Betting on Manchester United
First, we have a solid Manchester United, who are fourth in the Premier standings and who are qualifying for the UEFA Champions League group stage at the moment. Out of the 20 games they have played, they have won 12, drawn 3 and lost 5, for a total of 39 points.
In addition, they have managed to score 32 goals and allowed 25, so they have a 7 goal difference in their favor. In their five most recent English league matches they have won three (0-1 vs Wolverhampton; 3-0 vs Bournemouth; 2-1 vs Manchester City), drawn one (1-1 vs Crystal Palace) and lost one (3-2 vs Arsenal). In these five matches, they scored a total of 9 goals and allowed 5:
Rashford, Luke Shaw, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, and Lisandro Martinez all scored goals. These are the best players the Red Devils have at the moment and, therefore, are the most reliable line-by-line.
Possible Manchester United lineup (4-2-3-1): David De Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Fred, Casemiro; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford; Wout Weghorst.
Betting on Crystal Palace
On the other hand, Crystal Palace is in the second half of the table in twelfth position. Like Man United, they have played 20 games, with the difference being that they have barely won 6, drawn 6 and lost 8, records that leave them with 24 points and -9 in goal difference.
Recent Premier League matches played by Crystal Palace have not had the most favorable results. They have one win (0-2 vs Bournemouth), two draws (1-1 vs Man United; 0-0 vs Newcastle United) and two defeats (0-4 vs Tottenham; 1-0 vs Chelsea).
In these five matches, they have managed to score 3 goals: Ayew, Eze and Olise were the players who managed to score in the last few games. We are certain the team will start at least two of these three players this Sunday against Manchester.
Possible Crystal Palace lineup (4-3-3): Vicente Guaita; Nathaniel Clyne, James Tomkins, Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell; Jeffrey Schlupp, Cheick Doucoure, Eberechi Eze; Michael Olise, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Wilfried Zaha.
JefeBet Prediction
Although they drew in their last meeting earlier this month, Manchester United vs Crystal Palace won’t be a similar match to that one, because it will be played at the Theatre of Dreams and United’s dominance at home is well known. Therefore, at JefeBet we believe that the home team will win.
Prediction: Manchester United win 3-1.
