Prediction: Draw or Leeds Wins
Palace are among the best defensive units of this campaign, conceding only 15 goals. Only Arsenal have conceded fewer goals than the Eagles in the Premier League, although their chances of a clean sheet could be tested by their European game this week. Palace have won three games in a row on the road, but Leeds are showing great resilience in their last three league fixtures.
The hosts could find their way past Palaceâs defensive strengths to find at least a goal, and our Leeds vs Crystal Palace prediction is that Draw or Leeds Wins.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Leeds
| Date | Competition | Opponent | Opponent Goals | Brighton Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Liverpool | 2 | 0 |
| 7 Dec 2025 | Premier League | West Ham | 1 | 1 |
| 4 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Aston Villa | 4 | 3 |
| 30 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Nottingham Forest | 0 | 2 |
| 22 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Brentford | 1 | 2 |
| 9 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Crystal Palace | 0 | 0 |
A 1-1 away draw at Brentford extended the unbeaten run for Leeds to three matches (W1, D2). With four of those points coming against Chelsea and Liverpool, the Whites are back in contention to avoid relegation.
Leeds faithful will be expecting their side to continue that push, especially since their recent Elland Road form has been impressive. They have lost only one of their last four home league games (W2, D1), with the recent two games seeing them win against Chelsea and draw against Liverpool.
Daniel James and Sean Longstaff have been long-term absences for Leeds, while Lukas Nmecha has missed Leedsâ last two games. His absence was due to a hamstring injury, and he will hope to get fit for this fixture.
The hosts have been lining up in a 3-5-2 formation over their last three games, which could continue here. That will leave the duties of scoring to the resurgent Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Crystal Palace
| Date | Competition | Opponent | Opponent Goals | Sunderland Goals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Newcastle | 0 | 1 |
| 6 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Manchester City | 3 | 0 |
| 4 Dec 2025 | Premier League | Liverpool | 1 | 1 |
| 29 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Bournemouth | 2 | 3 |
| 22 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Fulham | 1 | 0 |
| 9 Nov 2025 | Premier League | Arsenal | 2 | 2 |
Only Manchester City have conceded fewer goals than the Eagles, but their exertions in Europe on Thursday could play a part. They were beaten 3-0 at home last week in the Premier League, which was just their second defeat in seven league games.
That sequence saw them win four games, three of which have come in a row away from home. Indeed, with five wins from their last seven league trips, the Eagles are proving to be a tough opponent away from home.
Palace have a longer list of injuries to contend with ahead of this game. Daichi Kamada is out of action for ten weeks, while Ismaila Sarr has left for the Africa Cup of Nations. Daniel Munoz is also sidelined with a knee problem.
The visitors are flagbearers of the 3-4-3 system, which will likely continue here. That would leave the burden of scoring to Jean-Philippe Mateta. The French forward has seven goals in this Premier League campaign and will be key to their chances.
Final Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Leeds +0
European Handicap: Draw or Leeds Wins
Predicted Scores: 1-1, 2-1. 2-2
