Crystal Palace Have Won Recent Home Matches
Pierre Sage’s Crystal Palace have won games at Selhurst Park recently. Three of Palace’s five victories this season have come at home.
The Eagles thumped Lech Poznan 4-0 at home in their Europa League opener and had 2.23 XG and 16 shots. Palace followed that victory with a 3-1 home win against Nottingham Forest and a 2-0 loss to Newcastle.
The south Londoners hit back after the Newcastle home defeat and beat Fulham 1-0 away in the EFL Cup.
Palace couldn’t build on that triumph and lost 2-0 away at Tottenham. Jean-Philippe Mateta was sent off after 13 minutes and the Eagles conceded once in each half.
Hoffenheim Unconvincing on the Road
Bundesliga side Hoffenheim are out of form away this season and are winless in five of their seven games.
The Kraichgauers lost three away games in a row at Koln 3-2, OFI Crete 2-0 and Pederborn 3-1. They ended that streak with a 2-1 victory against the Bundesliga’s bottom side Borussia Monchengladbach.
Hoffenheim are winless in their previous two matches, both away. That run started with a 1-1 Pokal draw at Kiel.
Christian Ilzer’s team also lost 2-0 at Werder Bremen on Saturday. The Kraichgauers allowed 1.29 XG, faced 17 shots and conceded two goals in the final 35 minutes.
