Liverpool vs Crystal Palace – No Stake for already champions Liverpool – Game Preview, Key Stats, Betting Predictions.
Liverpool – Party Mode, But Still Potent
Having already secured the Premier League title, Liverpool‘s focus is now on lifting the trophy in front of a packed Anfield, something they didn’t get to enjoy in 2020. While their intensity has understandably dropped (D1, L2 since securing the title), Liverpool remain a dangerous attacking force, having scored 2+ goals in a record 31 league games this season.
Despite missing some key figures and rotating the squad, the Reds still pose a threat through Mohamed Salah (28 goals, 18 assists) and Luis Diaz, while young stars like Cody Gakpo and Szoboszlai have plenty to prove before the summer break. Defensive lapses have emerged, with seven goals conceded in their last three games, which further boosts the value of a BTTS & Over 2.5 pick.

Crystal Palace – Flying High After Cup Glory
Palace are riding a seven-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, including a stunning FA Cup final victory over Man City and a midweek 4-2 demolition of Wolves. The Eagles are playing with freedom and flair under Oliver Glasner, and the likes of Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta have hit top form at the right time.
Palace have scored at least two goals in five of their last six matches, and they will be confident of testing a Liverpool backline that has looked far from stable in recent weeks.
Â
Historical Trends & Match Context
- The reverse fixture earlier this season ended 2-1 in Liverpool’s favour, and last season’s clash at Anfield also saw Palace win 2-1.
- Palace have found the net in five straight games, and Liverpool have conceded in each of their last four.
- With nothing riding on the outcome and both sides in celebratory or relaxed moods, a wide-open, entertaining match is the likeliest scenario.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace Match Preview Conclusion
With Liverpool set to celebrate their title in style and Palace looking to cap a historic season with a strong away performance, expect both sides to play on the front foot. Given Liverpool’s firepower and Palace’s current form, a high-scoring game with goals at both ends is highly probable.
