Crystal Palace vs. Sheffield Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Crystal Palace vs. Sheffield

Seeking a recovery after conceding five goals in their recent outings, Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace and Sheffield United will clash at Selhurst Park on Tuesday.

Despite holding a five-point cushion above the relegation zone, Palace faces the challenge of regaining form. Meanwhile, Sheffield United, positioned at the bottom of the table, is yet to secure a victory away from home.

After a disappointing 5-0 defeat to Arsenal in their latest match, Crystal Palace has managed to secure only one victory in their last 10 Premier League fixtures. Frustrated Eagles fans have expressed dissatisfaction not only with the team’s on-field performance but also with the club ownership and first-team management.

What to remember – Crystal Palace vs. Sheffield

Once known for their defensive solidity under the guidance of veteran coach Roy Hodgson, Crystal Palace has experienced a shift in fortunes. During the last 10 Premier League matches, 62% of the club’s goals conceded occurred, surpassing a rate of two goals per game.

Although they managed a 3-1 victory against Brentford in their final 2023 fixture, ending an eight-game winless streak, subsequent performances have been less favorable. Palace faced a setback in the FA Cup third round when they drew at home against Everton, and a loss in the replay on Merseyside followed their mid-season break.

The recent 5-0 defeat to Arsenal has heightened speculation about Hodgson’s future, especially considering the availability of several notable coaches in the market. Despite the challenges, the former England boss has remained resolute and is gearing up to prepare his team for the upcoming match against struggling Sheffield United.
