Reason for Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Predictions
Palace has a game in hand, but even with a win on Saturday, they’ll stay 13th. While they aren’t safe yet, it is highly unlikely that they’ll get involved in the relegation scrap later on in the season. They are 11 points above 18th placed Fulham, and four points from their remaining six matches should be enough to guarantee safety. It hasn’t been easy for Palace in recent games, and they are coming from straight losses to top four sides Leicester City and Chelsea, having earlier drawn with Everton. Palace has four wins and five clean sheets in their last 15 league matches, and at home, they have three clean sheets in the previous five league games but won only once. Eberechi Eze is a great player, and with one move, he can create problems for the opponent. He has excellent dribbling, and in the one-on-one game, he is unstoppable. Wilfried Zaha is the best player on the team, and it will be challenging to keep him because many great clubs want him.
Manchester City fought from a goal down to secure a 2-1 win over French giants PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday. In the next two league matches, they could wrap up the title and shift focus on the Champions League, but for now, all attention is on Palace, with the visitors currently on three straight wins. They are eyeing a treble, and after the win in Paris, they may well get it. This is after winning the League Cup last weekend. Manchester City has just one clean sheet in their previous five matches, and except for one game, the loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup, they’ve managed to outscore their opponents. Judged by their earlier form, they’ve struggled a bit in recent matches, and it doesn’t look though like they’ll miss out on the league title. Phil Foden shows her talent and should be one of the leading players in the future. Raheem Sterling is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, he has excellent ball control, and he can be satisfied with his performance.
Conclusion
Manchester City is a big favorite in this match, and they are expected to solve the question of the winner at halftime.
The prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals. This clash should be a real treat for all football fans.
