Burnley aim to end a four-game losing streak in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace sit safely in mid-table but seek consistency on the road.
Both sides average under two goals per match this season.
Kick-off set for Wednesday, December 03, 2025, at 19:30 GMT.

Burnley’s season has been rough. They’ve averaged just 0.83 goals scored and 1 conceded per game, not disastrous, but far from inspiring. The Clarets have seen over 1.5 goals in 83% of their matches, yet somehow managed 0% for over 2.5 goals. That tells you everything: plenty of effort, little payoff. Scott Parker’s men fight hard, no doubt, but struggle to finish. Zian Flemming’s bright form: four goals already, gives a glimmer of hope, yet he can’t do it all alone. The home crowd at Turf Moor will expect more intensity and sharper finishing this time.

Defensively, Burnley remain somewhat organized, conceding on average just one goal per game. Still, their discipline fades late on, as seen in their heartbreaking 3-1 defeat to Brentford after leading 1-1 in the 85th minute. It’s a confidence issue more than quality. Can Parker rally his men to finally close out a result? That’s the question. With injuries to key players like Connor Roberts and Jordan Beyer, the Clarets’ backline has been patchwork at best and that’s showing in their recent collapses.

Crystal Palace, in contrast, have been the picture of controlled aggression. Averaging 1.33 goals scored and conceding only 0.67 per match, they’ve built a reputation on defensive balance. Jean-Philippe Mateta continues to deliver up front, converting crucial chances with calm efficiency. Even after two losses, one in Europe and one to Manchester United, Oliver Glasner’s men look composed. Their away form, in particular, has impressed: just four goals conceded in six Premier League road games. That’s elite-level stability.

Still, Palace aren’t infallible. Their attack can be one-dimensional when Mateta is tightly marked, and without Ismaila Sarr (injured), they’ll miss pace on the counter. Even so, they possess enough structure to frustrate Burnley’s fragile offense. Expect a cautious game with long spells of possession and few big chances, typical of both sides’ trends this season. According to Premier League Stats, both teams average fewer than two goals per match, suggesting a tight, low-scoring contest under the lights at Turf Moor.

Scott Parker urged calm and unity as Burnley prepare to face Crystal Palace, stressing the need to turn competitive performances into Premier League results. Acknowledging the club’s poor run and defensive issues away from home, he highlighted the importance of stability, resilience and learning from recent setbacks. Parker insisted his young squad must stay level-headed, stick together and deliver a strong reaction at Turf Moor. Source: Burnley Express

X2
Crystal Palace’s defensive record on the road is among the league’s best, with just 0.67 goals conceded per match. They’ve also lost only twice in their last six away games. Burnley, on the other hand, have averaged only 0.83 goals scored and are struggling to convert chances. Without the cutting edge up front, it’s hard to see them overpowering Palace’s compact backline. Even with home support, Burnley’s form, four straight defeats, doesn’t inspire confidence. Palace’s balance and tactical discipline under Glasner make them difficult to break down, especially when holding a lead. Given both sides’ scoring averages, this match leans toward a draw or a narrow Palace win. The X2 selection offers value, reflecting Palace’s consistency and Burnley’s ongoing difficulties turning possession into goals.

Under 3.5 Goals
Burnley’s games rarely explode with goals. They’ve averaged 1.83 goals per match overall, and none of their fixtures this season have gone over 3.5. Palace are similarly conservative, with just two goals per match on average. Both teams focus heavily on structure, limiting space and relying on narrow margins. Burnley’s attack lacks firepower, while Palace tend to protect leads rather than chase big scorelines. This mix points strongly toward a low-scoring affair. Even if one side takes the lead, neither is likely to push for a high-risk second half. Given the data, Under 3.5 Goals feels not only logical but statistically secure.
