Manchester City - Crystal Palace match score prediction: Shoot down the Eagles

Few teams have enjoyed a better record at the Etihad than Crystal Palace, who have won two of their last six away games (D2 L2) against champions Manchester City. Manchester City are in shaky form at the moment, so London fans will be hoping the Eagles can replicate their two-goal lead in December's 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park.

Man City will be aware of Crystal Palace's impressive run, having lost just two of their last 17 games in all competitions since the end of December (W12 D3) and they extended their unbeaten run to seven games with a 2-1 win over Brighton last weekend. And with their momentum high, they will hope to shock the hosts despite missing suspended striker Eddie Nketiah.

Manchester City have not had the luck to play early in the afternoon (D1 L2) so success in front of the home crowd this time is not certain. But Manchester City will have to grit their teeth as they are behind Chelsea and Newcastle in the race for a top 5 spot in the Champions League next season.

In Erling Haland's absence, January signing Omar Marmoush will continue to lead the attack for the home team, while defensive trio Ake - Stones - Akanji are still in the recovery room.

The initial odds of Manchester City conceding 1 goal, losing money (winning only 87) did not attract players, but by this morning the market had completely tilted towards the away team when the price was only 92-97. Many forecasters predicted that at the last minute it could change to half-one because of the Eagles' impressive form.

In their last 10 Premier League games, only Liverpool (23 points) have picked up more points than Crystal Palace (22 points with 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses), while the Eagles have also won four of their last five (D1) and won six of their last eight away games (D2).

But it must also be seen that this good form will make Dai Bang abandon their counter-attacking style to recklessly pressure Manchester City. A fearless Crystal Palace will be easier to deal with than a pragmatic Eagles who huddle together to defend and wait for counter-attacks.

With a handicap of half a goal or 1 goal, choosing the home team is still more secure because they are more determined at home.

The score of 2-1 is the most popular with a betting price of 1 to 8, while 2-0 pays 9.2 and 1-0 pays up to 10. The possibility of a 1-1 draw is also very promising with a price of 9.2, and 2-2 pays up to 15. However, the winning chance for Crystal Palace is very low with a score of 0-1 paying up to 19, and 1-2 paying up to 16.
