Manchester City – Crystal Palace : Preview & Prediction
Manchester City lost the Community Shield earlier this year and were just knocked out in the League Cup round of 16 by West Ham in the round of 16 on Wednesday night. A failed start to the season in the Cup, which however will allow Man City to refocus on the Premier League and the Champions League. Guardiola’s men remained on three consecutive wins before this failure in the cup, and must resume their march forward against a team that hardly wins this year.
Indeed, the Crystal Palace de Vieira have had a rather complicated start to the season, and have only won one game this season. The club remain on four consecutive draws in the league, but are only 5 points ahead of the red zone. Enough for now, but we’ll have to win a few games to ensure a quieter end of the season. With a quality workforce, there is no doubt that the Eagles have the capacity to maintain themselves.
Manchester City are third in the Premier League.
City has a record of 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses this year.
The “over 1.5” prediction has been made in 5 of the Sky Blues’ last 6 games this season.
nCrystal Palace is 15th in the Premier League.
Palace has a record of 1 win, 6 draws and 3 losses this year.
The “over 1.5” prediction has been made in the Eagles’ last 7 games.
Crystal Palace doesn’t lose that much, but hardly wins either. Against City, the Eagles are going to have a very difficult game to play, and it would be a feat to come back from this trip with at least one draw. City cannot afford to lose points at home against a poorly classified, and must keep up with the hellish pace offered by Chelsea and Liverpool. Manchester City should take the 3 points with the manner. City wins and over 1.5! For a better odds, the “Victory of City and more than 2.5” is also to be attempted.
