Jose Mourinho has the chance to get 3 vital points in the 13th Premier League in a match against Manchester United and Crystal Palace. The duel takes place on Saturday, at 15:00, and the “devils” have not lost at home in front of Palace for 12 intimate meetings.
Manchester United hopes to finally enter the battle for a seat of the UEFA Champions League, being now in the 8th position in the Premier League (goal 20-21). Crystal Palace is on 16th place (8-17 golaveraj) and has a modest balance in the championship moves, where it evolves very defensively and rarely takes risks free of charge.
Zaha might be missing from the London camp.
Last round, Manchester United had no answer to rivals Manchester City in the derby at Etihad (1-3), but before the failure we have witnessed three consecutive wins for Jose Mourinho’s team, all with the same score: 2-1 with Juventus, Bournemouth and Everton. The Palace comes after 6 defeats in the last 7 stages and did not impress with this season, but with serious batch problems.
Saturday may miss two major strikers, Benteke (still unrefogged) and Wilfired Zaha, London’s best footballer. Previously, the Palace slipped on their own ground, 0-1 with Tottenham after losing to Chelsea (1-3). The only sunshine of the last two months: a 2-2 on home ground with Arsenal, obtained from an equalizer goal scored in the game’s extra time! Overall, Crystal Palace is too sterile in away matches, and Mourinho will perfectly organize defending over the weekend.
Manchester United has won the last 4 straight duels, scores 2-1, 2-0, 4-0 and 3-2, and Palace has failed to be dangerous on the last two visits to “Old Trafford”. Online agencies offer a very good deal for a homeless win of the hosts, and we will choose a variation of this bet, which gives us more chances of winning. United has 10 wins and two draws in the last 12 duels on its own ground with Crystal Palace, with 16-2 golaver! It is time for a victory that would adjust the statistics of the “devils” who received the goal in each home match played this season!
THE PROBABLE TEAMS
Manchester United: De Gea – Darmian – Smalling, Lindelof, Young – Herrera, Matic, Pogba – Lingard, Sanchez, Martial
Crystal Palace: Hennessey – Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt – McArthur, Kouyate, Milivojevic, Meyer – Townsend, Zaha / Ayew
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.76
