Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Tottenham vs Crystal Palace EPL Prediction

Crystal Palace have won just 13 of their 64 matches against Spurs in all competitions, while they’ve only been victorious in two of their previous 16 encounters since February 2016. They haven’t recorded an away win at Tottenham in the Premier League since November 24th, 1997, while Spurs are on a run of four consecutive victories in this fixture.

Postecoglou’s Spurs will certainly go for the jugular at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the Australian manager having maintained his high-octane, high-risk approach since the beginning of the campaign. To this end, Spurs have won the most tackles in the attacking third in this season’s EPL (82) but have also made the most mistakes leading to an opponent’s attempt on goal (16).

Spurs have also averaged 59.8% possession per 90 minutes in 2023/24, compared to just 42.3% for Palace. However, Glasner’s teams are also renowned for their possession-oriented approach, while his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation will create central overloads and help to counter Tottenham’s dominance of the ball.

This game will be played largely in the centre of the pitch, but Spurs ultimately boast superior individual quality in midfield and genuine firepower in the form of Son Heung-min and Richarlison. The influential Destiny Udogie may also return from injury against Palace, so I’m backing the home side to edge a close and entertaining game in North London.

1️⃣ Tottenham Update

Spurs sit fourth in the EPL form table over the course of the last 10 matches, taking 20 points from the 30 available to them during this period. They’ve only lost twice since December 7th, although they were defeated 2-1 by Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last time out. This match highlighted Spurs’ vulnerability in defensive transitions, with Portuguese winger Pedro Neto able to wreak havoc on the counterattack and ultimately assist the winner for João Gomes. This will give Palace reason for optimism, although they must contend with the deadly Heung-min Son, who has scored eight goals and assisted twice in this fixture during his career.

Destiny Udogie should have recovered from a knee injury in time for the visit of Palace, with Spurs having missed his power and endeavour in the defeat against Wolves. They also missed the marauding Pedro Porro, although he’s expected to be sidelined for a little longer with a muscle injury. Manor Solomon (knee injury) and Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) are longer-term absentees, while reserve keeper Fraser Forster remains sidelined with an ankle complaint.

2️⃣ Crystal Palace Update

Palace were impressive during their 3-0 win over Burnley during Glasner’s first match in charge, controlling possession throughout and being proactive in the final third. This means that the side has now taken 12 points from the previous 30 available to them, while their much-needed victory over the Clarets lifted them into 13th and eight points clear of the relegation zone. What’s more, Eberechi Eze is expected to be fit to face Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the 25-year-old having recorded six goal contributions and 4.88 goal-creating actions per 90 in his 16 EPL appearances so far in 2023/24.

The potential return of Eze from a thigh injury is great news for Palace, while the combative Will Hughes (ankle) is also expected to be fit in time for the trip to North London. However, the match against Spurs may come a little too soon for Marc Guehi (knee injury), while Michael Olise (hamstring) and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (thigh) have also been ruled out. In terms of long-term absentees, Rob Holding is out until May with a foot injury while Cheick Doucoure won’t play again in 2023/24 as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon.
