Liverpool vs Crystal Palace prediction
The Premier League returns to Anfield on Saturday, 25 April 2026 (kick-off 17:00 GMT+3) as Liverpool FC host Crystal Palace in Matchday 34. This fixture presents an important opportunity for both sides: Liverpool, under the stewardship of Arne Slot, seeks to consolidate a top-five position and maintain momentum in the run-in, while Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace aim to preserve a solid top-half finish and build on encouraging recent form. Liverpool sit fifth with 55 points after 33 matches (16 wins, 7 draws, 10 defeats, goals 54:43), and their home record of 9 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats underlines their traditional strength at Anfield. Palace occupy 13th with 43 points from 33 matches (11 wins, 10 draws, 11 defeats, goals 35:36) and travels with an away record of 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats. The last meeting between these sides ended in a 3:0 victory for Crystal Palace away, and the five most recent head-to-head encounters across all competitions show Liverpool with 1 win, 1 draw and Palace with 3 wins.
Both teams arrive in different recent moods: Liverpool prevailed 2:1 away at Everton in their most recent outing, while Palace played out a 0:0 home draw with West Ham. The match at Anfield is therefore poised between Liverpool’s desire to press for European qualification and Palace’s attempt to frustrate and take advantage of transitional moments. Below, we offer our betting tip and supporting predictions for this encounter.
Our England Premier League predictions focus on key fixtures, highlighting teams with strong chances of securing results.
Main Betting Tip: Liverpool Win
Our main betting tip for Liverpool FC vs Crystal Palace is a home win for Liverpool. Several factors support this selection. First, Liverpool’s overall balance across the season—54 goals scored and a positive goal differential—paired with the strong Anfield home record (9 wins from 16 home outings) gives them a clear edge on home turf. Second, Arne Slot’s side has the tactical cohesion and personnel to control possession and create higher-quality chances, particularly when facing a Palace side that can be vulnerable to incisive, wide-play and high-intensity pressing. Although Palace produced a notable 3:0 victory in the most recent direct meeting and has shown resilience under Oliver Glasner, the combination of Liverpool’s home form and the stakes of the fixture makes a home victory the likeliest outcome.

Betting tip 2: Both teams score? Yes
Our second betting tip predicts that both teams will score. Crystal Palace have demonstrated their ability to find the net in away fixtures and have been defensively solid under Glasner, but not impermeable. Liverpool, with a potent attacking unit, tend to create multiple chances in home matches and will likely break through Palace’s defence at least once. Conversely, Palace’s style of play and set-piece threat, along with opportunistic counter-attacks, make it plausible that they will convert at least one chance at Anfield. Combining Liverpool’s attacking impetus with Palace’s capacity to exploit transitional moments leads us to favour the market “Both teams to score — Yes.”
Betting Tip 3: Under 2.5 goals
Our third betting tip is Under 2.5 goals. While Liverpool do possess scoring capability, Crystal Palace frequently adopt a compact, organised defensive approach that reduces shot volume and limits high-quality chances for opponents. Matches between a motivated home side and a tactically disciplined away side often result in fewer than three goals, particularly with both coaches valuing structure and not exposing themselves recklessly late in the campaign. Moreover, the statistical profiles—Palace’s modest goals-for total and Liverpool’s occasional defensive lapses—suggest a contest that may be decided by a single-goal margin rather than a goal-fest. Therefore, Under 2.5 goals is a sensible selection for punters seeking a conservative projection.
