In brief

Final score: Leeds United 0-0 Crystal Palace. Sixth-placed Leeds United hosted seventeenth-placed Crystal Palace. Leeds United arrived in mixed form and Crystal Palace in poor form. Leeds United were unbeaten at home and Crystal Palace had won one of their two away games. Leeds United had one of the league's tightest defences; Crystal Palace had one of the league's leakiest defences. Past meetings between the two had been fairly even. Crystal Palace had the longer injury list. The model made Leeds United clear favourites and expected plenty of goals. The model gave Leeds United a better chance than the bookmakers did.

Key factors in prediction

Statistics baseline: 2026 season
Leeds United vs Crystal Palace
Attack strength
1.19 / 1.05
Defence strength
1.60 / 0.57
Form factor
1.07 / 0.75
Head-to-head
1.00 / 1.00
Injury factor
0.91 / 0.85
No units: every number compares a team with an average Premier League side, which scores 1.00. Attack is a team's scoring rate at home or away (built from goals and expected goals) against the league average, so 1.16 means 16% more than average. Defence is the same for goals conceded, turned round so higher is better. Head-to-head and injuries nudge each side's expected goals: 1.15 adds 15%, 0.85 takes 15% off, 1.00 changes nothing.

Where we differ from the bookmakers, they have usually been right: in our backtests, backing the outcomes our model rated higher lost money. Treat a difference as something to look into, not a bet.
