Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting tips
On Sunday, at 14:15, Crystal Palace and Tottenham face in a London derby in which Jose Mourinho’s team starts with the first chance. However, “The Special One” does not have an easy mission against Roy Hodgson’s band. Ferguson, Hennessey, Kelly and Wickham cannot play as hosts, while Tottenham come to the match without Lamela and Aurier.
However, the two bands have a good tone after the last results. Palace comes after a 5-1 away win with the WBA, an exceptional score, made by a mature, technical and strong team. The “Eagles” came after frustrating failures with Burnley (0-1) and Newcastle (0-2), but they rehabilitated with a very good match. Otherwise, Tottenham is in great shape and has confirmed this in the European Cups, where it comes after a victory with Antwerp (2-0). In the league, Spurs boasted the success of the derby with Arsenal, in which Harry Kane was, once again, a magistrate. Jose Mourinho has a very good team at his disposal! This season, the Portuguese also has reserves according to the holders, so names like Moura or Bale do not have a guaranteed position. It is a favorable competition for the Tottenham players, who took the London team in the first place.
Tottenham is on the 1st place with 24 points (goal difference 23-9) and the best defense in the championship. Only one match was lost by Spurs, who are tied on points with Liverpool. Crystal Palace is on the 11th place (goal difference 17-16), with 16 points, quite close to the relegation zone, because the red-blues lost three of the last five stages. However, under C. Palace there are names like Leeds, Arsenal or Newcastle, who have claims for better rankings! So any point is important at this time of the season. At relegation, Sheffield United (1 point), WBA and Burnley (6 points) are struggling to reach the Championship next year.
Returning to our match, it is quite clear that Tottenham will dominate the hostilities. We know that Palace has lost the last 7 matches in which it had possession over 50%, so the initiative could be taken by the guests, on Selhurst Park. By comparison, Spurs had 31% possession in the victory with Arsenal, but Mourinho’s “motto” is already well known: “Let them hold the ball, we go home with the points!”. What will come out here? Probably a lively match, with goals and corners, on which we bet brave. Kane will be Tottenham’s most dangerous man, while Townsend and Zaha will be Roy Hodgson’s goalkeepers.
Crystal Palace: Watchtower; Clyne, Kouyate, Cahill, Van Aanholt; Schlupp, Milivojevic, McArthur, Eze; Zaha, Benteke
Coach: Roy Hodgson
Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Sissoko, Hojbjerg Bergwijn, Ndombele, Son; Kane
Coach: Jose Mourinho
