Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United Betting Preview
You have to take a close look at both teams when making a Crystal Palace vs Manchester United prediction. Taking a quick look at the EPL table will give you a good start, but you need to see how each team has been performing this season.
Crystal Palace
The Crystal Palace schedule has not been kind to them of late as they have been dealing with a ton of great soccer teams over the last few weeks. Crystal Palace has dropped four of their last five games, and they are facing another team that is better than them.
Crystal Palace has a -9 goal differential so far in EPL action and they have only scored 17 total goals. Wilfried Zaha leads the team with six goals, but he is going to need some of his teammates to step up in this one.
Manchester United
Manchester United has a +5 goal differential and they are starting to make a run up the EPL table. This team has scored 26 goals, which is great, but they have to find a way to limit the number of goals for their opponents.
Manchester United is going to try and speed up the tempo in this game as they have more talent to use. They should be able to find some openings in the Crystal Palace defense and they will be able to cash in.
Crystal Palace vs. Manchester United Betting Preview
There are a couple of different ways that you can make a bet on this game and other EPL picks. You have to start out by picking the team that you think will win. Even though Crystal Palace is going to enjoy home-field advantage in this game, they just don’t have the talent to keep up.
Manchester United needs to keep stacking wins to rise to the top of the EPL table, and this game will give them a great chance to get this done. Crystal Palace just doesn’t have enough offense to pull off this type of win and it’s going to be a win for Manchester United (-125).
You should also make an over/under pick for this matchup and that is where things can get a bit tricky. This bet will come down to whether or not you think that Crystal Palace can get a goal as Manchester United will score at least twice.
Playing at home will give Crystal Palace a small boost and the best over/under pick to make is to take the over 2.5 total goals.
