Crystal Palace vs Stoke
England – FA Cup
Date: Tuesday, 1 March 2022
Kick-off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: Selhurst Park.
Crystal Palace are one of the prospects to secure a top-half finish in the English Premier League this season. They have had a tough schedule lately, and still they have managed to go on a satisfactory run.
In fact, since the end of November, their only defeats have come against teams placed in the top-seven of the table.
This Tuesday, they have an opportunity to make it to the Quarter Final of the FA Cup, and this will be a major confidence boost for the squad. And they have the luxury of playing at home, against a team from the second division.
Stoke are stuck in the bottom half of the Championship, and are on a long stretch of worrying performances. They have also been struggling on the road for quite some time, and most importantly, they have a poor h2h record against this rival over the years.
By the looks of things, expect a win for Palace this Tuesday at the Selhurst Park.
