Historically, the rivalry between Burnley and Crystal Palace has been fairly balanced. In more recent years, however, Palace have held the upper hand, avoiding defeat in the last four meetings with Burnley, winning two and drawing two. The last time Burnley came away with a victory in this fixture was back in 2021.
Burnley team overview
Burnley have endured a difficult run of form in recent weeks. Their latest Premier League outings include defeats to Brentford (13), Chelsea (0-2), West Ham (2-3 away), and Arsenal (0-2). Their only recent competitive victory came away at Wolves (3-2), showing that they are still capable of producing moments of attacking spark. At home, however, their vulnerability has been even more apparent: only 25% of their home matches this season have resulted in a clean sheet. That makes Turf Moor a potentially risky venue for Burnley, particularly against a Palace side capable of capitalising on defensive lapses. Despite these issues, Burnley have at least managed to limit the overall damage - each of their six Premier League home fixtures this season has finished with under 2.5 total goals.

Crystal Palace team overview
Crystal Palace approach this fixture in stronger form. Across their last six matches in all competitions, they have recorded four wins, one draw, and just one defeat. In the Premier League, Oliver Glasner’s side were on a three-game unbeaten run prior to their 2-1 home loss to Manchester United at the weekend, despite taking the lead before half-time. Notably, that defeat was their first home loss of the league campaign, ending a six-match unbeaten streak at Selhurst Park. Their away form, while not flawless, has been relatively steady as well, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six away games.

Prediction
Given the statistical trends and the contrasting forms - Burnley losing four in a row - Palace travelling with momentum - this fixture looks like it will be competitive but leans in favour towards the visitors. Burnley’s leaky defence - 27 goals conceded in 13 league fixtures - is a major issue, but they do manage to limit the opposition’s chances at Turf Moor to some extent, as none of their first six league home matches have produced over 2.5 total goals.
Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals Total.
Three reasons we expect Under 2.5 Goals Total
- Under 2.5 goals have landed in six out of six Burnley’s home league fixtures.
- Under 2.5 goals have occurred in Crystal Palace’s back-to-back away league matches.
- There have been under 2.5 goals in two of the last three h2h meetings between Burnley and Crystal Palace.
Main prediction -
Under 2.5 goals
