With Palace firmly established in the mid-table, relegation is no longer a concern for the team. Still, they have made a habit of clenching points against tougher opposition for several years. At Selhurst Park, it will be a worn-down Manchester United squad that is far from their glory days and fighting for a Conference League spot with Chelsea and Newcastle.
Crystal Palace Team News
Despite a draw last time out, Crystal Palace are on a good run of form lately with the team having 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 Premier League games. This purple patch started with the shock win at Anfield and was followed by 2 home victories against West Ham and Newcastle. All of those 4 teams sit higher in the Premier League table than Palace themselves. Initial signs are that Oliver Glasner could make something out of this team and so far the wins speak for themselves. At Selhurst Park, Palace have managed to score in all of their 5 fixtures all while managing to keep 2 clean sheets – against Burnley and Newcastle.
Manchester United Team News
The disappointing draw with Burnley at home put Manchester United under the spotlight yet again as the new owners have deemed it enough and will be looking to sell a portion of the squad come summer. Not a surprising turn of events at all, as The Red Devils have had a horrid season – no silverware, eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League and are fighting for a Conference League spot at best. Away from home, United have failed to score any of their 4 Premier League fixtures and all of those games featured over 2.5 goals with Manchester both scoring and conceding, although the latter far far more prevalent.
Head-to-Head-Games
In the head-to-head games, we can see that both sides have 2 wins to their names in the last 5 Premier League fixtures between them. Usually, games at Selhurst Park tend to be with a lower amount of goals as all of the last 4 games here featured under 2.5 goals with only the latest one featuring goals from both teams.

Crystal Palace – Manchester United Betting Prediction
The Oliver Glasner effect is obvious and Crystal Palace has racked up several high-profile wins in recent weeks. Scoring doesn’t seem to be a problem for the team, yet they still concede on a fairly regular basis. But the same can be said for Manchester United as well, if one were to look at their recent Premier League escapades, especially away from home. They will also be pushed to save whatever they can from this horrific season and the 6th spot is all there is left for United. I expect this game to feature over 2.5 goals and both teams to score – it is the norm for away games featuring Manchester United and quite common with home games for Palace.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams To Score: Yes
