Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Match Preview And Prediction
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City: Saturday afternoon at Selhurst Park will see the start of Matchday No. 32 between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. After losing to title rivals Liverpool and Arsenal in straight league draws, the Citizens cannot afford a slip-up. Will this excursion to the capital leave them unscathed?
In the last ten away games across all competitions, Manchester City has won nine and drawn one.
Crystal Palace enters this game coming off of a lackluster performance in a 0-1 loss to Bournemouth on Tuesday.
In their last three league games, Palace failed to score three goals or more.
The midweek match did not feature Crystal Palace’s best play. They lost to Bournemouth 0–1. Overall, Oliver Glasner’s team gave a pretty underwhelming effort given the occasion. Except for Eberechi Eze’s goal that was disallowed in the first half, Bournemouth’s flimsy defense held the Eagles scoreless on Tuesday night.
Oliver Glasner’s team now faces one of the league’s top teams. let that the Citizens have only let up 28 goals in their first 29 games of the season, it is difficult to imagine them increasing their offensive output.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City: Betting Analysis
The rematch, which took place at Selhurst Park in December of last year, ended in a 2-2 draw between Crystal Palace and Manchester City. In their last five meetings with the Eagles, Manchester City has only prevailed twice. In two of the previous five meetings between the two teams, there were goals.
Four straight league games have seen Crystal Palace go winless. Along the road, they have only scored two goals in their last three games. Three or more goals were not scored in any of these three games. During a difficult three-game stretch in March, Manchester City faced tough opponents like Liverpool, Newcastle, and Arsenal and let up just one goal.
Given that Tuesday night’s matchup with Real Madrid is the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, the citizens will want to get this done as quickly as possible. Thus, with odds of 2.05.05, we will support the visitors to lead at halftime and win the game in the end.
Even though Pep Guardiola has some of the top scorers in his squad, Manchester City hasn’t exactly been playing at its best offensive pace lately. They entered their midweek match against Aston Villa fresh off three straight low-scoring matches in various tournaments.
