Bet on Man City vs Crystal Palace

Will City Halt Palace’s Momentum?

Despite their woes, Man City are still fighting for a Champions League place. The Citizens sit sixth after last weekend’s Manchester derby draw at Old Trafford. The champions have taken 52 points from 31 league fixtures.

Crystal Palace look for a top-half finish after another solid season in England’s top tier. The Eagles are currently in 11^th, two points behind tenth-place Bournemouth. Like City, Palace are through to the FA Cup semi-finals, too.

Man City are unbeaten in four league and cup fixtures, winning two and drawing two. Their form has slowly but surely improved, suffering just one defeat in their previous seven league and cup games.

Crystal Palace are on an incredible run, losing just twice in 2025. Since the turn of the year, Oliver Glasner’s troops have won 11 of 15 in all competitions. They are unbeaten in seven, winning six and drawing one.

December’s reverse fixture at Selhurst Park was a cracker. Palace were pegged back twice by Man City, and the champions ended the game with ten players.

The pair’s last meeting at the Etihad Stadium also ended in a 2-2 draw, though City did pick up a 4-2 win in London a year ago. The Citizens are undefeated in six (three wins, three draws).

Even though Crystal Palace are firing on all cylinders right now, getting anything from Saturday’s trip to the Etihad will be a tall order for Glasner’s Eagles. We are backing Man City to win -1 at 1.79.

With the prolific Erling Haaland sidelined, Man City will turn to Omar Marmoush for goals. Since his January arrival, the Egyptian has netted six times for City. Marmoush is available at 2.00 to score anytime in this one.
