Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Betting Tips

Neither Crystal Palace nor Tottenham come into this fixture in good form, but the overall picture is far more concerning for Spurs.

Thomas Frank’s side have just one league win in the past two months, a run that leaves them 14th in the table and four points behind Crystal Palace, who themselves have lost their last two league matches.

Premier League tipster Ben Smith has previewed the match and shared his best betting selection.

Eagles Stalling

Crystal Palace came close to reaching the Carabao Cup semi-finals in midweek, scoring a stoppage-time equaliser away at Arsenal before losing the penalty shootout that followed.

That result made it four matches without a win in all competitions. Their only point in that run came in the Europa Conference League against Finnish side KuPS, a match they were expected to win comfortably.

In fairness, one of those defeats came against Manchester City, but the heavy loss to Leeds United will have caused concern. Palace can take some encouragement from the fact that the last time they went four games without a win, they followed it with four victories from five.

Their response will have to come without Ismaila Sarr, who is away at AFCON, but Jean-Philippe Mateta is expected to be available after featuring at the Emirates despite a knee issue.

Little Encouragement for Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur continue to head in the wrong direction, sliding down the table while also losing key personnel. With an already lengthy injury list, their problems have deepened further. Xavi Simons is suspended for three matches following his red card incident involving Virgil van Dijk, while Cristian Romero will miss the trip to Selhurst Park after another dismissal, this time for two yellow cards against the league champions.

Tottenham’s away form, which looked promising early in the season, has deteriorated badly. They were beaten 4-1 by Arsenal in the North London derby and suffered a defeat by the same margin at Nottingham Forest on their last road trip.

With attacking players such as Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Dominic Solanke still unavailable, optimism is in short supply.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham H2H

Palace completed a league double over Tottenham last season, ending a run of five straight defeats in the head to head.

Mateta was the difference when the sides met at Selhurst Park last October, while Eberechi Eze, now with Arsenal, decided the return fixture in May.

Palace have never beaten Spurs in three consecutive league games, so a win this weekend would be a historic one.

Our Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Betting Tip

Only Mateta has registered more shots in the Premier League for Crystal Palace this season than Yeremi Pino, and it is the Spaniard who features in our best bet for this fixture.

Ben Smith has identified some appealing Premier League odds involving the attacking midfielder.

Take a Punt on Pino

Replacing Eze was never going to be straightforward, but Yeremi Pino has made a solid start since arriving from Villarreal in the summer.

He has shown no hesitation in getting shots away for Crystal Palace, with his goal output beginning to follow. Pino has looked particularly keen at Selhurst Park, averaging 2.67 shots per 90 minutes on home soil. He registered four efforts in Palace’s last home league match against Manchester City, with two of those hitting the target.

That made it three successive home league appearances in which he has tested the goalkeeper, despite one being limited to a 25-minute cameo.

Expected to start here, he should see opportunities again against a Tottenham Hotspur side that have allowed 15, 19, 15 and 17 shots across their last four away games.

TIP: Yeremy Pino Over 0.5 Shots on Target - 23/20 with BetMGM.
