Football prediction: Manchester City / Crystal Palace
Forecast bet on the number of Manchester City goals in the English Premier League match.
This will be the third attempt for Josep Guardiola to beat Patrick Vieira in the Premier League. Before that, the Spaniard had never won as a head coach, the Frenchman had 1 win and 1 draw, and there weren’t even goals conceded: last season, Crystal Palace beat Manchester City on their field with a score of 2:0, and in London was a goalless draw.
Under Patrick Vieira, the London club has become much more confident in defense, and for the first time in many years, Crystal Palace was able to finish the championship with a plus difference of goals scored and conceded. Although the Londoners have not really climbed up the table, and again without European cups, you can still feel a qualitative shift in the team’s game. In general, Crystal Palace is able to adapt to strong opponents, in the 2nd round the team managed to draw 1:1 with Liverpool.
Manchester City have not scored less than 2 goals this season. Bookmakers usually expect a team to score in every Premier League game at least 3 times. I expect that this time again, Crystal Palace will be able to contain the attacking potential of the hosts and will not concede more than 2.
Our prediction:
- Manchester City total “under 2.5” – odds 1.95
- Manchester City to win + “both to score” – odds 2.65
