Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City Preview and Betting Odds

Accustomed to bothering Manchester City in the last few years, Crystal Palace would need some of that magic as they are compromised at the bottom of the table.

The Eagles finally obtained their second win of the season against relegation rivals Ipswich Town with a 1-0.

The Citizens scared some demons with a convincing 3-0 win against Nottingham Forest at the Etihad.

Why bet on Crystal Palace?

We have to give some props to the home team, as Crystal Palace have suffered a single defeat across their last six matches for the Premier League and have picked up nine points to boost their survival hopes. They got some interesting results in the meantime, with a 1-0 win over Tottenham and draws against Newcastle and Aston Villa.

The Eagles proved their worth in the midweek clash, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to escape further from the danger zone. They have an excellent defense for a team near the bottom with 18 goals against, but their 12 goals in favor are the second-worst in the league just behind Southampton.

Midfielder Daichi Kamada is back from suspension, while all Adam Wharton, Chadi Riad, and Matheus Franca are out of contention with injuries for the home team.

Why bet on Manchester City?

It has been a troubling season for Man City, as the team descended into crisis after going seven games without a win across all competitions, losing six of those matches and conceding 19 goals in the process.

The Citizens finally broke their losing streak, as they desperately needed a win against Nottingham Forest and they managed to get one, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Still, they are too error-prone at the back without Rodri, and the only reason they kept the clean sheet was because Stephan Ortega had a remarkable game. The German goalkeeper seems to be the preferred option now that City has been conceding more chances, leaving Ederson exposed many times.

Manuel Akanji is a major doubt, while Nathan Ake has joined the likes of Mateo Kovacic, Rodri, and John Stones in the recovery room.

Final Betting Analysis: Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City

The last 27 matches show a clear dominance for the Citizens, who have twenty wins, compared to three for Palace and four draws. Their last match was in Selhurst Park as well, with the visitors winning by 2-4.

This will be a tight and tense match where City will suffer a lot to open a stubborn defense. The Eagles don’t have many tools to make damage up-front but don’t discard a game-changing mistake entering the equation. It would not be the first time in recent memory, as last season at the Eithad stadium, Phil Foden committed a silly penalty that propelled Palace to a draw after being 2-0 down.

We’ll go for a 0-1 win for the visitors either way.

Go for a win for Manchester City at 1.644. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $64.4 for a total payout of $164.4.
