Crystal Palace host Tottenham at Selhurst Park on Sunday, December 28, as another London derby takes centre stage during the festive English Premier League schedule.
Over 1.5 goals – A winning bet in nine of 10 Palace matches across all competitions
Over 8.5 corners – Palace games average nine corners, Tottenham’s average 11
Jean-Philippe Mateta to score anytime – Sure to end his dry spell sooner rather than later
Palace remain firmly in the mix for a Champions League place, while Tottenham arrive under pressure following a difficult run of results and growing inconsistency.
Crystal Palace have continued to exceed expectations this season, building on last year’s FA Cup success with another strong campaign under Oliver Glasner. Despite back-to-back heavy defeats against Manchester City and Leeds, the mood around Selhurst Park remains positive.
At home, Palace have generally looked composed and well-organised, playing with confidence in possession and aggression in wide areas. Jean-Philippe Mateta continues to lead the line effectively, while support from midfield has kept Palace competitive even during a demanding schedule.
Tottenham, by contrast, arrive with uncertainty hanging over them. Thomas Frank’s side have struggled to find consistency and sit just below mid-table, with defensive errors repeatedly undermining their performances.
Recent defeats to Nottingham Forest and Liverpool highlighted those issues, and while Spurs still carry attacking quality, control and cohesion have often been lacking.
