Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
English Premier League
Date: 6 May 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London).
Tottenham host Crystal Palace in the derby between north and south London on Saturday afternoon in Matchday No 35.
The two outfits were on the opposite ends of seven-goal thrillers last weekend. Spurs conceded a last-gasp goal to lose 4-3 to Liverpool at Anfield while the Eagles dispatched West Ham in another London derby with an identical scoreline.
Tottenham officially gave up the battle for the top-four finish after a loss at the Anfield. They took just one point from the previous four league outings and have dropped to sixth place in the table as a consequence.
If there are any positives to be taken from their recent games, we should praise the team’s spirits as the players were determined to come back from a three-goal deficit against Liverpool six days ago.
Unfortunately for their fans, a late Lucas Moura mistake connected Diogo Jota with the goal in the dying minutes of the stoppage-time, just after Richarlison’s equalizer.
Crystal Palace, on the other side, continued their resurgence under Roy Hodgson. The team play exciting football and they’ve bagged four goals past the Hammers to return to winning ways after somewhat slower displays in the games against Everton and Wolves beforehand.
Wilfried Zaha marked the return after a lengthy injury with a goal, while the likes of Jordan Ayew, Jeffrey Schlupp, and Eberechi Eze were also among the scorers last Saturday at Selhurst Park.
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Head-to-head
- Crystal Palace will be searching for revenge after a 0-4 defeat at the hands of Spurs in the return game in January this year at Selhurst Park.
- Tottenham have 13 wins, 6 draws, and only 4 defeats in the previous 23 home encounters with the Eagles.
- Three or more goals were scored in each of the previous four head to head outings between the two rivals.
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction
We have seen goals at both ends in each of Spurs’ last eight games across competitions. The team currently led by interim manager Ryan Mason do not play defense at all these days as they allowed 15 goals in the last four Premier League affairs.
Nevertheless, we do like the spirits Tottenham’s players have shown six days ago in Liverpool and we fancy them to bounce back on Saturday against Palace. We will take Tottenham to win & Both Teams To Score at the 3.50 odds, while we also like Heung-Min Son to score anytime at the 2.75 odds. The Korean superstar has shown a big rise in form in the last several weeks and we can him on the scoreline against the attacking-minded Eagles here.
