Liverpool Team Overview

Liverpool are in a crisis. This can be stated with certainty. The naive Eintracht, who refuse to alter their style for any specific opponent, were thrashed 5-1, but Premier League rivals have been giving Arne Slot's men a tough time. Whip crosses into the box, impose physical battles – and the results will come. Brentford proved this last weekend.

The Reds played their only League Cup match when they were still in form, but even their victory over Southampton (2-1) was hard-earned. Goals from Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike secured the win, yet the Championship side matched the English champions in both quantity and quality of chances created.

The "Eagles" are experiencing a crisis. The team, which was recently on an impressive unbeaten run, has now gone four matches without a win, losing three of them. Notably, they suffered a defeat against Cypriot side AEK Larnaca (0-1) in the Conference League, where Oliver Glasner's men lost despite dominating the game.

In the previous round of the League Cup, the "Glaziers" also failed to impress, giving their fans quite a scare. They couldn't hold onto a narrow lead against Millwall, conceding in stoppage time and were forced to secure their spot in the Round of 16 through a penalty shootout (4-2).

• on the home team’s field - 9 times.

• Liverpool have scored and conceded in 9 of last 10 home games.
• Liverpool have scored and conceded in 8 of last 9 games.

Both teams are eager to get back to winning ways, but it's arguably more crucial for Liverpool as another defeat could spark rumors about Arne Slot's dismissal. However, the mere prospect of that won't strengthen the Reds' game, especially with injuries to key players like Alisson and Frimpong. Liverpool have been notably weak defensively, and this won't be fixed overnight, particularly against such a challenging opponent with no significant absences in their lineup.

We believe Crystal Palace will avoid defeat against the Merseysiders for the fourth consecutive time. We anticipate a 1-1 draw in regulation time, so we suggest betting on both teams to score (yes). It's rare to see a Liverpool match this season without both sides finding the net.
