Leeds v Crystal Palace Betting Form?

Leeds go into this clash on the back of three games unbeaten and with the Whites now three points clear of the dop zone, they will be hoping to put some distance between themselves and 18^th placed West Ham. The Hammers play Manchester City this weekend and with Leeds boasting a good record at home, they will be seeing this as a key opportunity.

Only Tottenham and Aston Villa have come away from LS11 with all three points this season, and in both games, United were decent value for the draw at least. Elland Road has drawn plaudits for its old school atmosphere in recent matches against Chelsea and Liverpool and it is sure to be rocking this weekend.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been one of the key men in Leeds’ recent renaissance, with the big man scoring in each of his last four league matches to propel himself into the England conversation. With Lukas Nmecha’s continuing injury issues, the onus will once again be on him to come up with a goal.

LEEDS RECENT FORM

DRAW: Brentford 1-1 Leeds. Sunday 14^th December 2025.
DRAW: Leeds 3-3 Chelsea. Saturday 6^th December 2025.
WIN: Leeds United 3-1 Chelsea. Saturday 3^rd December 2025.

This match – originally slated for 2pm on Sunday before Palace complained – comes in the middle of some heavy fixture congestion for the Eagles and Oliver Glasner is having to shuffle his pack. A 2-2 draw against Finnish outfit KuPS saw the second string get a run out, but the Austrian gaffer will have one eye on Tuesday’s EFL Cup quarter-final with Arsenal.

The South Londoners are having a remarkable season given how stretched their squad is with the Eagles having soared to fifth in the league, two points off a top four spot. They have won their last three league games on the road against Fulham, Burnley, and the hapless Wolves, and they will certainly be eyeing Saturday as a chance to get all three points.

CRYSTAL PALACE RECENT FORM

DRAW: Crystal Palace 2-2 KuPS. Thursday 18^th December 2025.
LOSS: Crystal Palace 0-3 Manchester City. Sunday 14^th December 2025.
WIN: Shelbourne 0-3 Crystal Palace. Thursday 11^th December 2025.

What Are The Best Odds On Leeds v Crystal Palace?

It is almost a ‘pick em’ this weekend with Leeds available to back at 13/8 and Crystal Palace priced up at 7/4 to get three points on the road. The last meeting between the two at Elland Road saw Palace come from 1-0 down to win 5-1 and set Leeds into a relegation tailspin that they wouldn’t recover from.

A 5-1 win this weekend for Palace might seem a little fanciful at 80/1, but you can back the away side to come from behind and win at 11/1 whilst a win for the Londoners with both sides scoring is 17/4.

In our individual markets, it is no surprise to see both sides’ main men leading the way in the first goalscorer markets. DCL is 9/2 to keep his impressive run of form going by opening the scoring and you can back Jean-Phillippe Mateta to get the scoreboard moving at 23/5.

Leeds v Crystal Palace Spread Betting Prices

There are a couple of spread betting markets which are worth a look this weekend and the first is the time of the first Leeds goal. No side in the league has scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches than Leeds’ tally of five and you can trade the first Leeds goal minute at 52.5-55.5

Another market worthy of note is the Headed Goal Minutes market. Leeds have scored headers in two of their last three matches and they have the aerial prowess to trouble teams. Since switching to a back three and adding Jaka Bijol into the side, they have another 6ft+ presence at set pieces and Calvert-Lewin nodded home a late equaliser last weekend. You can trade Headed Goal Minutes at 22-25.

We also have all of our traditional football spread betting markets available with Total Goals at 2.45-2.65, Shirt Numbers priced at 32-35, Bookings available to trade at 38-42 and you can buy or sell Total Goal Minutes at 124-134.

Leeds v Crystal Palace Betting Specials and Price Boosts

With Leeds playing two up top now, Calvert-Lewin is almost certainly going to be playing alongside Noah Okafor and you can back both of them to score at 11/1 from 8/1. German midfielder Anton Stach is Leeds’ man on corners and               Pascal Struijk is one of the likely beneficiaries. Stach is 17/4 from 18/5 to get an assist whilst Struijk has been boosted from 11/1 to 15/1 to score a header.

For Palace, Mateta has been pushed from 31/20 to 17/10 to hit the back of the net, with Spanish international Yeremy Pino is 23/5 from 4/1 to have 2+ shots on target.
