Manchester City - Crystal Palace betting tips and odds

With the 1.17 odds on a home win, there’s little doubt that Manchester City will win the match on Saturday. Crystal Palace winning would be one of the biggest upsets of the season, but we wouldn’t hold our breaths for that to happen.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Crystal Palace will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Last round saw The Citizens take an early lead against Brighton & Hove Albion and maintain the momentum up until that last whistle. The match-up was highly favourable, of course, but the squad might be able to keep that same momentum going against The Eagles.

Crystal Palace haven’t exactly been playing top of their game lately. Last round’s home draw 1:1 against Newcastle United was far from a disaster, but most of us – including the world’s best online bookmakers – expected a lot more considering they played at home.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

With 4 consecutive draws, a bit of a trend seems to be emerging for The Eagles. Thankfully, they still have a chance to offer a more decisive performance this time around.

If they stay in their current table spot, the home team will be looking at a Champions League qualification. There’s plenty more action left in the season, though, and the leading spot looks well within grasp considering the favourable matchup they’re going into.

Crystal Palace started the season off on the wrong foot, but there’s plenty of time to avert disaster. They’ve managed to avoid dipping into the relegation zone so far, but there are only 5 points separating them at this point. Even more worryingly, most bookies are expecting them to lose this showdown with Away Win betting odds sitting around 20.00.

After the clashes we saw last season, there’s no doubt as to why the hosts are the favourites in this showdown. They clashed with Crystal Palace several times and recorded multiple victories. More interestingly, these victories were quite decisive and each was won a comfortable goal difference.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1.80, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
