Crystal Palace vs Manchester City prediction and betting tips on April 6, 2024
One of the fixtures in the 32nd round of the English Premier League will take place in London at Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace will face Manchester City. Here's the prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Crystal Palace
Under the guidance of Roy Hodgson, the "Eagles" finished in a fairly respectable 11th place last season. During the summer, the club bid farewell to the long-standing leader Zaha, and it was clear then that it would be unlikely to climb higher. Midway through the season, Roy Hodgson stepped down as well, following advice from doctors to retire from football. Under the guidance of Oliver Glasner, the "Eagles" are, frankly speaking, unimpressive. Last weekend, Crystal Palace played an away match against Bournemouth, where they lost 0-1, conceding the only goal in the 79th minute. This defeat extended Crystal Palace's winless streak to four matches - two draws and two losses. Currently, Crystal Palace occupies 14th place in the table, with an eight-point cushion from the relegation zone.
Manchester City
The "Citizens" are going through a tough stretch in their schedule, and as expected, they dropped points. In two consecutive matches against Liverpool and Arsenal, Pep Guardiola's team had setbacks, resulting in draws. Arsenal took advantage of this and climbed to the top of the Premier League table. However, in terms of lost points, Liverpool is the leader of the Premier League, having the same number of points as City but with a game in hand. Midweek, Manchester City defeated Aston Villa 4-1 at home. It's worth noting that Aston Villa was the last team to defeat City, which happened in early December 2023, and currently, City's unbeaten streak counts 24 matches in all competitions. Also, next Tuesday, the "Citizens" will play the first leg of the quarterfinals against Real Madrid in Madrid.
