Crystal Palace is coming into this match with no recent trend to the over in their matches, but they have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their 4 matches this season. One of those matches was in the EFL Cup so they have actually gone over 2.5 goals in just 1 of their 3 Premier League matches this season, but this is a good spot for a higher scoring match. They lost their first 2 matches of the season, but they started to turn things around in their cup match with a 4-0 win at home against Norwich. Their last match was a 1-1 draw away from home against Chelsea, but they have been in much better form in their last 2 matches now. Their defense has not been great as they have allowed 5 goals in their 3 league matches and have not kept a clean sheet yet, but their attack has been much better in their last 2 matches with 5 goals scored and that is going to give them some confidence coming out of this international break. Their defense is still going to struggle, but that will force them to go on the attack as they will need to score goals to win this match. Their new manager has also been more of an attacking mind going back to last season as Crystal Palace has been getting after their opponents more. They are going up against a newly promoted Leicester City side that has been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight matches with 1 of those being a cup match. They won that cup match 4-0 at home, but they have still gone over 2.5 goals in their last 2 league matches as well. Their defense has been awful in those as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 2 league matches, keeping no clean sheets in their 3 matches this season, but their attack has been finding the net as they have scored at least 1 goal in every match as well. Leicester City is a newly promoted side but they are definitely familiar with playing in the Premier League and have plenty of quality players in their squad. Their defense is not going to hold up against this Crystal Palace attack away from home, but their attack will be pushing for a goal and the Crystal Palace defense has not kept a clean sheet either. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
