The home team is currently in 15th place with 35 points earned after 8 wins, 11 draws and 16 losses. In the penultimate match, he won home to Brighton & Hove Albion by (3-2). In the last match, tied off for Watford by (0-0).

Crystal Palace is a club that has never won the English Championship, having as most important achievement two Championship titles, won in the seasons 1993/94 and 1978/79. In the current season, the team has been struggling to stay as far away from the relegation zone as it is six points ahead of the first team within the ZR, Southampton. In the last five games played as principal for the English Championship, in four of them were scored more than 1.5 goals. I believe that in this showdown, Crystal Palace will maintain that standard and will again play a busy game with several goals, looking for another victory that will help you stay away from the last positions.

Leicester City is a club that made history by being the Premier League champion of the recent 2015/16 season, the fact surprised everyone, because although the league is very disputed, in the titles there is a reversal practically only between the big clubs and Leicester broke this standard and was the great champion of 2015/16. Now in this 2017/18 season, Leicester come in ninth place and will practically meet the table following the competition, because it is forty-four points, practically twenty points from the vacancy that would lead to the next Europa League and fifteen points away from the relegation zone, so we can expect Leicester to make a match without pressure and without backing down, I believe in a game with more than 1.5 goals.
