Leicester City VS Crystal Palace

Leicester host Crystal Palace in this English Premier League round 21 at King Power Stadium Thursday morning Beijing time. This is the best league on the planet by a clear margin. A match of much lower than average quality for this league's standards is on the cards here. However, my fans and I have yet another lucrative betting opportunity to increase the winning streak! We have won 12/17 last picks in this league. Not much was expected from Leicester before the season started but they have still been a disappointment so far this season. They are currently in 19th place in the standings in this league with a total of 20 clubs. Three worst teams will be relegated and Leicester will, most probably, suffer this "terrible fate". Even sacking S. Cooper and hiring the inexperienced Ruud van Nistelroy as the new manager has not helped – quite the contrary -  in fact! I see them having potential for only a limited improvement.. They are in 19th place in my power ranking – marginally below Ipswich, in 18th place. The sophisticated power ranking reflects the teams' pure class with the best possible starting eleven – excluding "special" factors – such as motivation and fatigue - caused by a tough schedule.. Leicester have scored only 23 goals and have allowed a whopping 44 goals – just one less than Southampton, the worst team in this league! The Leicester defenders often give poor/too risky passes near their own goal and their defensive structure, as a whole, is not good enough to do well at this level. Crystal Palace finished last season strongly but this season has, in all honesty, been a disappointment especially results-wise but also – to a lesser extent – in performance-wise.. They are in 15th place with 21 points to their account. However they can improve, especially offensively! They have scored 21 goals and have conceded 28 goals – one less than the reigning champions, Manchester City! Crystal Palace's number of expected points (xPTS) is, however, 26.43. In terms of expected goals (xG) they have been massively unlucky! Indeed, they would have deserved 30 or even 31 goals in this league! Yes, Leicester will surely fight hard in front of their fans but cannot match the visitors in any area of the game.. Indeed, Crystal Palace are still clear favourites here. Odds of over 1.90 are available on the betting market and this is too high! Let's also remember that according to transfermarkt.com, a reliable German source, Crustal are the bigger team – by a big margin. Their squad has an estimated market value of some 427 million euros.. This is, in my expert opinion,  more or less correct. The Leicester players are valued at an estimated total of only some 274 million..

I want to emphasize that Leicester have lost five Premier League games in a row! In their most recent match they did beat a much smaller team, QPR, a team from the second tier, 6-2 at home in the FA Cup. They were priced around 1.50 to win in the 90 minutes of play. Yes, they deserved to win but recorded only two more goal attempts and 0.83 more in xG than QPR. Indeed, the final score is very misleading. Before this they lost to Aston Villa 1-2 on the toad. They recorded only two shots on goal. The hosts recorded nine more goal attempts and also had more shots off goal, big scoring chances and shots inside the opponent's penalty box. Leicester generated only 0.37 in xG. In round 19 Leicester were okay as a whole but still lost to Manchester City 0-2. The visitors did record more goal attempts (14-11), shots on goals, shots off goal as well as generated more in xG. I want to emphasize that Man City have been one of the biggest disappointments in top-level European football, currently only in 6th place! In round 18 Leicester were beaten by Liverpool. The hosts were - as expected - quite dominant in this game, allowing Leicester only one shot on goal and 0.33 in xG. Liverpool recorded 19 goal attempts and 2.03 in xG. Before this Leicester faced Wolves at home and lost 0-3. The visitors deserved to win, recording more in xG, but the final score does flatter them.. Crystal Palace have won two of their last three games. In their most recent match they beat Stockport 1-0 at home despite not being at their best., They did deserve to win though as they had a whopping 75% ball possession and generated much more in xG – 1.93-0.51 to be precise. It was a FA Cup clash - Stockport play in League One, 3rd tier. Before this Crystal Palace were strong at home against a top-4 team, Chelsea as clear underdogs. It was a 1-1 draw. They recorded six shots on target – Chelsea had just one. Chelsea did record two more goal attempts though. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, had one more goal attempt. The xG numbers were 1.12-1.18. In round 19 Crystal Palace defeated Southampton 2-1 at home despite not being even close to their best, Even so, Crystal Palace recorded 12 more goal attempts and seven more shots on goal than the visitors. They also generated much more in xG. 

GOOD LUCK!

莱斯特城VS水晶宫

北京时间周四上午，英超联赛第21轮，莱斯特城主场迎战水晶宫。这是这个星球上最好的联赛。一场远低于联赛平均水平的比赛是有可能的。然而，我的粉丝和我还有另一个有利可图的投注机会来增加连胜！我们在过去的17次选秀中赢了12次。在赛季开始之前，人们对莱斯特城的期望并不高，但本赛季到目前为止，他们仍然令人失望。他们目前在联赛中排名第19位，共有20家俱乐部。三支最差的球队将被降级，莱斯特城很可能会遭受这种“可怕的命运”。甚至解雇S.库珀和聘请经验不足的范尼斯特洛伊作为新教练也没有帮助——事实上恰恰相反！我认为他们只有有限的改进潜力。在我的排名中，他们排在第19位，略低于伊普斯维奇的第18位。复杂的实力排名反映了球队的纯粹等级，包括最好的11名首发球员，排除了“特殊”因素，如由艰苦的赛程引起的动力和疲劳。莱斯特城只进了23球，丢了44球——只比南安普顿少一个，南安普顿是英超最差的球队！莱斯特城的后卫经常在自己的球门附近传球，他们的防守结构，作为一个整体，不够好，不能在这个水平上做得很好。水晶宫上赛季表现强劲，但本赛季，说实话，令人失望，尤其是在结果方面，但在较小程度上，在表现方面。他们以21分排在第15位。然而，他们可以提高，特别是进攻！他们进了21球丢了28球——比卫冕冠军曼城少1球！然而，水晶宫的预期积分（xPTS）是26.43。就预期进球（xG）而言，他们非常不走运！事实上，他们应该在这个联赛中打进30个甚至31个进球！是的，莱斯特城肯定会在他们的球迷面前努力战斗，但在比赛的任何方面都无法与客队匹敌。事实上，水晶宫在这里仍然是最受欢迎的。在投注市场上有超过1.90的赔率，这太高了！让我们也记住，根据transfermarkt.com，一个可靠的德国消息来源，克拉斯达是更大的球队-以很大的优势。据估计，这支球队的市值约为4.27亿欧元。以我的专家观点，这或多或少是正确的。莱斯特城球员的身价估计总共只有2.74亿英镑。

我想强调的是，莱斯特城已经连续输掉了五场英超比赛！在最近的一场比赛中，他们在足总杯主场以6比2击败了一支小得多的球队，QPR，一支来自第二梯队的球队。在90分钟的比赛中，他们的价格约为1.50英镑。是的，他们理应获胜，但他们只比QPR多了2次进球和0.83次射门。事实上，最后的分数很容易误导人。在此之前，他们以1-2输给了阿斯顿维拉。他们只射正了两脚。东道主的进球尝试次数增加了9次，并且有更多的射门、大得分机会和在对方禁区内的射门。莱斯特在xG中仅生成0.37。在第19轮比赛中，莱斯特城整体表现还不错，但还是0-2不敌曼城。客队的进球次数（14胜11负）、射正、射偏以及射门次数都有所增加。我想强调的是，曼城是欧洲顶级足坛最令人失望的球队之一，目前只排在第六位！在第18轮比赛中，莱斯特城被利物浦击败。不出所料，主队在这场比赛中占据了绝对优势，只让莱斯特城有1次射门，射门命中率0.33。利物浦在上半赛季有19次射门，2.03个进球。在此之前，莱斯特城主场面对狼队，以0-3输掉了比赛。客队理应获胜，他们在比赛中取得了更多的进球，但最后的比分确实让他们得意。水晶宫在最近三场比赛中赢了两场。在最近的一场比赛中，他们在主场1-0击败了斯托克波特，尽管他们并没有处于最佳状态。他们确实应该赢得比赛，因为他们拥有高达75%的控球率，并且在xG（1.93-0.51）中产生了更多的进球。这是一场足总杯的比赛，斯托克波特在英甲联赛第三级别比赛。在此之前，水晶宫在主场对阵一支排名前四的球队时表现强劲，切尔西显然处于劣势。双方1比1战平。他们有6次射正，切尔西只有1次。不过切尔西又有两次射门。另一方面，水晶宫却没有

又一次射门。xG值为1.12 ~ 1.18。在第19轮比赛中，水晶宫在主场2-1击败了南安普顿，尽管水晶宫甚至没有达到最佳状态。尽管如此，水晶宫的进球次数比客队多12次，射门次数多7次。他们在xG中也产生了更多。

好运！
