Crystal Palace Manchester United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match shouldn’t be one of the most balanced of this round of the English League, as it’s between two teams that have been performing quite distinct performances to date. While Manchester United remain in the vice-lead, Crystal Palace appears at the bottom of the league table with the same number of points as the first team in the relegation zone. The home team shows a defensive strength in the air play and on the counterattack, but leaves much to be desired in the coverage of the flanks and in the combat to more skillful players, while their attack has been inaccurate when finishing. Manchester United often attack through the flanks, and stands out in the individual plays, the kicks from outside the area and the free throws, showing a lot of efficiency when finishing. Thus, by having a great offensive power and playing against a weak defense, it’s a good option to bet on the Manchester United’s victory.

Preview
Crystal Palace and Manchester United meet at Selhurst Park, in a match for the 29th round of the Premier League. Manchester United got a home win by (4‑0), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 30‑09‑2017. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 14‑12‑2016, in a match for the Premier League, Manchester United won by (1‑2). The goals of the match were scored by J. McArthur (66' ), for Crystal Palace, and by P. Pogba (45' ) and Z. Ibrahimović (88' ), for Manchester United. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Crystal Palace

The home team is currently in the 17th position of the league, with 27 points won, after 6 wins, 9 draws and 13 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Everton, by (3‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Tottenham Hotspur, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 18 conceded. For the league, Crystal Palace won 14 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑1 (5 out of 14 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 6 of the last 28 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 6 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. In 28 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 19 times and have only turned the score around in 3.

Crystal Palace plays again at home for the English Championship knowing that urgently needs a positive result to try to start a recovery and soften the bad situation that they’re going through in the competition, as they haven’t won for five matches, coming after two consecutive defeats. The last of them occurred against Tottenham in a match where they missed many passes, had only 24% of ball possession and finished only five times, suffering another defeat in front of their fans. As we could see in this match, the team has been characterized by a very inefficient offensive sector, which is now among the five worst in the competition, although they don’t have a bad average of finishing. As home team, the team won little more than 40% of the points they played, and in this condition, they couldn’t take the zero of the scoreboard on five occasions. The 4-3-3 should be the scheme used in this match, highlighting Tomkins in the defense.

Confirmed Lineup: Wayne Hennessey, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Patrick van Aanholt, Martin Kelly, James Tomkins, Jeffrey Schlupp, James McArthur, Andros Townsend, Luka Milivojević, Christian Benteke, Alexander Sørloth.
Coach: O. Glasner.

Analysis Man Utd

The away team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 59 points won, after 18 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Newcastle United, by (1‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Chelsea, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 8 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Manchester United has a record of 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 16 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 14 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 28 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Manchester United won their last three matches as home team in the Premier League, but in return they lost their last two away matches, not having scored any goals in that period. In the last round, the team played a balanced match against Chelsea, and although they left behind on the scoreboard, they got the turnaround on the scoreboard and another three points in front of their fans. Once again, it was possible to realize the importance that the defensive system has been having in the beautiful campaign of the team, so much that is the less conceded of the competition, next to the leader Manchester City. Playing away, the team obtained more than half of the points disputed, and in that condition, they didn’t conceded goal in five occasions. For this match, the coach must organize the team in the 4-3-3, with Sánchez in the offensive sector.

Confirmed Lineup: David De Gea, Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelöf, Nemanja Matić, Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sánchez.
Coach: E. ten Hag.
