Now, let’s take a closer look at some football betting angles for Sunday’s FA Community Shield fixture:
Crystal Palace v Liverpool – Sunday, 3pm
- FA Cup holders Crystal Palace will be pleased they’ve managed to hold onto a couple of key players so far during this transfer window but the Eagles have other worries, with a decision yet to be made in terms of which European competition they’ll be participating in this season.
- Notwithstanding that, Oliver Glasner will be hoping his side can get off to a perfect start to the season here with silverware, although the last four of the other debutants in this fixture have all failed to do so.
- It took a while for Crystal Palace to get up to speed last season and they’ll be hoping for a much quicker start, this is perfect preparation and history suggests we should be in for a competitive fixture with only one of their last seven meetings being won by more than one goal
——————————– - Premier League champions Liverpool have really strengthened their squad with the arrivals of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez, whilst the reds will be hoping the likely departure of Darwin Nunez will help their cause in signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle.
- Arne Slot’s side are favourites to retain the title this season and will be hoping to claim their first bit of silverware on Sunday, history suggests they’ll do just that given they’ve lost just one of their last eighteen games against Crystal Palace in all competitions.
- Despite that domination, i’m expecting goals in this one as only one of their last six head-to-heads have produced three of more goals, i think we’ll see a low scoring affair but the Reds will get the job done.
Prediction: Liverpool To Win & Under 2.5 Goals, Crystal Palace 0-2 Liverpool
