- Tottenham Hotspur have won two and lost two of their last five Premier League 2026/2027 matches, drawing one, and arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the back of consecutive wins.
- Crystal Palace have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five matches, arriving on the back of a 5-0 away defeat to Brighton in the Premier League 2026/2027 and a 2-2 away draw with Besiktas in the UEFA Europa League league phase.
- Crystal Palace have won three of the last five head-to-heads, including a 3-1 win away from home in the Premier League 2025/2026, and have won two of their last three trips to Tottenham.
An exciting match in store at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The Eagles may have the head-to-head edge over Tottenham and will be keen to keep it, but the market is firmly with the hosts here, for good reason.
Spurs are slight favourites to win the match at 1.64, and that looks about right as the hosts are in better form, arriving on the back of a 1-1 draw at Manchester United and a 3-1 victory at home to Coventry City.
Palace, meanwhile, have gone 1-1-3 in their last five, losing 5-0 to Brighton away from home and failing to beat Besiktas away in their most recent assignments.
They have won two of their last three trips to Tottenham, so the Eagles won't have an easy afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but we're going to pass on the draw here.
With Tottenham in better nick and coming off a two-match winning streak, we're expecting them to edge this one and, with Conor Gallagher on one Premier League 2026/2027 goal in three appearances this season, they have an excellent targetman to run at Palace.
Goals are also expected here as Over 2.5 is priced at 1.57 and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.6. De Zerbi has had Tottenham playing a possession-based, press-baiting 4-2-3-1 since taking charge on 31 March 2026 and Sage has continued his compact 3-4-2-1 setup since taking the Palace reins on 1 July 2026.
The wing-backs in the Palace setup should help to make the middle of the pitch and the wings an interesting area of conflict, and we're siding with the Spurs in this one.
