Stoke City vs Crystal Palace | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
Stoke City host Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend, with Paul Lambert’s side knowing that they must pick up all three points as they battle against relegation. However, with opponents Palace being unbeaten in their last four matches, it promises to be a tense affair on Saturday lunchtime.
Match Preview
Having drawn their last three matches in the Premier League, Stoke City will be looking to return to winning ways when they take on Crystal Palace this weekend, in what is being labelled as a must-win match for the hosts. However, with their opponents having moved clear of the relegation zone in recent weeks thanks to some much-improved performances, many are predicting a close encounter on Saturday. There is little to separate the duo in the betting odds from bookmakers, meaning that there are plenty of attractive markets worth checking out before kick-off. For those still unsure of who to back, be sure to check out our top betting tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with the home side.
Stoke City Team News & Form
Stoke will be without Dutch international Bruno Martins Indi this weekend, with Ryan Shawcross likely to keep his place in the starting line-up as a result. Elsewhere, Lambert has some important decisions to make at the opposite end of the pitch, with the likes of Peter Crouch, Mame Biram Diouf and Ramadan Sobhi potentially featuring in an attacking line-up.
Crystal Palace Team News & Form
Palace boss Roy Hodgson is likely to stick with the same starting eleven that defeated Leicester City 5-0 last time around, meaning that Christian Benteke will have to settle for a place on the substitutes bench once more. Scott Dann and Jason Puncheon remain absent, with the duo expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Head to Head
It is Crystal Palace who have had the better of things when it comes to their head-to-head with Stoke City, with the South Londoners having won 11 of their previous 19 encounters. As well as this, it was the South-London based club who came out on top when the two teams met at Selhurst Park earlier this season, with Mamadou Sakho scoring an injury-time winner in a 2-1 success. However, Stoke recorded a 1-0 win the last time they hosted Palace, offering them hope for this weekends encounter.
