Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Buoyed by a 4-1 win over Watford, Crystal Palace will look to climb to top ten when they face Burnley on Matchday 27. The Eagles regained a much-needed confidence at the weekend, and they are surely capable of beating Burnley, who struggle on the travels. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Wilfried Zaha, who scored a brace in the midweek triumph, while Ghana international Andre Ayew is pushing for a start.
The Clarets, on the other hand, did well to beat Spurs at home on Wednesday evening, but given their anything but good away record (1-5-6), anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Both Gudmundsson and Vydra are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to London.
Highlighted Player (Christian Benteke):
Christian Benteke, born on 3th of December 1990 is a Belgian football player with roots from Congo. Benteke started his career at KRC Genk and after playing for Standard Liege, KV Mechelen, KV Kortrijk and Aston Villa the striker got transferred to Liverpool. Benteke is 191cm and is known for being a very strong goal scoring striker. In May 2010 Benteke made his debut for the Belgian national team.
Christian Benteke didn’t win any mayor prices yet. In the season 2008/2009 he won the national league of Belgium. Benteke is signed by Nike and got transferred to Liverpool for 46 million euro which makes him the second most expensive football player from Belgium. Benteke’s nickname is The Beast or Bentegoal.
Highlighted Team (Burnley):
Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
