England - Premier League
Match Date and Time: 13 / 1 / 2018 17: 00
Burnley's away game means that the bell automatically rings for potential damage to the home team. Its philosophy, known from last year, continues at the same pace this year as well, with the players lagging behind in terms of quality but serving their coach's plan perfectly. The team is in 7th place and +14 away from the relegation zone, which has taken any stress off the players. Characteristically, they have the 4th best defensive record in the division with just 19 goals conceded in 22 matches. Of course, the number of goals he has scored is also the same, thus having the 5th worst offensive performance in the category. Crystal Palace now gives the feeling that it will not be in danger with Hogson having improved it significantly, covering a lot of lost ground. Of course, nothing is certain yet as it is +2 from the relegation zone. Palace currently struggle against tough teams (they recently drew 0-0 at Brighton and West Brom) and will have very important absences. The key defensive duo of Sakho and Dann are missing, and left-back Schlupp is missing, replaced by the more aggressive (and defensively prone) Van Aanholt. At the same time, he also has problems in midfield, as he will miss the in-form winger Townsend (1 goal and 3 assists in the last 5), he has lost the last 2 and valuable Loftus Cheek. Benteke has not fully recovered and Burnley's defense has never had an issue in the air, while Zaha is expected to find less space to do his thing than usual. Not that Burnley don't have absences, as they will still be without starters Ward, Brady and Wood (one in each line), but Burnley have shown in other games that they can fill those gaps and any player who comes off the bench delivers exactly the same shot. On the contrary, I expect Palace's absences to affect it much more and I don't think it will easily find solutions against Burnley's defense. Burnley did just one double in the league last year and that was at Palace's home ground. Clearly, he can steal it again this year.
