Manchester City v Crystal Palace Betting Preview – Premier League 23rd September 3.00pm
Will we see yet another stunning performance from Manchester City, who have been running riot lately in front of goal? They are coming together nicely and their form is rising and that could spell yet more trouble for crystal palace. The Eagles are still without a win on the board or a single goal this season in the top flight, and this looks like a bit of a hopeless challenge that they are going to be taking on in this one. City could be rampant again at the Etihad against them.
Manchester City v Crystal Palace Betting Tips
The first thing that is going to come to mind for punters really is just how big of a winning margin will Manchester City put up in this one? How much of a rout is coming towards Palace? Manchester City are on fire at the moment with sixteen goals this season in their five league games and they have some great scoring form at home against Palace as well. City have scored at least three goals in each of their last four home games against Crystal Palace for a total of seventeen goals. So they will be expected to run up a pretty decent score in this one on Saturday. There is a price of 5/6 on the game going over 3.5 goals but a Man City -2 handicap at bet365 for even money looks stacks of value going into this one. This is City’s third home game in the league this season and they have four points with six goals so far at the Etihad. In the First Goalscorer Market, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus are joint 13/5 favourites. The Citizens went up against Palace three times last season and scored ten goals in three wins against them. City have conceded in just two of their last six games against Crystal Palace.
What a mess Crystal Palace are in and there doesn’t appear to be any immediate relief coming for them either. That is because after facing Manchester City, they will head to Old Trafford to face Manchester United and then they host Chelsea. That’s the last thing that they need. Three of their five defeats this season have been by a 1-0 scoreline but you can see a much bigger scoreline being churned out. In the bet365 correct score market, the shortest priced options are Manchester City 2-0 or a Manchester City 3-0 just to put things into context. You would probably swing with the bigger scoreline if you are putting money down. Will the Eagles get on the board? Something has to go their way at some point and Christian Benteke is their shortest priced option in the anytime goalscorer market at a price of 7/2. But they face a Manchester City side who have only conceded two goals this season and the Eagles have scored just one goal in their last four trips to the Etihad in all competitions. Both teams not to score at bet365 returns a price of 4/6.

Manchester City v Crystal Palace Predictions
Man City to win: The Citizens have scored plenty of goals in recent home fixtures against Palace that suggests that they can comfortably cover a -2 handicap. This could be another very tough afternoon for the London side as they head to the Etihad.
