Crystal Palace vs Liverpool Predictions on talkSPORT - Optimal Wagers and Expert Guidance for the Community Shield Game
Liverpool are gearing up for the Premier League opener against Bournemouth, but first, they will face Crystal Palace in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday. The Reds are the strong favorites to win the match, having made significant summer investments to defend their Premier League title [1][2].
As Premier League champions, Liverpool are eyeing their 17th Community Shield victory, which would further cement their status as one of England’s top teams. Their new signings, including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, and others, have settled in quickly [1][2].
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are competing in their first Community Shield after winning the FA Cup. They will be hoping to capitalize on their momentum from the FA Cup win and their relatively good record at Wembley Stadium [1]. Eberechi Eze, a key player for Palace, has remained with the team despite transfer rumors, and his recent form is impressive, scoring seven goals in his last seven matches, including the winner in Palace's FA Cup final triumph [1].
Predicted scorelines vary, but one source suggests a 3-1 victory for Liverpool, while others generally agree that Liverpool will win, potentially by a narrow margin [3][4]. Betting odds strongly favor Liverpool winning in regular time, around 1.59 to 1.67 odds, with Crystal Palace seen as outsiders given odds near 4.75 to 5.00 [1][2].
Liverpool's new signing, Hugo Ekitike, will be vying with Gakpo for a spot in Liverpool's attack. Gakpo, who scored 21 goals for club and country last season, is likely to rotate as a striker and a left forward with Ekitike on Sunday [1].
The last meeting between Crystal Palace and Liverpool ended in a 1-1 draw at Anfield in the final match of last season. However, Gakpo's keen eye for goal could pay off again this weekend [1].
As a responsible gambler, it's essential to set time and monetary limits, only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and not chase your losses. The talkSPORT BET Offer provides up to £50 in free bets for new customers (T&Cs apply) [1].

Nevertheless, the consensus from the preview and betting markets is that Liverpool will likely win the 2025 Community Shield against Crystal Palace, although Palace's recent success and historic moment add competitive intrigue to the match [1][2][3].
