Crystal Palace — Manchester United Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 30 November 2025
On November 30, 2025, in Matchday 13 of the English Premier League, Crystal Palace will host Manchester United. The match is set to kick off at 13:00 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace approach this match after a defeat in the Conference League away to French side Strasbourg. This loss ended their excellent unbeaten run of more than a month, which consisted of 5 matches without defeat — 4 wins and 1 draw in all competitions. The defeat to Strasbourg was their second in the Conference League, as they had previously lost to AEK Larnaca. They also claimed two wins against AZ Alkmaar and Dynamo Kyiv, and with 6 points the team currently sit 18th in the overall Conference League standings, still fighting for a place in the play-offs.
As for the Premier League, the team are unbeaten in their last 3 matches: wins against Brentford and Wolverhampton, and a draw against Brighton. Crystal Palace currently sit quite high in the table. They now have 20 points and trail the league leader by only 9 points, while the gap to the Champions League spots is just 1 point.
An important aspect is the team’s defence: only 9 goals conceded in 12 matches — the second-best defensive record after Arsenal. Regarding their home form, Palace have been playing fairly well at home, losing only once this season — that was in the Conference League against AEK. All other home matches ended without defeat.
In terms of home meetings against Manchester United, Crystal Palace have looked solid in recent years. They are unbeaten at home against United in 5 consecutive matches, with 3 draws and 2 wins. Most of these encounters were low-scoring and ended under 2.5 total goals.
Manchester United
Manchester United continue to disappoint, showing rather unstable results. In their most recent match, the team lost at home to Everton, despite playing with a numerical advantage from the 13th minute. They still ended up losing, and this became their third consecutive Premier League match without a win. Before that, they recorded two draws — against Nottingham and Tottenham, both finishing 2–2.
At the moment, the team sit 10th with 18 points, level with Liverpool, Everton and Tottenham. They are only 2 points behind Crystal Palace, and the table remains extremely tight, meaning a single win could lift them significantly. However, the team continue to struggle defensively: 19 conceded, highlighting clear issues at the back.
Regarding their away performances, United have not been convincing. In their last 7 away matches, they have only 1 win, along with 4 draws and 2 defeats.
As for matches against Crystal Palace, Manchester United have looked quite poor in recent head-to-heads. They have failed to win any of the last 4 meetings with Palace: 3 defeats and 1 draw. And most notably — United have not scored a single goal in any of those four matches.

Crystal Palace — Manchester United Prediction
Both teams come into this match after defeats in their most recent games, but overall their form remains fairly solid. Crystal Palace perform well at home, sit high in the Premier League table, and have had successful head-to-head meetings against Manchester United in recent years. Manchester United still have not found their best form. The team fluctuates between losses, strong performances, and disappointing matches, and currently remain stuck in the middle of the table. They concede a lot, which often leads to dropped points. In this match, we expect a rather cautious approach from both sides. Recent meetings between these teams have been played very carefully, with a minimal number of goals. Crystal Palace will aim to strengthen their position in the upper part of the table, while Manchester United will be looking to halt their negative run. Therefore, we anticipate a careful and low-scoring match. My bet for this match: Total Under 3 goals at odds of 1.63.
