Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Manchester United Form

Manchester United took six points from their last three matches, but started off by losing 4-3 against Bayern Munich. They responded by beating Burnley 0-1, and followed that up by winning 3-0 against Crystal Palace. Manchester United showed little mercy in their past six matches at Old Trafford, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 13 times, while letting in seven themselves.

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace were only able to take one point from their past three games. They came up short in a 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa before drawing 0-0 with Fulham. They were defeated once again, when Manchester United ran out 3-0 winners. Crystal Palace managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring nine time and letting in five.

It seems both Crystal Palace and Manchester United have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Saturday, and we are rooting for goals.

Manchester United are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording three wins and three defeats in the Premier League. Crystal Palace enjoy a record of two wins, two draws and two defeats in the Premier League.
