Man United Form
The Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Manchester United takes place this weekend at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace is yet to secure their first win of the season, while Manchester United is riding a wave of momentum following recent victories. As both teams look to secure crucial points in the upcoming encounter, we break down the key aspects of the match, analysing how it’s likely to unfold and providing betting tips for anyone looking to make wagers on this exciting fixture.
Crystal Palace is currently struggling to find their rhythm, with two draws and two losses in their opening fixtures. Despite this, they displayed resilience in their recent 2-2 draw against Leicester City. Key players such as Eberechi Eze will play pivotal roles in unlocking Manchester United’s defence. Palace will need to tighten up their defence and show greater precision in front of goal if they hope to secure any points this weekend.
Manchester United has started to regain form after a shaky opening to their season. Their recent 3-0 win over Southampton signals a return to strength. Marcus Rashford, who managed to score his first goal since March, and Bruno Fernandes will be key in taking advantage of Palace’s defensive lapses.
Historically, United has been dominant over Crystal Palace, having won 41 times, but Palace’s recent successes, including a 4-0 home win last season show they’re capable of pulling off upsets. Our Crystal Palace vs Manchester United betting tips will strongly consider the recent form of both teams.
This match is likely to lean towards a Manchester United victory due to their improved form and attacking depth. However, Crystal Palace has proven they can pose a challenge, especially at home. Palace will rely heavily on Eberechi Eze’s creativity to break down a United defence that, despite improvements, remains vulnerable to quick transitions. Our match prediction has to be an away win, but a competitive game is expected.
Match Prediction: Manchester United To Win @ 29/20 with bet365.
Historically, games between these two have seen goals, and with Palace’s home advantage, coupled with United’s leaky defence, they should net one. However, United’s attacking options, including Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho—are far more superior giving them the edge in this fixture. Therefore, a 2-1 scoreline for the visitors highlight United’s superior form, making a narrow victory a favoured outcome.
Correct Score Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 @ 10/1 with bet365.
With Crystal Palace expected to get on the scoreboard and Manchester United slowly improving, the Over/Under betting tips for this game slightly favours the over 2.5 goals market. Manchester United’s attack is well equipped to capitalise on Palace’s defensive gaps.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/13 with bet365.
For those looking to enhance their odds, check out our bet builder tip that combines Manchester United to win, Manchester United to have the most shots on target, and Alejandro Garnacho to score anytime. United’s recent form suggests they are favourites to dominate this fixture, and with their attacking prowess, particularly through players like Garnacho and Fernandes, they are expected to create numerous chances. Garnacho, who has been a rising star in United’s attack, is well-placed to find the back of the net, making this an enticing bet at 9/1.
