Selhurst Park welcomes Crystal Palace and Burnley this Saturday in the Premier League. Both sides sit in the bottom half of the table either too close for comfort to the relegation battle or in the thick of it.
- Date: 24/02/2024
- Kick-off time: 15:00
- Location: Selhurst Park
The relegation zone and safety are separated by just five points, but both sides are in desperate need of a three point haul to get themselves out of the relegation conversation.
Crystal Palace currently sit 16th in the Premier League after 24 games. The Eagles have six wins, six draws and 12 losses, leaving them on 24 points, just five points above the relegation zone.
The Eagles have been quiet in front of goal this season, scoring 27 goals in 24 games, giving them an average of 1.13 goals a game. At the other end of the pitch, Palace have been much better. In 24 games, The Eagles have conceded 43 goals and have kept five clean sheets.
Burnley sit just below Palace in 19th in the Premier League. In 25 games, The Clarets have three wins, four draws and 18 losses which leaves them on 13 points, equal with Sheffield United and seven points from safety.
The Clarets have only managed to score 25 goals in 25 games, giving them an average of just one goal a game. Along with this, Zeki Amdouni, their top scorer, has only four goals this season, the lowest of all top scorers in the league. Burnley have struggled just as much at the other end of the pitch, conceding 55 goals and keeping just two clean sheets.
This will be the 55th meeting between Crystal Palace and Burnley, with the first coming back in 1909. Burnley have the better record in the fixture with 21 wins in comparison to Palace’s 14 wins, the other 19 games ending in a draw.
The last five games in the fixture have seen two Burnley wins, two draws and most recently a Crystal Palace win. Also, in three of the last five games, there have only been one team on the scoresheet, all in wins.
