There are two fixtures to be played in the English Premier League on the 9th of April, including the meeting between Leeds United and Crystal Palace.
The game will be played at Elland Road and the hosts begin the weekend in 13th place on 29 points while the visitors are in 14th place on 30 points.
Leeds United come into the match on the back of a crucial 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night. It was the away team who took the lead in the 12th minute but it took Leeds United only 8 minutes to score the equaliser.
The hosts moved in-front with their second goal shortly before half time and that is how the score remained in the second period.
The win over Nottingham Forest was the second win in 3 games for Leeds United having also beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-2 away from home. Leeds United were 3-0 up in that game and survived a late scare to win the game.
However, trends show Leeds United have recorded only 3 wins from their last 11 matches in all competitions.
In terms of the Premier League, Leeds United have won just 3 of their 16 most recent fixtures. The good news for the home fans is Leeds United are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home Premier League games, winning 2 of their last 3 on home soil.
Crystal Palace travel to Elland Road having beat Leicester City 2-1 at home in the Premier League last weekend. It was the first match back for manager Roy Hodgson and the Eagles had to come back from a goal down to win the game. The winning goal was scored in added time at the end of the match.
The win for Crystal Palace was their first in 14 games in all competitions. Crystal Palace have lost 4 of their last 5 matches, all of which have been in the Premier League. Trends show Crystal Palace have won only 1 of their 13 most recent games in the Premier League, which is a poor record.
In their last 16 away games in the Premier League, Crystal Palace have a disappointing record of just 2 wins. Both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 away league fixtures.
Looking ahead to the team news and Leeds United are without the injured duo of Maximilian Wöber and Tyler Adams. Adam Forshaw and Stuart Dallas are both doubts.
Crystal Palace travel without the injured trio of Wilfried Zaha, Nathan Ferguson, and Chris Richards.
Both teams will be buoyed by their recent wins but Crystal Palace have a poor away record and will be without their key attacking player, Wilfried Zaha. That makes Leeds United the favourites to win this match and we expect to see over 2.5 goals scored.
