Crystal Palace 11/10
Draw 26/10
Leeds 5/2
Suggested bet: The draw at 26/10
Leeds are a team in form and are still desperate for points and that desperation is what I think might give them enough of an edge to grab a point at Palace. Although if you enjoy backing the bigger prices a couple of options I have been looking at, on this match is a 2-2 draw at 11/1 and given I am expecting goals, over 3.5 goals at 21/10 appeals as decent value.
