Premier League Betting Preview: Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
Fourth-placed Manchester United square off against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, with kick-off set for 09:00 on Sunday 1 March.
Michael Carrick is aiming to extend his unbeaten run as Manchester United head coach. Having taken an impressive 16 points from the last 18 available in the Premier League, no side has been in better form than United over the past six gameweeks.
Carrick has overseen a three-match home winning streak during that run, with United scoring multiple goals against Tottenham, Manchester City and Fulham. Combined with strong underlying xG numbers, this supports the case for backing the hosts to assert their dominance against Crystal Palace.
Backing United -1 on the Asian Handicap means the insurance of money back if the Red Devils beat Palace by a single goal. However, there’s a nice return at odds of -114 if the home team win by two or more.
Manchester United have triumphed in their last three games at Old Trafford. In their most recent appearance, they won away, beating Everton 1-0 at Hill Dickinson Stadium. United enjoyed 52% possession and had three shots on target, with the winning goal scored by Benjamin Sesko in the 71st minute.
Crystal Palace claimed a home win in their previous Premier League game. A 1-0 victory occurred against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Selhurst Park. The Eagles enjoyed 61% possession and recorded three shots on goal, with a late winner coming from Evann Guessand.
On Thursday night, Palace beat Zrinjski Mostar 2-0 at home in the Europa Conference League.
