Why Bet on Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have struggled for form recently, winning just one of their last five Premier League games.
They began this poor run with a 1-3 home loss to Tottenham, followed by a 1-1 draw against Luton Town. Oliver Glasner’s side drew again against Nottingham the following matchday, also with a 1-1 away scoreline, while in their most recent game, they lost to Bournemouth 0-1. Overall, Crystal Palace have taken only 5 points from the last 15 available.
As a result, they currently sit 14th in the table, with a record of seven wins, nine draws, and 14 defeats, and are eight points above Luton in the relegation zone. They indeed have some peace of mind at this stage of the season, but they need to get back to winning ways to escape relegation danger once and for all.
Why Bet on Manchester CityÂ
Meanwhile, Manchester City have been in scintillating form heading into this weekend’s clash. Pep Guardiola’s side was on a run of three wins and two draws in their last five Premier League games, scoring only six goals. However, today, they recovered with a magnificent 4-1 victory over Aston Villa with a Phil Foden hat-trick.
Before that, their last win was a 3-1 victory at home against Manchester United 3 rounds ago. After that, City drew 1-1 against Liverpool and 0-0 against Arsenal to stay in third place, three points behind Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola’s team needs to win or win the rest of the games from now on, as that will be the only way they can stay in the fight to retain their championship trophy. Right now, City has an excellent record of 20 wins, seven draws, and three defeats, with extraordinary figures of 67 goals scored and 29 conceded.
Final Betting Analysis: Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City
Manchester City and Crystal Palace have met multiple times in Premier League history since the Eagles were promoted in 2013. Now, in the last 20 matches, City has dominated the head-to-head record, winning 13 times compared to just 3 Crystal Palace victories.
However, Crystal Palace has proven to be a buggy team for Manchester City recently. In the 2021/22 edition, they managed a 2-0 win at the Etihad, a huge upset against the defending champions.
Earlier this season, the two teams played out a thrilling 2-2 draw, also at the Etihad Stadium. Palace’s stubborn defense frustrated City’s star-studded attack. That said, there is no doubt that this match could be very appealing for bettors, as a good read can give a remarkable gain.
At Gambyl Exchange, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Manchester City at 1.336, while Crystal Palace starts at 8.80.
Either way, our prediction for this match is a resounding victory for Manchester City with a score of 3-0.
