Crystal Palace vs Southampton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
The final match of 2024 at Selhurst Park will come to us on Sunday afternoon when Crystal Palace play host to Southampton. The Eagles are 17th in the league standings with 17 points while the Saints are bottom of the table with just six points after 18 games. Check out our prediction below!
Crystal Palace have been the dominant side in this fixture, winning each of their last three Premier League matches against this opponent. The Eagles have also only lost one of their last 13 top-flight home matches against newly promoted teams which was against Fulham back in December 2022.
The visitors have been very poor this season and have not won their final Premier League game of a calendar year since 2002, drawing six and losing seven - they are also the biggest outsiders on the card on Sunday. Let’s get into the key stats at play in this bottom-half contest.

Crystal Palace - Southampton: Form Analysis
After managing only three points from their first eight games this season, Crystal Palace are starting to find their feet again, having now earned 14 points from their last 10 matches.
The Eagles played out a goalless draw away to Bournemouth on Boxing Day, and have now lost only one of their last seven league games which was against high-flyers Arsenal (W2 D4 L1).
However, Palace will be looking for improvement at home over the second half of the campaign, as they are winless in their last four and have only managed seven points at Selhurst Park to date.
Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last four league matches against this opponent!
That does not bode well for Southampton, who are at risk of being cut adrift having only managed a mere six points over their first 18 league matches this season.
The Saints’ most recent league game ended in a 1-0 defeat to West Ham United, marking their eighth match without victory and fourth in succession without scoring a goal.
The visitors have also failed to find the net in four of their last five on the road and have earned just two points from nine away games this season.

Crystal Palace & Southampton Squad Analysis
Eberechi Eze returned to Oliver Glasner’s lineup for the match against Bournemouth on Boxing Day after missing the defeat to Arsenal, and he is expected to be available this week as well.
Adam Wharton, though, is now expected to remain out for longer than expected due to a groin injury and will join Chadli Riad (knee) and Matheus Franca (rib) on the sidelines this weekend.
Ismaila Sarr has scored three goals in three games and is one to watch in this match!
Southampton’s new boss Ivan Juric would have been fairly pleased with his side’s performance despite the defeat on his debut, with Yukinari Sugawara and Kyle Walker-Peters both putting in good solid performances out wide.
Paul Onuachu, who was handed a start by Juric, missed several presentable opportunities, while Mateus Fernandes and Tyler Dibling also passed up a couple of late chances.
The Saints currently have four players ruled out through injury, including Juan Larios (knock), Will Smallbone (hamstring), Ross Stewart (calf) and Gavin Bazunu (Achilles).

Our Crystal Palace vs Southampton Prediction
Barring that heavy defeat to Arsenal a couple of weeks ago, Crystal Palace have shown significant signs of improvement of late and will be expecting all three points here against a struggling Southampton.
The Saints were much better in attack in the last match but wasteful finishing ultimately led to their downfall. They may notch a goal here but we feel the hosts will be able to get on the scoresheet first. Our Crystal Palace vs Southampton prediction is Crystal Palace to score first
