Premier League: Crystal Palace vs Manchester United - Betting Tips, Odds & Prediction

Manchester United will hope to avoid another lengthy slump with a much-needed away win when they go to Selhurst Park on Monday to face Crystal Palace. 

Ruben Amorim’s men suffered a 1-0 defeat at home against Everton. After an unbeaten run of five matches lifted the mood at United, tension has started to creep back into the team. They have collected only two points from their last three matches, and Crystal Palace away is hardly the perfect setting for a turnaround.

We have explored the best betting sites in NZ to find the sharpest deals for this match. Here are our Crystal Palace vs Manchester United betting tips, including an enticing $11 punt on the match result.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace seem back in control after a four match winless run in October. They have now gone unbeaten in five matches, with four wins and a draw. Goals from Daniel Munoz and Yeremi Pino got them a win at Molineux. Now, they will look to build on that at home with a statement win against Manchester United. 

Football sports betting sites have labelled Palace the favourites against the Red Devils on Monday. Palace are yet to taste defeat on home soil this season, but they have only won two home matches so far. Oliver Glasner will hope to improve that record against a Manchester United side that won only once on the road this season.

Team News: Cheick Doucoure (knee) and Caleb Kporha (back) will not be available for selection once again.

Predicted Lineup: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Kamada, Wharton, Mitchell; Sarr, Pino; Mateta.

Manchester United

Manchester United seemed to have steadied the ship after a rocky start. They were nicely working their way toward a top four position before recent setbacks against Nottingham Forest and Everton have led critics to question their credentials once again.

United now return to a venue where they had lost 4-0 last year. Most of United’s success this season has come at Old Trafford. So, Amorim’s men face an uphill battle to arrest the slump next week.

Team News: Benjamin Sesko is still struggling with his knee injury and is likely to miss the trip.

Predicted Lineup: Lammens; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Mbeumo, Diallo; Zirkzee.

• Crystal Palace are on a four-match unbeaten streak against Man United, with three wins and a draw. 
• Manchester United have not won at Selhurst Park since 2020. 
• Manchester United have failed to score in any of their last four matches against Crystal Palace.

Selhurst Park has not been a happy hunting ground for Manchester United. They’ve been unable to win here in their last five visits and given United’s struggles outside Old Trafford this season, it seems unlikely that they will be able to flip the script on Monday. 

Odds on betting apps suggest this is going to be a close contest. While Palace have been a tough nut to crack at home, they have often struggled to find the winning touch. 

They should fancy their chances against United, though. Man United looked lacklustre against a 10-men Everton at home. Getting anything from a spirited Palace side away from home seems like a stretch at the moment. 

We see Palace winning this match.

Crystal Palace 1-0 Manchester United @ $11

Manchester United could not score against Crystal Palace in their last four attempts. With Sesko out, and the likes of Marcus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo failing to make an impact against Everton, we don’t see them finding the net against Palace. 

Palace have failed to score in two of their last four home matches as well. But they should be able to score once against a Man United backline that did not keep a clean-sheet in their last five games. 

All things considered, wagering on a 1-0 win for Palace at odds of $11 seems like a reasonable punt at Bet and Play.
