📰 Team News: Burnley
We are thinking that The Clarets may well line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, utilising Martin Dubravka, Kyle Walker, Axel Tuanzebe, Maxime Esteve, Quilindschy Hartman, Josh Cullen, Florentino, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Lesley Ugochukwu, Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming.
📋 Team News: Crystal Palace
It’s our belief that The Eagles will likely play in a 3-4-2-1 formation, starting the game with Dean Henderson, Jaydee Canvot, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi, Daniel Munoz, Will Hughes, Jefferson Lerma, Tyrick Mitchell, Edward Nketiah, Yeremy Pino and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
🔮 Prediction
We’re thinking that Burnley are likely to find the back of the net against this Crystal Palace outfit, although just one goal probably won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re therefore tipping both teams to score in a 1-2 winning margin for Crystal Palace after the 90. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
