Bet 97

97.) Hull City v Crystal Palace - LAY 3-0 @ 20

Pre-bet
These two teams were promoted to the Premier League together but have both had very different starts to the season. Hull City have been involved in a number of low-scoring games and their strength has been keeping the game tight defensively. Looks like Palace will still be under caretaker manager Keith Mullen for this game, although Tony Pulis looks set to be announced new manager and therefore may have some impact in this game. Palace put in a decent performance against Everton in their last game and it was only due to poor finishing that they don't win the game. Despite the big gap in league positions I don't think there's a great difference in the quality between the two squads and I expect a close game with not many goals here. Therefore 3-0 looks incredibly unlikely seeing as Hull have only scored 9 in their first 11 games and that Palace have looked a more defensively secure in recent games.

Result
Hull 0-1 Crystal Palace (+£0.89)

Verdict
Pretty much got my prediction of the game spot on here. Turned into a close encounter like I was expecting and a Palace win wasn't a total surprise for me here. Hull still lack goal threat. 5/5
