Crystal Palace vs Burnley: Expect an efficient encounter

Crystal Palace take on Burnley at home. They will meet again on Matchday 27 of the English Championship. Can Dyche's side pick up their third successive win?

In this Midweek encounter, Crystal Palace managed to break their unbeaten run in the EPL. Patrick Vieira's team played away against Watford. The Eagles made the most of their chances to win a 4-1. After 26 games, the London side has 29 points. Currently, Crystal Palace are sitting 11th in the EPL table.

Burnley have made some very unexpected progress. Not only did Dyche's men pick up victories in their last two EPL games, but they've kept their goals clean in both meetings. First, Burnley had a wonderful away game against Brighton and thrashed their opponents 3-0. Next, Dyche's side shocked Tottenham 1-0 at home. Burnley are 18th in the EPL table with 20 points.

I expect this game to follow the scenario of the previous two fixtures, in which at least three goals were scored. Burnley have been very unpleasant opponents for Crystal Palace in the previous two EPL seasons and have twice beaten the Eagles at Selhurst Park. Rarely Burnley are not considered clear underdogs of an EPL game - the match against Palace is one of those. I suggest you consider the total of more goals as your main bet. I also expect Burnley not to leave Crystal Palace field as the losing team.

• Total Over (2.5) goals for 2.38;
• X2 for 1.88;
• Both teams to score for 2.05.
