Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction

Crystal Palace Form

In the previous three games, Crystal Palace drew 1-1 with Brentford, lost 0-0 against Liverpool and 1-0 against Aston Villa. In their last six Premier League home matches, Crystal Palace didn't claim a single win. In stead, they've drawn four and lost two, while scoring two and conceding nine goals.

Manchester City Form

Manchester City look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Bournemouth, who were defeated by 1-4. Then, Bristol City got outclassed in a 0-3 win, before beating Newcastle by 2-0. Manchester City won half their previous six away matches in the Premier League, as well as seeing one draw and suffering two defeats. They scored ten goals whilst conceding six.

Manchester City could find it tough to break down the defensive barriers put up by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday. The home side doesn't score much themselves, though, and we aim for the under 2.5 goals betting market.

Crystal Palace so far pulled off a record of six wins, nine draws and ten defeats in the Premier League this season. Manchester City so far pulled off 18 wins, four draws and four defeats in the Premier League.
