Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Prediction 6 May 2024

Crystal Palace is a mid-table team in the English Premier League. Manchester United, for the most part, is too, as they only aim for the Conference League from European competitions, which the club hardly needs. The hosts are on the rise, so at "Selhurst Park" they are somewhat considered the favorites - 2.39 against 2.97.

Losses

For Crystal Palace, five players will definitely not play, and Guehi is in question. It should be noted that the main loss was Lermа, who has played 27 matches this season. Johnston was also an important player, but he has been adequately replaced in goal over the last month.

Manchester has a long list of injured players, consisting of defenders. Varane, Kambwala, Lindelöf, Malacia, Martínez, Shaw won't play. Evans and McTominay are also in doubt. There are losses in the attack as well, although there's a chance that Rashford or Fernandes might still appear on the field.

Head-to-Head Meetings

Manchester has the advantage in head-to-head meetings, having won 66 percent of the matches. However, in the first round, they lost at "Old Trafford" with a score of 0:1. If it is assumed that there will be few goals scored in the upcoming match as well, then one can bet on Total Goals Under (3.5) for 1.69.

Trends

• Manchester United scores and concedes in 8 consecutive away games in the Premier League.
• Crystal Palace scores in 13 out of the last 14 matches.
• Manchester United scores in 16 consecutive Premier League matches.

The Referee and Fouls

Jarred Gillett is appointed for the match. The referee has recorded an average of 20.6 fouls in his last 10 matches, showing 3.2 yellow cards, allowing teams to compete. Looking at the entire season, these numbers increase to 21.37 and 4.3 respectively.

Crystal Palace commits quite a lot of fouls by English Premier League standards - averaging 12.2 times. However, the team doesn't receive many yellow cards - 1.8.

Manchester United commits significantly fewer fouls than their opponent - 10.4. But they receive yellow cards almost as regularly.

Total Over 3.5 yellow cards played in 6 out of the last 7 home matches of Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Manchester United has not received more than two warnings away for a long time. In such a situation, it makes sense to bet on Yellow Cards - Crystal Palace Total Over (1.5) for 1.59.

Corners

• Manchester United takes fewer than 5.5 corners in 14 out of the last 16 away matches in the Premier League.
• Total Under 12.5 corners played in 6 out of the last 7 matches of Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Manchester United has few corners away. Crystal Palace cannot be relied upon in this aspect either. Therefore, we note the bet on Corners - Total Under (12.5) for 1.53.

Team Overviews

Crystal Palace changed its coach during the season. Glasner has not been working in London for long, but progress is already noticeable. For example, the team hasn't lost in four rounds in a row, securing three victories. In many cases, the team even dominated on the field, but still, Crystal Palace takes fewer than 7.5 corners in 6 out of the last 7 Premier League matches. You can bet on Corners - Crystal Palace Total Under (7.5) with a coefficient of 1.48.

Manchester United has serious personnel losses in defense, so they concede almost every match. However, the team hasn't lost in 8 out of the last 9 matches, although in many cases it was considered the favorite but did not achieve victories. The bet on Manchester United not to lose is valued with a coefficient of 1.65.

Editorial prediction

The outcome of the match can be unpredictable. But there will definitely be a fight, possibly even on the edge of roughness. In such a situation, note that the total over 3.5 yellow cards played in 6 out of the last 7 home matches of Crystal Palace, as well as in 9 out of the last 10 away matches of Manchester. Therefore, Yellow Cards - Total Over (3.5) for 1.62 - our key bet.
