Burnley vs. Crystal Palace prediction, lineups, odds, TV channel and bet builder tips for Premier League clash
Burnley get their latest chance to move out of the bottom three, while Palace can edge back into the top half in this Premier League clash at Turf Moor tonight.
Following their promotion from the Championship last season, Scott Parker’s Burnley have certainly been competitive in the top-flight but a lack of quality is beginning to bite. They most recently suffered a 3-1 loss to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium at the weekend.
Crystal Palace backed up their frustrating 2-1 loss to Strasbourg in the league phase of the UEFA Europa Conference League last week with a matched scoreline at home to Manchester United side at Selhurst Park at the weekend – a game in which Palace had a half-time lead via Jean-Philippe Mateta, notching his seventh Premier League goal of the season.

Burnley vs. Crystal Palace betting preview: Who will win today?
Regardless of the end match result, the expectation is that this will be a low-scoring encounter in which both teams try to maintain stability at the back.
Burnley gained promotion with some of the most remarkable defensive numbers ever, while Palace are set up to exploit teams on the counter-attack. Even without the injured Ismaila Sarr, the attacking quality still available to Oliver Glasner favours a slender away win.

Burnley vs. Crystal Palace Final Score Prediction
Burnley have limited attacking potential and Parker’s approach is to sit back and limit the opposition. That won’t be helpful for a Palace side so slick in transition but unlikely to draw out Burnley to counter attack. The visitors remain favourites for what is expected to be a low-scoring clash at Turf Moor.
Prediction: Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palace (6/1 with Bet365)

Burnley vs. Crystal Palace Team News, Injury Updates
Burnley Team News
- Surprisingly, Jaidon Anthony was benched by Scott Parker at the weekend but the former AFC Bournemouth winger must surely find his way back into the XI here.
- The form of Zian Flemming has complicated things alongside an apparent desire to keep both Loum Tchaouna and Lyle Foster in the side, despite their underwhelming form.
- Switzerland international striker Zeki Amdouni remains sidelined for the hosts this week alongside defensive duo Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts.
Crystal Palace Team News
- Oliver Glasner has received some slight criticism of late due to a lack of rotation but that hasn’t been helped by Borna Sosa being unavailable for the visitors.
- Senegal international winger Ismaila Sarr limped off against United and Glasner has suggested Palace may not see him before the CAF Africa Cup of Nations, which begins later this month.
- Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure are inching their way back to full fitness this week, while Caleb Kporha and Rio Cardines are both still sidelined.

This is how we think these two sides will lineup at Turf Moor, with Daichi Kamada moving into a more advanced role for Crystal Palace to cover the injury of Ismaila Sarr. Adam Hughes could come into the middle to accomodate for Kamada’s positional change.
