- Crystal Palace have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Manchester United have the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Premier League
It's no vacation for neither Crystal Palace nor Manchester United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Crystal Palace form and stats
The complete Premier League results playing at home this season for Crystal Palace are 4-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). Crystal Palace are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Selhurst Park, having lost their two previous games here.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 234 minutes without scoring a league goal. Eze was the last player to find the net.
Palace are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Chelsea. Midfield player Olise got a match rating of 7.13 in that game, the max score being 10. Olise hit two key passes and had 40 successful passes (of 47 total).
Preceding that fixture, a home loss in the FA Cup against Southampton.
It should be considered that a peek at the 10 most recent league fixtures reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Crystal Palace, as the Premier League home game vs Newcastle United is only three days away.
Palace are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Crystal Palace defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Manchester United form and stats
The visitors are W5-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Crystal Palace.
Fernandes and Rashford scored in United's previous match, the home game against Manchester City that ended 2-1. Rashford has scored at least one goal for the visitors seven games in a row. The capability! Wan-Bissaka, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.44. Wan-Bissaka won 7 of 9 duels.
A home victory as expected against Charlton Athletic before that, in the Carabao Cup.
Manchester United have another match that requires travelling in just four days, a Premier League match versus Arsenal. A back-breaking timetable for the visitors!
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Manchester United have scored 12 goals in 9 league games away. United have conceded 16 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Crystal Palace victories, two draws and five Manchester United wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
