Jeff Stelling and Laura Woods deliver score predictions for Burnley vs Crystal Palace


The Clarets are winless in their last three outings in the Premier League, but did come from behind to claim a point against Brighton last weekend.
By comparison, the Eagles had won two on the bounce prior to their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Leeds United on Monday evening, but struggled to find their rhythm without star man Wilfried Zaha.

Speaking to Sky Sports’ Super 6, however, Stelling suggested that they may have to settle for a sharing of the spoils.
He said: “Crystal Palace looked void of creativity at Elland Road on Monday, and without Wilfried Zaha they will struggle again.
"Burnley earned a point against Brighton after coming from behind, but they will be happy to sit in and stifle Palace in this one. I will have to sit on the fence.”
Stelling predicts a 0-0 draw.

Hide AdThe Soccer Saturday host’s Sky Sports colleague Laura Woods has taken a more optimistic view of the clash, however.
She said: "Without Zaha I think Palace will struggle to score at home against a tough Burnley side.”
Woods predicts a narrow 1-0 win for the Clarets.
Burnley won by that scoreline when the two sides met at Turf Moor back in November, with Chris Wood scoring the decisive goal.
