Spurs vs Palace Predictions, Wagering Odds, and Betting Strategies
Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
As both Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace look toward significant finals in their respective competitions, their Premier League clash this weekend carries less urgency for both sides.
On Thursday, Spurs secured a place in the Europa League final, defeating Bodo/Glimt 2-0 in the semi-finals. With a nod toward the potential trophy drought ending, Spurs are eager to clinch a first piece of silverware since 2008 when they face Manchester United in the Europa League final on May 21. The match also stands to offer Champions League qualification for the victor.
The North Londoners have struggled for consistency, currently languishing in 17th place in the Premier League table. However, a trophy would undoubtedly make their otherwise underwhelming season a success.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have their sights set on the FA Cup. Racking up an impressive history without a major trophy, Palace will compete against Manchester City in the FA Cup final next weekend. As clear underdogs, Patrick Vieira’s side will aim to upset the odds, just as they did in last year's final against Chelsea.
Ultimately, neither team will expect to receive a significant boost from their respective results this weekend in terms of their European prospects or FA Cup dreams. Both sets of supporters, however, can anticipate a lively match, with both teams eager to secure a valuable Premier League point ahead of the final stretch of the season.
Tottenham have won five of the last six head-to-head clashes against Palace. However, their past victory over Palace occurred in the reverse fixture earlier this season. In their last six visits to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Palace have yet to taste victory.
Several bookmakers offer odds on the match, with Crystal Palace being tipped as a potential winner by some, while over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring is also considered a likely outcome by others[1].
