Routine victory for the champions
Although Manchester City were left frustrated after their 0-0 draw with Arsenal, they remain in the title race. However, three points are required to keep the pressure on both Arsenal and Liverpool if they are to defend their crown.
This might not be as easy as most expect, given the two sides drew 2-2 in their most recent head-to-head. If we look closely at the stats, Palace scored from their two shots on goal, while Man City had 74% possession, 19 shots and six corners compared to Palace’s one.
If the match was to be replayed, nine times out of ten Man City would come out on top. They’ll be seeking revenge in London and they have the quality to prevail.
With the second-best away form in the league, Guardiola’s side can get back on track against the team which has struggled against the bigger ones this campaign.
Bet 1: Back Manchester City to win @ Bet9ja
Goals to flow at Selhurst Park
As we have mentioned, the previous head-to-head fixture saw the match produce four goals. Hence, there’s every reason to believe this one can see at least three.
Four of City’s last five away matches have not only seen the current champions come out on top, but also winning in style.
There’s been at least four goals scored in their victories over Everton, Brentford and Newcastle. Furthermore, it’ll be difficult for the hosts to prevent City from adding to their impressive tally.
However, City are vulnerable, and conceded in all of those four wins, so expect Crystal Palace to get on the scoresheet.
Bet 2: Manchester City to win and over 2.5 goals @ 1.87 with Bet9ja
History to repeat itself
Although Man City have shown defensive vulnerabilities, they’ve simply outscored most teams on their travels.
Including the results already mentioned above, they dominated against Luton Town in the FA Cup, winning 6-2. They showed just how ruthless they can be from the very first minute.
Man City have beaten Crystal Palace in four of their last five matches at Selhurst Park. All of those victories have been by a two-goal margin.
Three of Man City’s most recent away matches against Brentford, Everton and Copenhagen have all seen the champions win 3-1. Such results suggest we will see this tip win for us once again.
Bet 3: Manchester City to win by two @ 3.55 with Bet9ja
City’s correct score looks promising
A popular scoreline for the visitors catches the eye as they head to London striving to tighten the gap on those at the top of the table.
Man City have recently beaten Copenhagen 3-1 in the Champions League. They have also secured the same result against the arch-rivals Manchester United in the Premier League back in March.
Man City have struggled to keep clean sheets this season, keeping just two from their last six matches at the time of writing.
Crystal Palace can threaten to break through their defence. However, overall, City have superior quality and will return to the scoresheet in fine fashion.
