Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 02/03/2024, 01:42  by Ian John in Premier League Predictions

Tottenham face Crystal Palace in a 3pm kick off on Saturday with both teams coming into the game in somewhat mixed form of late. Spurs lie 5th in the table with 47 points from their 25 games so far. They have a game in hand over Aston Villa in 4th but they are five points adrift of the Villains, while Manchester United are just 3 points behind but having played a game more. Ange Postecoglou's team have won two of their last five, drawing two and losing the other, a 2-1 defeat at home to Wolves.Having not played last week due to their game with Chelsea being postponed, the home side have had almost two weeks to prepare for this game and they have an outstanding record against Palace in recent times. They'll have to be wary however as Spurs have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten games in all competitions, and that came in the FA Cup against Burnley. 

Oliver Glassner made a good start as Crystal Palace manager, leading his team to a key 3-0 win over Burnley. That made it two games in a row without defeat for Palace after they earned a 1-1 draw at Everton. Those results mean Crystal Palace now lie 13th in the table on 28 points from their 26 games, and they are eight points clear of Luton Town who lie in the final relegation spot - 18th in the table. The Eagles have scored in all their last five games and since a 4-0 loss at Newcastle back in October, they have scored in all but one of their Premier League away games (a 5-0 defeat at Arsenal in January). They have not won any of their last five away games despite finding the net in games which suggests issues with their defensive tactics.
