Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace Betting Preview
Manchester United
Man United are having a season to remember under Ten Hag, who arrived at the Theatre of Dreams last summer. He started with back-to-back defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, but the Red Devils have been in fine form ever since.
Since a surprise 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa at Villa Park in November, United have gone on to win 12 of their following 14 league and cup matches. Man United have bounced back with three cup wins after losing to Premier League leaders Arsenal in the league last month.
The Manchester giants are now looking to get back to winning ways in the league after taking just one point from the last six on offer. Before the 3-2 reverse at the Emirates Stadium, Ten Hag’s troops were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, with Palace’s leveler coming in injury time. They will be out for revenge in this one.
Man United have put themselves in a good position to claim one of the four UEFA Champions League places. They sit fourth at present with 39 points to their name after 12 wins, three draws and five defeats.
They are also through to the final of the 2022-23 EFL Cup and are in the knockout stage of the UEFA Europa League. It is shaping up to be a memorable first season for Ten Hag at Old Trafford.
Crystal Palace
As for Crystal Palace, they are in 12th spot in the current Premier League standings on 24 points. Vieira’s boys have had a mixed bag of results this season, winning six, drawing six and losing eight. They have scored 18 and conceded 27 along the way.
Palace still have work to do to make sure of Premier League survival. They are currently seven points above 18th place, but things are very tight in the bottom half of the table, with only nine points separating 12th to 20th.
The Londoners have struggled to find wins of late. They have won just one of their last seven in the Premier League, losing four of those. Since beating Bournemouth away from home on New Year’s Eve, Palace have taken just two points from a possible 12. However, one of those points did come against Man United last month.
The Eagles have won two of their last four away matches in the league, winning at the London Stadium and the Vitality Stadium. However, this will be one of their toughest challenges of the season.
Both Premier League teams will be looking for the right result on Saturday. United will want all three points on home soil, while Palace would no doubt take a draw if offered. See below for the latest Crystal Palace picks and Man U vs Crystal Palace odds.
