Crystal Palace vs Southampton Prediction and Betting Tips | 29th October 2022

The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Southampton lock horns with Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace side at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Crystal Palace vs Southampton Preview

Southampton are currently in 16th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side held Arsenal to an admirable 1-1 draw last week and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are in 13th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent so far this year. The Eagles suffered a damaging 3-0 defeat at the hands of Everton in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Crystal Palace have an impressive forward line but have flattered to deceive so far this season. The likes of Wilfried Zaha and Eberechi Eze are highly effective on their day and will look to be at their best in this fixture.

Southampton can pack a punch on their day but are yet to hit their stride so far this season. Crystal Palace are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
