💰 Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace best bet
Check out all of our soccer betting analysis and expert predictions this season.
Liverpool ML (-200)
Recent results against Crystal Palace shouldn't have any impact on Saturday's outcome. We're expecting the scale to tip back in Liverpool's favor against a Palace team that's won just two of its last seven away games.
Liverpool come into this game in great form after back-to-back victories over Fulham and Everton, while Palace have been plagued by inconsistency in their efforts to move closer to the top half of the table.
Although Crystal Palace have caused plenty of problems in the past, look for Liverpool's elite attackers to break down Oliver Glasner's organized setup and inch closer to sealing a Champions League spot for next season.
Score prediction: Liverpool 3, Crystal Palace 1
🔥 Best Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace prop bet
Both teams to score (-142)
A combination of Liveprool's shaky defense and Crystal Palace's strong scoring record on the road should result in both teams scoring at Anfield on Saturday.
Palace have scored in five straight games away from home, while five of Liverpool's previous six matches at home have featured goals from both teams.
Liverpool shouldn't have any problem scoring in front of their home fans, but they could be left exposed at the back with an aggressive approach that benefits Palace on the counter attack.
🙌 Best Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace goal-scorer prediction
Alexander Isak, Liverpool (-105)
Alexander Isak will be relied on heavily in the final weeks of the season with leading scorer Hugo Ekitike out injured.
Now that he's fully recovered form a broken fibula, we're backing Isak to benefit from the creative players around him who'll set him up with multiple chances to score throughout Saturday's contest.
His debut season has been marred by inconsistency and a serious injury. But, even after a quiet outing in last weekend's derby, Isak, who has two goals this season, can redeem himself by playing a starring role in Liverpool's bid to qualify for the Champions League.
🚀 Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace same-game parlay
We've paired naturally high-probability outcomes with our Over 2.5 goals and BTTS bets, while we're betting on Liverpool to overcome recent struggles and win a fixture that they used to dominate. Before their three-game winless run, Liverpool won five games in a row against Palace at Anfield.

⚖️ How I'm handicapping Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace
There's obviously value in betting on Palace to continue to frustrate Liverpool after going unbeaten in the last three games against the Reds.
But it's also risky to count out a Liverpool team that, despite having no chance at winning silverware, is motivated to secure a spot in Europe for next season. Although Liverpool's defense has struggled, conceding 1.3 goals a game, their attack is talented enough to offset deficiencies at the back.

📊 Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace odds
After Liverpool opened as significant favourites, the odds have shifted slightly to the other direction from -200 to -215. This is perhaps due to the fact that Liverpool may have to turn to a backup goalkeeper, as Giorgi Mamardashvili is out while Alisson has a chance to play after being sidelined. Freddie Woodman will be between the sticks if Alisson can't play.

Saturday's meeting will be a good indicator of how Arne Slot and the rest of the team is adjusting to life without Hugo Ekitike. The French forward was ruled out for the season after suffering an ruptutred Achilles in the Merseyside derby.
It's undoubtedly a tough loss, but Liverpool have the depth to cope without their leading scorer. Now it's time for Alexander Isak to live up to the lofty price tag that Liverpool paid to bring him to Anfield last summer.
Meanwhile, Palace will remain relatively unchanged from their draw with West Ham. They'll rely on a counter-attacking approach to score at a difficult stadium, with Jorgen Strand Larsen, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Yeremi Pino the likeliest to score for the visitors.
