Leeds has been resilient, securing a win against Chelsea and drawing against Brentford and Liverpool, indicating their capability to face tough opponents. Their ability to score is evident, with an average of 2.0 goals per game in their last five matches, though they have yet to secure a clean sheet, conceding 1.8 goals on average. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, has demonstrated solid form, particularly in away games, with victories over Fulham and Burnley.

Final Prediction

Crystal Palace's slight edge in defensive discipline and league standing gives them an advantage over Leeds. Their ability to maintain clean sheets could be pivotal against a Leeds side that has struggled defensively. Fans should watch Crystal Palace's defensive strategies closely, as their resilience at the back could be the deciding factor in this encounter.
