Leicester vs Crystal Palace Bet Builder Tips: Saturday, October 15th

Leicester vs Crystal Palace is the early kickoff on Saturday and we’ve compiled a bet builder for it. The focus will be on whether the hosts can move back off the bottom of the table.

While attention must also be given to Crystal Palace and after getting the better of Leeds last Sunday, Patrick Vieria’s men will look to make back-to-back wins in the top flight.

Leicester vs Crystal Palace Preview

Saturday, October 15th, 12:30 (UK)

A huge step forward at the start of last week, a bigger step backwards at the end. After beating Nottingham Forest 4-0 and subsequently climbing off the foot of the Premier League, the Foxes now find themselves propping up the division once again.

While they do so because of a combination of factors. First, Brendan Rodgers oversaw a rather meek display at the Vitality Stadium, as Bournemouth ran out 2-1 winners. Secondly, Forest earned a much-needed point at home to Aston Villa two days later.

This means the pendulum of managerial pressure has swung back across the Midlands. Although the Leicester owners kept faith with the current managerial incumbent, faith can only last so long.

Faith that may expire if results continue to go against the King Power outfit and with Crystal Palace coming to town on Saturday, this will be identified as a must-win fixture for Brendan Rodgers and his players.

However, this could be easier said than done and although early on, the Eagles have not soared as high as many expected, they do come into this encounter having picked up a welcome win.

One that saw them come from behind to beat Leeds at Selhurst Park and if that 2-1 win acts as the true catalyst for the rest of their league campaign, this could spell yet more bad news for Leicester.

With Leicester starting this Premier League weekend at the bottom of the table, I envisage they will still be there at the end of it. Although a point could be enough to make some progress, I cannot see them earning any.

Which is why I have plumped for a Crystal Palace win on Saturday and with Patrick Vieria’s men being priced at odds of 3.10 to win at the King Power, this as a standalone bet is also worth some consideration.
While I also gave some consideration to Wilfried Zaha when it came to the scoring of goals and although adding the Ivorian to the coupon was tempting, I have opted for colleague Odsonne Eduoard instead.

Especially as there is a neat subplot where Eduoard is involved and with the striker previously playing under Brendan Rodgers at Celtic, a goal against him would only cause the Ulsterman further anguish.

Should Eduoard find the net at the weekend, then half the task is done in terms of total goals and for those who also like the sound of a 2-0 Palace win, you can back this at a rather tempting 19.00.

To wrap things up, I have dipped into the corner market and with six or more in total adding a nice layer of meat to the bones, my bet builder is now ready to go. One that is currently offering odds of 8.00
