foreign country 5 times. In the 8 away games they came to a conclusion only 3 times and allowed 20 goals. At home they were even weaker, because only 1 win and 2 draws were possible. They accepted 7 defeats. The away goal balance is 5:19. The team around coach Dean Smith, who has been in charge of sporting fortunes since November 15, 2021, provides the weakest offensive and defensive.

Betting base forecast & Crystal Palace - Norwich: Tip
 
Due to the countless postponements in this Premier League season, the table should always be viewed with caution. However, this game can be a trend-setting game, especially for the guests. The safe shore still seems to be in sight, but two of the three direct competitors have to play two or three catch-up games.

It is all the more important to write again yourself. The short upward trend was stopped by the difficult game plan, but now points are urgently needed. In the away game in Selhurst, the bottom group is of course considered an outsider. But the home side are not in good shape themselves and have to do without the best player.

In this respect, the tip for a surprise between Crystal Palace and Norwich seems to be worthwhile. The double chance X2 is the best option in terms of possible output and risk. A little riskier is the bet on the "Draw-No-Bet" market in favor of the guests, for this it is worth taking a look at the bookmaker we tested ADMIRALBET.

Our forecast
 
Nothing should stand in the way of a home win for Crystal Palace. Because of the current form of both of them, we even expect the Eagles to win. Because of the weak offense and defense of the canaries, we do not assume that both teams will score and we also tend to bet less than 2.5 goals.
