Crystal Palace v Manchester United Betting Tips [21 September 2024]

Crystal Palace will shift attention to the Premier League where they are set to host Manchester United on Saturday. Coming into this match, both teams registered morale-boosting wins in the League Cup. Read on for our prediction.

It has been shaky for Crystal Palace so far but being on a four-game unbeaten run, they’ll be confident of downing United. The Eagles are coming from an away 2-1 win at QPR in the League Cup. That was their second win in four matches.

Those wins sandwich two draws in the league and Palace will hope to step up and win their first league match. The hosts came from behind to draw in their last two league matches and will hope to take the initiative this time.

Two wins in the last two meetings with United will motivate Palace coming to this game.

Manchester United have so far had a mixed season but did well after returning from the international break. Back-to-back defeats at Brighton and at home to Liverpool caused a dip in confidence at the Red Devils.

However, scoring 10 times in the last two matches is sure to lift spirits ahead of this game. Erik Ten Hag’s team is coming from a 7-0 win at home to Barnsley in the League Cup. Earlier, they thumped Southampton 3-0 to rise from two straight losses.

This will be a tougher game than their last two but mentally, United will be in better shape than before. Last season they conceded five times against Palace and revenge will be up on their agenda heading to Selhurst Park.

This match has produced unexpected results in the teams’ recent meetings. While Crystal Palace entered the last two matches against United as underdogs, they won with clean sheets. 

Manchester United won the third also with a clean sheet and there’s a trend of at least one side failing to score. This has also been seen in the teams’ separate matches in recent times. United kept clean sheets in their last two matches after earlier failing to score. 

On the goals market, our prediction for Crystal Palace v Manchester United is for at least one team not to score.
