Premier League Betting Preview: Manchester City vs Crystal Palace

Second-placed Manchester City go head-to-head with Crystal Palace at Etihad Stadium, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Wednesday 13 May.

Arsenal are five points clear of Manchester City, although they have played a game more. With the Gunners facing already relegated Burnley at home and a Crystal Palace side that could have one eye on the Europa Conference League final three days later, City’s title chances appear slim.

However, we still expect Pep Guardiola’s side to keep fighting for as long as there remains a mathematical chance of winning the league, and with goal difference potentially proving important, we’re backing City at -2 on the Asian Handicap.

This bet means our stake is refunded if City triumph by exactly two goals, while we win at -103 if they win by three or more.

Manchester City won 3-0 when hosting Brentford at Etihad Stadium in their last game. That means it’s now been two Premier League home wins on the spin. The Citizens enjoyed 59% possession and managed ten shots on target, with Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush scoring one goal apiece.

Crystal Palace drew 2-2 against Everton in their previous game. This was on home soil at Selhurst Park. The South London club recorded 59% possession and had eight shots on goal, while Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta found the net.

Head-to-Head Statistics

City overcame Palace away when the sides last clashed. It was a 3-0 scoreline at Selhurst Park. The past 10 H2H meetings have featured five City victories, three draws and two Palace wins.
