TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Crystal Palace are in supreme form at the moment and must have dreaded the international break as this may affect their momentum. Playing with great style going forward and in star man Wilfried Zaha they have one of the players of the season so far. The defence is just about holding it together and does not fill me with confidence however. Always likely to concede they really do need to tighten up. Midfielder David Wright has returned to the club after his impressive loan spell with Gillingham, one loanee leaving the club is David Goodwillie. The Premiership striker hardly getting a look in due to the amazing form of Glen Murray.
Millwall were without a win in five before they beat Bolton last time out and the team is performing at a low level. They are are showing inconsistency in team selection and have a very weak defence. Progress from the lower end of League One to Championship consolidation was achieved with a largely settled back four. However this season key defenders have departed and injuries have taken their toll , With uncertainty creeping into their play and their inability to keep a clean sheet they always go into games on the back foot. Millwall have decent attacking options and the front line has goals in it. Andy Keogh and Chris Wood are proven internationals and Darius Henderson knows where the net is. Millwall do try and play good football but they lack a physical presence in the side. Millwall are hoping Andy Keogh passes a fitness test after the Ireland international suffered concussion in the win over Faroe Islands.

CRYSTAL PALACE - MILLWALL: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

2.17 Crystal Palace (Pinnacle)is the selection in this game. Crystal Palace are in fine form and continue to confound the doubters. Once relegation favourites The Eagles are soaring at the moment. Results are gained through stylish attacking play and even going behind they have the tenacity to rescue results. With six wins from the last seven games Palace are in great form and confidence, with the defeated teams among the top in the division Millwall should hold no fears at all.

CRYSTAL PALACE - MILLWALL :ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Crystal Palace 0 is the selection here 1.56 (Pinnacle) The only problem we can throw at Palace at the moment is they seem to do just enough in winning. We would not suggest a handicap bet above -0.5 at the moment. In 8 wins across all competitions Palace have managed all 8 by exactly 1 goal. With late winners thrown in and an equal amount of late goals conceded they cannot be trusted to win well. At the draw no bet 1.56 may seem short enough but Palace should easily be odds against here and the 1X2 quote of 2.17 is massive. The draw no bet should be much shorter for me and 1.40 would be around the correct price. Millwall are far lesser opponents than Palace have beaten in recent weeks so the win should be a formality. All be it a likely one goal formality!

CRYSTAL PALACE - MILLWALL:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 1.94 (Pinnacle) is the bet here. Both sides are big overs teams and this should be a banker. Quite a surprise to see the price for two sides with such attacking qualities and defensive frailties. With both side's games averaging 3.40 goals per match we are looking at one of the bets of the weekend here. In the last 10 matches 6 games have gone over 2.50. With neither side hardly capable of a clean sheet (2 in 20 matches for both sides) Take the 1.94 at this early stage before the price drops, nearing the weekend punters will get onto this and the value will have gone.
