Manchester United vs Crystal Palace prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 02, 2025
Manchester United will play their 24th round match against Crystal Palace on Sunday at Old Trafford. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with good odds.
Match Preview
Manchester United secured only their second win in the last seven matches in the championship, defeating Fulham 1-0 in the previous round. This victory was the only one in their last seven games, which also included one draw and four losses. The club is currently in 12th place in the standings, 11 points behind the European competition spots.
29 points after 23 rounds represent the worst performance of Manchester United at this stage of the competition since the Premier League was established. It is also worth noting that the Red Devils have suffered four defeats in their last five home games at Old Trafford, with only a victory over the league's outsider, Southampton.
Crystal Palace extended their unbeaten streak to five matches in the Premier League (three wins and two draws), but in the last round, this positive trend was broken as they lost 1-2 at home to Brentford.
However, in their last 12 Premier League matches, they have only lost twice, with five wins and five draws. Under Oliver Glasner, they sit in 13th place in the standings, just two points behind Manchester United.
Probable Line-ups
- Manchester United: Andre Onana – Harry Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez – Manuel Ugarte, Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui – Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho – Rasmus Højlund

Prediction
Bookmakers give a slight advantage to the hosts in this match, but Manchester United has been struggling lately. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, is unbeaten in their last seven away matches. It seems like a good option to bet on "Crystal Palace not to lose" with odds of 1.85.
