Man City vs Crystal Palace Tips

Tip 1

Palace have netted two goals in three of their last five against Man City, two of which Oliver Glasner has been responsible for overseeing in December’s 2-2 draw after a 2-2 draw at this venue the prior December.

11/15 of Premier League visitors to the Etihad this campaign have breached the home side’s goal, while Arsenal, Fulham, Tottenham, Man United, Liverpool and Brighton have all scored at least twice.

The Eagles have been formidable on the road in the 2024/25 season, losing only three away league matches, going 10 unbeaten currently and scoring in nine of those, including each of the last five, which involved visits to Craven Cottage and the Vitality Stadium.

A forward three of Mateta, Eze and Sarr have also mustered 35 goal contributions across the league campaign, making them more than capable of hitting this mark with their side on the ascendency.

Tip 2

Palace’s top goalscorer netted his 16th goal of the season last weekend in the 2-1 win over Brighton.

That means he now has five in his last six in the top tier and nine in his last 13 appearances across all competitions.

The Frenchman also has two in his last three against Pep Guardiola’s side, having bagged home and away last term.

Sarr and Eze have contributed 11 league assists between them and should provide the striker with ample service through deadly attacks on the break in Manchester.
