Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 07/12/2024
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League continues its mouthwatering round 15 fixtures as Crystal Palace welcomes Manchester City on Saturday at noon at Selhurst Park Stadium. Can the Citizens’s season kick-start following their impressive midweek win?
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace will come to their matchday 15 on the back of a slender 1-0 over Ipswich Town in their midweek game, with Jean-Philippe Mateta’s goal in the 59th minute enough to secure all three points to end their four-match unbeaten run in the league. The victory at midweek is Oliver Glasner’s team’s second victory of the season, but they have remained unbeaten in their last three games in a row. Currently, the Eagles steer clear of the relegation zone as they sit 17th in the league standings with 12 points, and a further defeat in this match could see them drop into the relegation battle.
Oliver Glasner’s team has been poor when playing on their home soil this season, as they have only recorded just one win in their opening seven Premier League games. Their last home league game ended in a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United, with Daniel Munoz scoring a late equalizer in the match. Palace will feel confident of creating another shocking defeat after they have already beaten Tottenham at home this season.
Manchester City Preview & Form
The defending champions finally hit the ground running following their disappointing seven-match winless streak and a five-match losing streak with an impressive victory in their midweek game. Pep Guardiola will be hoping his side can now build on their commanding 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night, with captain Kevin De Bruyne bringing the spice the team needed. The impressive victory against Palace made it the second time this season that Pep Guardiola’s team kept a clean sheet, and this game against the struggling Eagles could be a great opportunity for them to build momentum. Currently, City sits in fourth place in the league standings with 26 points accumulated and are nine points adrift of the top of the league leader, Liverpool.
Pressure will be mounting on Pep Guardiola, who will be hoping to see his side end their unwanted back-to-back five-match losing streak across all competitions. City’s last away match was at Anfield, where they suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Arne Slot Liverpool. Manchester City’s defense has looked vulnerable in their road games, having conceded at least two goals in each of their last seven games in a row.
