Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace: preview and betting tips

Saturday’s Premier League schedule will feature, among other things, a small London derby. Crystal Palace will play at Tottenham’s ground, and especially the home team still has something to play for. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Tottenham are not doing well at all even after the end of coach Antonio Conte. They have won a single point from the last four rounds, dropped out of the Champions League and have only a one-point lead over eighth-placed Aston Villa from seventh place.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have been on a roll, winning four of their six games since the return of experienced coach Roy Hodgson, and are out of the relegation race. It has jumped to 11th place, with a ten-point lead on the relegation zone already.

Tottenham’s key figures

Spurs are led by England captain Harry Kane, if it wasn’t for his 27 goals and five assists, they wouldn’t be playing for any cups at the moment. Heung Min Son is also playing well, although he faces criticism, his record of 14+5 is not downright bad.

Palace’s key figures

The Eagles have relied on the form of Eberechi Eze, the skilful English dribbler has netted eight goals and assisted three times. The master of assists and the future of the French national team, Michael Olise, has made nine assists in addition to his two shots.

What to expect and what to bet on?

Although Tottenham are not winning, they rely on a solid defence at home. In the last six games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he has scored at least twice each time. In doing so, he has played Manchester United or Chelsea.

That doesn’t suit Palace, who have kept a clean sheet in only one of their last nine games, despite Hodgson’s game being based on defensive play for a long time. Away from their stadium, the Eagles have won just two of their last nine games.

Given Spurs’ improved performances after calling former player Ryan Mason to the bench, as well as Crystal Palace’s away woes, I think Spurs can win at home.
