Crystal Palace vs Southampton Tickets

When Crystal Palace vs Southampton takes place at Selhurst Park each season, there is a general buzz and excitement around the two clubs as it sees two evenly matched sides square up against each other as they look to achieve the same aims; solidifying themselves as a mid-table Premier League side even further.

Crystal Palace, affectionately known as the Eagles, are a team from South London who have already managed to establish themselves as a main player in the Premier League and have continued to improve over the years. Things were not always rosy for the capital outfit, but after several years since having to fight to play in the top division once again, they have managed to successfully remain, despite flirting with relegation at various points throughout each campaign.

The Saints are hardly a side that can be considered successful either in terms of silverware, either, although they are a football club that many would now associate with playing their football in the Premier League on a regular basis. Although the club has spent several years out of the division in the past like their counterparts, they have managed to return to their best level and continue to strive for improvement in each position as the seasons pass, with managers like Ralph Hasenhuttl having shaped them into a different mould than other men in charge have previously managed to achieve.

Crystal Palace play their home games at Selhurst Park, which is a stadium that has the capacity to hold 25,486 fans, with the hosts having some of the most passionate in the English game. These supporters help to make the atmosphere incredibly hostile and intense for visiting teams, which then helps the Eagles fly and overcome some of the difficult challenges they face in the Premier League whilst also trying to give them an edge over similar opponents such as Southampton.

Previous Crystal Palace versus Southampton fixtures have produced a number of moments that have favoured the visitors, with many of the recent encounters going the way of the Saints. Such scores to have been recorded have included 0-1 and 0-2, although the Eagles have managed to record a 3-0 victory in front of their own supporters in the past as well.

Encounters between the two sides have featured a number of stars at Selhurst Park in the past, with the likes of Wilfried Zaha, Vicente Guaitia, Danny Ings and Nathan Redmond all having played roles in previous matches. With the stature of the two clubs and the fact that they remain in the Premier League, fans can always expect to see some big-name stars on the pitch as well.

Therefore, Crystal Palace vs Southampton at Selhurst Park is a game that certainly whets the appetite for fans as it builds to be a hugely entertaining affair, despite the visitors appearing to take all three points more often than not recently.
