Our prediction for the match Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
“The Red Devils” already failed last season. Moreover, that happened both in the Champions League, finishing last in the group, and in the Premier League, where they slipped from 3rd to 8th place. Still, then they managed to win the FA Cup. Speaking about the club from London, Hodgson was replaced by Glasner about a year ago. Being under his leadership, “the Glaziers” finished on the verge of the top 10 with 49 points.
The representatives of the capital of England started the new season terribly: 3 points after 8 rounds, 1 win in 13 games. Then they succeeded only in the League Cup, but the team was eliminated there too. However, the Austrian specialist had finally got his game back on “track” by winter, and what’s more, the results were improving. There was only a draw with Chelsea, with wins against Southampton, Leicester and West Ham after Christmas. Speaking about the previous round, where the team played with Brentford, it still faltered, losing the home game with a 1-2 score. And Manchester United had an almost complete nightmare, both with ten Hag and with Ruben Amorim, with some reservations like winning the derby, going through in the Cup with 10 men in the battle against Arsenal. As for the Europa League, the English club also won. Still, there is already a real discussion about the threat of relegation in the Premier League. However, the team managed to squeeze out a 1-0 draw with Fulham.
“The Red Devils” attack poorly (1.22) and defend terribly (1.39). The guests from London have got about the same ratio, a little more modest, but with a smaller gap – 1.13/1.3
