Finishing a busy day of EPL soccer on Saturday, we have two games kicking off at 15:00 EST, one of which is Leeds vs Crystal Palace. Back in late November, it looked as though Daniel Farke's men would be booked for little more than relegation but since then, the Whites have rallied, first beating Chelsea by three goals to one in front of a raucous home crowd, before holding Liverpool to a tie. Last time out, Saturday's hosts delivered another strong performance, tying with Brentford on the road, which was the least they deserved for their efforts. With those three results under the belt, the hosts should fancy themselves to do well against a Palace team that will be missing some key players.
The visitors have tailed off a little in the last few weeks, first losing to Man City without really putting up a fight, while they struggled to show their superiority at home to Finnish opposition in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday night. Having had less time to prepare for this game than their hosts, without the likes of Daichi Kamada, Daniel Munoz and Ismaila Sarr, will the Eagles struggle to fly?

Our Leeds vs Crystal Palace Prediction
For my money, this game is more of a 'Both Teams to Score' candidate than the early betting market may have us believe. Of course, odds of -115 (at the time of writing) are far from huge, but when we take everything into account, they could easily be shorter, let's be honest.
For starters, the hosts have made a serious habit of both creating and conceding chances in recent games, scoring and conceding in each of their last six. At Elland Road, they've scored in seven out of eight this season. Similarly, the Eagles have scored in ten of their last 11 away games (in all competitions). Sure, they are missing a key offensive player right now, but that hasn't stopped them scoring in recent weeks, while they're up against a Leeds team that is without a clean sheet at home since August.
Taking everything into account, I'd have 'Both Teams to Score' at -125, so -115 is worth taking.
