There is one EPL game taking place on Monday night and we take a look at the Leeds v Palace clash from a betting angle.
Leeds are sitting midtable in 11th and they have had 3 losses and 2 victories in their last 5 games. Their last match was a 2-1 home defeat to Everton and prior to that they had beaten Leicester and Newcastle on the road.
Leeds have lost 50% of their home matches this season, winning just 3 out of 10 and their last 2 home games have ended in 1 goal defeats. Leeds home games average 3 goals each and if you were backing over 2.5 goals in each of their 10 matches you would have collected in 50% of the games.
Palace are in good form with back-to-back victories over Newcastle away and Wolves at home, pushing them up to 13th on the log, level on points with Leeds, but with a worse goal difference and having played a game more.
Palace have won 4 out of 11 away matches this season, drawing 2 and losing 5 and their away victory over Newcastle broke a run of 4 away games without a victory. Palace away matches have been lucrative for over 2.5 goal backers and 7 of the 11 matches has seen 3 goals or more and there is an average of 2.9 goals in Crystal Palace away games.
There is some recent head-to-head form between the sides, having met in November in the League with Crystal Palace running out 4-1 winners at home.

Leeds 9/10
Draw 29/10
Palace 59/20
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Crystal Palace (+1) at 9/10
Palace have played some good football over their last couple of games and I am surprised to see them such large underdogs. For this bet to arrive we need them to daw or win the game. I also had a look at the goals market where I fancied over 2.5 goals, but the price of 6/10 was a bit short for me to get involved in this one and in fact if I was going to have a goals bet it would be over 3.5 goals at 15/10 as a number of Leeds games have gone past the 3 goal mark this season.
