Burnley haven’t claimed a win in four games now, with their only three-pointer coming away to Luton. Palace also have not secured a victory in three games, since they beat Manchester United at the end of September.
As is often the case if these lower table clashes results can be difficult to predict, yet there are still plenty of avenues for us to explore.
An almost impossible Palace record
Ten games have gone by in the league now, as many sides will have seen goals spread around the periods, however, this is not the case for the Eagles.
They have only scored one such goal in the first half so far, cementing themselves as a team that comes to life in the second 45.
They have scored six goals in the second half of matches so far and one can feasibly see this trend continuing into their match against Burnley.
The Clarets have also conceded the majority of their goals in this period, having allowed 13 to go in here, compared to just 10 in the first half.
Crystal Palace need only to score one goal in the second half to allow this line to come in, and even if they were to break their previous mould one can still see them bagging one in each half.

Keeping it Crystal Clean
Neither of these two sides have brought themselves any sort of special attention from the officials this year and this should well continue into their match against each other.
Both sides reside in the bottom ten for booking on the year, Burnley sitting in 12th with 22 and Palace in 18th with a mere 16.
This is a testament to their clean style of play ensuring both sides stay with their full complement of players and have the ability to make a tactical challenge should they need to.
Palace are averaging a mere 1.6 cards per match, whilst the Clarets only see this rise to 2.2, which even combined is enough to remain under the 5-card line.
Look for both sides to keep it clean as they meet at Turf Moor.

Edouard taking up the reins
Palace have been hit by a slew of injuries to some of their most important forward players recently as both Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise are both out with hamstring injuries.
This has however opened the door for Odsonne Edouard to take up the goalscoring mantle for the side. He bagged four goals in his first five games for the Eagles, yet has since been in a rut.
However, what better time to break it than against one of the worst sides in the league, as Burnley could provide him with opportunities.
Edouard has been averaging a shot on target per game, something that will no doubt serve him well in this match.
He will still be their major goal threat and he could pop up with one to break his goalless streak.
