Leeds United vs Crystal Palace Prediction and Betting Tips 20 December 2025

Elland Road will host an intriguing contrast of moods as Leeds United look to get back on course against an in-form Crystal Palace side. Given their attacking potentials, our prediction points toward a 2-2 draw. The Whites head into this clash without fresh injury worries, but recent results remain a concern, with just one win from their last five (0.8 points per game). Defensive issues persist, as they are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and concede an average of 2.1 goals per match, despite generating a respectable 1.45 expected goals.

The Eagles, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence, with the team winning three of their last five games and averaging 1.9 points per game overall. The absence of Daichi Kamada through injury is a notable blow, though Will Hughes is expected to slot in seamlessly. Palace’s away form has been particularly strong, with an 80% win rate and only 0.6 goals conceded per game on their travels.

Historically, this fixture leans toward goals, with 69% of the last 13 H2Hs seeing both teams score and 77% clearing Over 1.5 goals. Therefore, these betting options should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 goals.

This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 20:00.
