Crystal Palace vs Lech Poznan Predictions
Palace’s uneven start opens the door for Lech
Crystal Palace have lost three of their first five games, including a 3-2 Premier League defeat to Ipswich Town last time out. Pierre Sage has yet to reproduce the results of last season, when Palace won the Europa Conference League under Oliver Glasner.
The defensive record has also been inconsistent. Palace have kept only one clean sheet in five matches and have conceded 11 goals so far this season.
Lech Poznan bring a much steadier sequence to this Europa League trip. Niels Frederiksen’s side have lost only once in their last ten matches in all competitions, while their run to the Round of 16 in last season’s Conference League adds further European background.
Palace’s three defeats in five and Lech’s single loss across ten matches make the draw more appealing, and I’m backing the draw at 4.75.
Tip: Draw @ with N/A
Recent scorelines make 2-2 hard to ignore
Palace have scored at least twice in three consecutive matches, giving them a clear attacking return before this home fixture. Their 3-2 defeat to Ipswich also continued a run in which they have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five games.
Lech have produced similar scoring numbers from a different sequence. Both teams have scored in four of their last five fixtures, while Frederiksen’s side have found the net at least twice in six of their previous eight outings.
The visitors have lost only one of their last ten matches, keeping the draw firmly relevant to the result side of the correct-score call. Palace’s recent games, meanwhile, have repeatedly reached the scoring level required for a 2-2 finish.
With Palace scoring twice or more in three straight games and conceding at least twice in four of five, a 2-2 draw could be worth a look at 19.00.
