Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Match Preview

For the 35th matchday of the English Premier League, Tottenham welcomes Crystal Palace at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Another defeat for Tottenham last weekend in the league, they were beaten 4-3 to Liverpool on the road. They made a nightmarish start with the characteristic that in the first quarter of the match they had conceded 3 goals. Then as time went by, they increased their performance and it was their turn to score 3 goals with the last one in stoppage time. But again their defense betrayed them and immediately after that they conceded a fourth goal and lost the match.

This was Tottenham's 3rd defeat in the last 4 matches and now it seems unlikely that they will catch up with the top four of the standings since the end of the previous matchday found them in 6th place with 54 points, 9 less than 4th Manchester United.

After an impressive match, Crystal Palace won the previous match against West Ham 4-3. They may found themselves behind in the score in the first quarter but they reacted brilliantly and closed the half with a 3-2 lead. In the second half, they were the side who controlled the match. Both teams scored one more goal each and in the end, it was Crystal Palace who celebrated the three points.

Thus, Crystal Palace returned to winning ways after 2 matches and with 40 points is in 11th place in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking for a return to winning ways in order to stay out of trouble in their fight for a European ticket. Crystal Palace, for their part, go into the match without stress and are not just an easy opponent. I expect a match with many chances and some goals. My pick is Over 2.5 goals at 1.80 odds.
