Liverpool vs Crystal Palace: Premier League Prediction (25.05.2025)

On May 25, 2025, at 22:00 WIB, the final round match of the English Premier League will feature Liverpool vs Crystal Palace. This is a clash between the Premier League champion and the FA Cup winner. Bookmakers clearly favor the home side. But is it really that straightforward? Let’s take a closer look and share our prediction.

Liverpool

“The Merseysiders” secured the league title ahead of schedule. Since then, the team has noticeably relaxed and hasn’t shown the same level of effort on the pitch. Heading into this match, Liverpool are on a three-game winless streak. They first lost to Chelsea (1:3), then squandered a two-goal lead against Arsenal (2:2), and most recently fell to Brighton (2:3). A similar attitude is expected for this final game. Perhaps the only highly motivated player remains Salah, who is still in contention for the Golden Boot.

Crystal Palace

“The Eagles” have had an excellent season. They aimed for a European spot, and under Oliver Glasner, they succeeded—though through an alternative path. The team won the FA Cup, defeating Manchester City in the final (1:0). It was their first major trophy and it secured a place in the Europa League. This makes the upcoming match irrelevant for Crystal Palace. However, the team is in great form and isn’t planning to ease up. In the last round, they beat Wolverhampton (4:2), extending their unbeaten streak to seven matches.

Head-to-Head Stats

In the last five head-to-head meetings, Crystal Palace have proven to be a tough opponent for Liverpool: the win tally stands at 2:1 for Liverpool, with two matches ending in draws. Notably, Liverpool’s two wins came by only a one-goal margin.

Prediction

In the Liverpool vs Crystal Palace match, we back the visitors. Even though neither side has strong motivation, their mindsets differ greatly. Arne Slot’s team is coasting through the season’s end, while the Eagles are flying high. Thus, we recommend a bet on Crystal Palace +2 handicap at odds of 1.52.
