Manchester City vs Crystal Palace Match Preview and Match Prediction
•Over 2.5 goals has landed in five of Manchester United’s last six games.
•Manchester United have drawn four of their last five matches.
•Bruno Fernandes has scored seven goals in his last six appearances.
Eagles flying under Glasner
Crystal Palace have looked a transformed side since Oliver Glasner took charge and the Eagles will now look to pile the misery on a downtrodden Manchester United side on Monday.
The Eagles head into this game having taken ten points from the last 12 available and, while there is little on the line for the remainder of the season, they will be keen to keep the momentum going and end the campaign strongly.
Red Devils look ahead to Wembley
By contrast, Manchester United dropped more points against Burnley last time out and, with their Champions League ambitions laid to rest, the success of their season hinges on their FA Cup Final at the end of May.
Their draw against Burnley last time out means they have now won just one of their last eight inside 90 minutes, and a lot of their struggles stem from an injury-hit and disorganised back line.
Goals expected at Selhurst Park
The result has been plenty of high-scoring games, with over 2.5 goals landing in five of their last six matches and a total of 29 goals being scored across this period.
Considering Palace have scored 11 goals in their last five games, backing over 2.5 goals looks a good choice and I’m also siding with a 2-2 correct score prediction. Manchester United have been level after 90 minutes in four of their last five games and two of these have ended 2-2.
Anytime goalscorer punters should consider Bruno Fernandes, too. The Portuguese midfielder has driven his side forward recently and his brace against Sheffield United means he has now scored seven goals in his last six matches.
