- Manchester City has the fewest conceded goals (13) in Premier League
- Crystal Palace have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Manchester City and Crystal Palace.
Manchester City form and stats
Manchester City, who have the fewest conceded goals (13) in Premier League, have performed here at Etihad Stadium this season with 5 wins from 8 Premier League matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Manchester has won their last four matches. Two home wins in a row for Manchester City bring valid hopes of a third.
A nice win for Manchester last time playing, versus Brighton & Hove Albion. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Phil Foden scoring for the victors. Ahead of that match, Manchester won a home game hosting Birmingham City (3-0).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Manchester as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Aston Villa are visiting.
A decent goal production from Manchester City in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 8 league matches. Manchester City are not conceding a lot of goals here at Etihad Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 7 from 8 matches.
Crystal Palace form and stats
Playing away, Crystal Palace have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 4 defeats in the Premier League this season.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita Panadero is eager to challenge this, with his 187 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Arsenal (placed 11th) in their previous outing. The Premier League match ended in a draw 0-0. It was a FA Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Wolverhampton Wanderers wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The home team is given a winning chance of about 80 percent by the betting public. This does not leave much hope for the visitors, but some teams enjoy the outsider role and perform well in it. Looking at similar away games for Crystal we find two games. Results are zero Crystal Palace wins, zero draws and two defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Crystal have scored 11 goals in 9 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Crystal's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 14 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Manchester City seven wins, two draws and Crystal Palace one victory. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
