Draw

Four of the last seven league meetings between these two clubs have ended all square.

Two teams that are desperate to put some more points on the board go head-to-head on Wednesday night as Leicester City play host to Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Leicester vs Crystal Palace prediction: Possible stalemate on the cards?

Key Stats

  • Leicester have only managed to win one of their last six matches across all competitions.
  • Two of the Eagles' last three league games have ended in draws.
  • Both teams have scored in three of Leicester's last four fixtures.
  • Four of Crystal Palace's last six outings have ended with both teams scoring.

Correct score prediction: Leicester 1-1 Crystal Palace

These two teams played out a 2-2 draw in September's reverse league meeting and stalemates have become pretty common between the Foxes and the Eagles over the last few years, so you can see why we're backing a 1-1 draw on Wednesday night.

Leicester preview: No league wins in six

The Foxes made the short trip to Villa Park for their last league game where they managed to hold Aston Villa at half-time.

However, the hosts broke the deadlock just before the hour mark but Leicester responded really well and got back onto level terms five minutes later through Stephy Mavididi. The next goal was always going to prove crucial and it went the way of Villa in the 76th minute and proved enough to win the game for the home side.

Issahaku Fatawu, Wilfred Ndidi, Mads Hermansen, Jannik Vestergaard, Kasey McAteer and Ricardo Pereira make up the injury concerns for the Foxes heading into their midweek clash with Crystal Palace.

Predicted lineup: Stolarczyk (GK), Faes, Coady, Justin, Thomas, Winks, Soumare, El Khannouss, Ayew, Vardy & Mavididi

Crystal Palace preview: Drawn two of last three

The Eagles entertained Chelsea at Selhurst Park in their last outing in the Premier League for what turned out to be a tight and tense 90 minutes.

Chelsea took the lead early on and looked like they were going to see out a 1-0 victory until John-Philippe Mateta equalised eight minutes from time to rescue Palace a share of the spoils.

Matheus Franca, Adam Wharton, Trevoh Chalobah, Will Hughes and Rob Holding could miss the trip to the midlands through injury.

Predicted lineup: Henderson (GK), Guéhi, Muñoz, Lacroix, Mitchell, Richards, Lerma, Eze, Doucoure, Mateta & Sarr

Player to watch: Eberechi Eze

Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze was attracting the interest of Manchester City with his performances last season but the England international has made a slow start to the 2024/25 campaign.

Eze has only managed to score two Premier League goals so far this season but has chipped in with three assists. Last season, the Eagles' midfielder scored 11 times in the league alone, his best total since scoring 14 times in the Championship for QPR during the 2019/20 campaign.

Will we see vintage Eze on Wednesday night?

Eze has started to put in the kind of performances we have come to expect from the creative, goalscoring midfielder having scored in two of his last three games for Crystal Palace.
