Tottenham and Crystal Palace: Previous Games
After a losing streak of four games and a tie in the other, Tottenham is looking to return to the top four. But since then, they’ve won four of their last five games, with their sole loss coming at the hands of Brighton (4-2).
Despite their inconsistency since the end of 2023, Tottenham has managed to be undefeated in their last five games. At Goodison Park, Crystal Palace will play their first official away game under Oliver Glasner’s tenure, and the score will be 1-1. After a successful campaign to ensure safety last season, Roy Hodgson’s Eagles have battled for form under the tutelage of Paddy McCarthy and Ray Lewington.
Over half of the Eagles’ Premier League matches have ended in defeat, and their goal differential is worse than -16. With a new manager in charge, Palace will want to continue the success of the recent period at Selhurst Park; a strong showing here wouldn’t hurt. Despite having more formidable opponents, this rivalry in the capital features teams from opposite ends of the league.
Probable Tottenham Lineup
Vicario; Romero, Porro, van de Ven, Udogie; Højbjerg, Maddison, Kulusevski; Sarr, Son, Richarlison
Probable Crystal Palace Lineup
Johnstone; Ward, Andersen, Guéhi, Mitchell; Hughes, Lerma, Doucouré; Ayew, Édouard, Mateta
Betting tips: Tottenham x Crystal Palace
Check out our predictions of the day for Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace
Prediction 1: Tottenham x Crystal Palace / Tottenham to win
Based on their recent form and head-to-head record in the game, Tottenham Hotspur is considered the favorite on paper. Although the team unexpectedly lost 2-1 at home to Wolves, Ange Postecoglu’s squad will have had a break of two weeks before the start of the match, as their match against Chelsea was rescheduled due to the latter’s engagement in the Carabao Cup finals on Sunday. They should get a massive lift from this and win their sixth consecutive match against Palace.
Prediction 2: Tottenham x Crystal Palace / Both teams to score
Even though Tottenham are heavy favorites, the game will still be close. Especially at home, Postecoglou’s defense has been a central weak spot this year.
So far this season, the Lilywhites have only kept two clean sheets in thirteen league games played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Expect goals since they have scored in every one of their thirteen encounters, but they have also let in goals in eleven of those matchups.
Prediction 3: Tottenham x Crystal Palace / HT/FT – Tottenham/Tottenham
Despite opening Glasner’s tenure with a straightforward 3-0 thrashing of Burnley last week, Crystal Palace will undoubtedly encounter a more challenging opponent tonight.
Spurs boast a tremendous record, but they were defeated 2-1 when they welcomed Tottenham to Selhurst Park for their reverse Premier League matchup on October 27. The top four teams in the race have won their last four matches by a combined score of 10-1, so we anticipate them to get a huge lift this weekend.
