Manchester United v Crystal Palace Betting Preview – Premier League 30th September 3.00pm
The Red Devils will probably be licking their lips at this one. After a midweek excursion in Europe, they will look forward to one of their easier home games at Old Trafford this season in the Premier League. The Red Devils are rolling along and came through a stern test at Southampton last weekend. As for Crystal Palace, nothing is still happening for them and with them in the midst of a tough run of fixtures, there is not a lot of light at the end of the tunnel for them.
Manchester United v Crystal Palace Betting Tips
Manchester United have remained unbeaten this season in the Premier League and they have kept up the pressure on leaders Manchester City well. This should be a relatively easy game for them on paper. The Red Devils have won each of their league home games this season with a clean sheet and therefore for Man Utd v Crystal Palace betting, a Manchester United to win to nil at bet365 is a price of 4/6. The Red Devils have five clean sheets in their six league outings this year and considering that Palace have yet to score a single goal, it’s unlikely that they are going to get their breakthrough this weekend at Old Trafford. So this fixture is expected to be pretty comfortable for the Red Devils and in the bet365 correct score market a Manchester United 2-0 result is the shortest priced option at 5/1 and the Red Devils are 11/2 to win 3-0. This will be on the back of their midweek Champions League action, let’s not forget.
Manchester United have the home from going against Crystal Palace as well in the top flight, as they have won each of their last four against the Eagles in the north west. Three of those four wins in that sequence were by a 2-0 scoreline. Romelu Lukaku has been enjoying a profitable season with his new club and he is 4/7 to score anytime in the game, while he is naturally the 2/1 First Goalscorer favourite at bet365. United have won eight of their last nine games against Palace in all competitions (D1) so everything points to Mourinho’s men picking up another win at Old Trafford this season. They should coast and under 2.5 goals at a price of 5/4 could be a decent value to consider. Over the goal line will return a price of 4/7. So will the Red Devils be the next in line to keep the Eagles winless and goalless?
For Crystal Palace, this has been a start beyond their wildest nightmares. It has been dreadful and luck has apparently deserted them a bit as well. Six games played and six defeats along with no goals and they were humiliated last weekend as Manchester City tore them apart at the Etihad, thumping the Eagles 5-0. In total, the Londoners have conceded 13 goals which is more than an average of two per game from them. So two games under Roy Hodgson and still no change of fortunes and after this, they have to face Chelsea, so the tough games keep on coming. A turning point will come, but when? Away from home in the top flight this season, the Eagles have had reasonable defeats at Liverpool and Manchester City, which isn’t that shocking, but their defeat at Burnley was a big confidence downer for them. It could be another long afternoon for them.
