Crystal Palace V Manchester United Predictions & Betting Odds

Crystal Palace v Manchester United Betting Tips – Premier League 5th March 8.00pm

Crystal Palace are starting to sweat badly again now as they head into the next round of league action clear of the relegation zone by goal difference over Swansea only. The Eagles find themselves on a run of five games without a win and this is a tough fixture ahead of them on Monday. Manchester United fought back well to beat Chelsea at Old Trafford last Sunday which put them up into second place. Can they consolidate their position by collecting some more points out at Selhurst Park?

Crystal Palace News and Form

The season could still yet come totally unravelled for Crystal Palace who have managed to get only two points from the last fifteen available to them in the Premier League. So they are back with huge relegation problems. They almost earned a great home point against Spurs last weekend before Harry Kane popped up with a winner for Tottenham two minutes from time at Selhurst Park. Palace have a W4 D5 L5 record at home this season and have collected only the one victory in their last five at Selhurst Park (D2 L2). Their defeat to Spurs ended a good six-match scoring streak of league form that they were on and their growing injury list, which includes Wilfried Zaha has really come at the wrong time. Look for another low scoring game for them at Selhurst Park though and under 2.5 goals at Ladbrokes looks to be the sensible route to take for even money odds* (Betting Odds taken at 00:14 a.m. on February 27th, 2018). Following this, Crystal Palace also have Chelsea and Liverpool to come this month. The Eagles have scored first in just three home games this season and 70% of the goals they have shipped at Selhurst Park have been in the first half of games.

Manchester United News and Form

Manchester United collected an important three points last weekend with a home win over Chelsea. That put them in a good position in the race for a top-four finish. The Red Devils took a long time to get control in the match though, but a win is a win. However, they have lost their last two away games back to back, going down against Spurs and then surprisingly at Newcastle without scoring in either. So their away form isn’t quite there right now and overall the Red Devils are W7 D3 L4 on their travels. The Red Devils have averaged 1.6 goals per away game this season while they have been level at the break in half of their away fixtures so far this season. So the half time draw at Ladbrokes is going to look a half decent proposition at 11/10 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 00:14 a.m. on February 27th, 2018). Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard have been combining well for United in front of goal recently, with Lingard being their top away scorer this season with five. Lukaku though heads up the goalscorer markets for the game. United have earned a clean sheet in 36% of their away games.
