⭐ Editorial Prediction
Considering the current trends, both teams are more focused on maintaining their results rather than engaging in open, high-scoring football. From this perspective, a total under 3.5 goals seems like the most likely scenario. Crystal Palace have scored more than 1.5 goals in only 1 of their last 10 matches, even against a team from the sixth tier that knocked Oliver Glasner's side out of the FA Cup. The Eagles are not in great form, but given the home advantage and the significant difference in class, one goal should be enough for them to secure a win.
