Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Predictions, Odds & Sports Betting Tips 30/09/2023

Just four days after their League Cup clash, Manchester United and Crystal Palace once again lock horns at Old Trafford. The home side cruised to a 3-0 victory in that game, but expect both teams to be much changed from that game.

It’s fair to say that it hasn’t been a vintage start to the season for Manchester United. Defeats to the likes of Brighton and Arsenal have highlighted the flaws in Erik Ten Hag’s squad. New keeper Andre Onana has been exposed on several occasions, whilst the midfield is lacking energy and flair.

Last week’s away win at Burnley and the midweek Cup success will have improved the mood at Old Trafford, but Ten Hag will know that much more is needed to turn around United’s season.

10th place seems perfect for Crystal Palace. Roy Hodgson’s men have been solid but unspectacular at the start of the season and look well-equipped to keep themselves out of the relegation dogfight.

Hodgson’s squad have the ability to surprise anyone on their day. Exciting talents such as Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze looked destined for big money moves, whilst Joachim Andersen and Marc Guehi have established a high-class centre-back pairing.

Head to Head

United hold a huge 41-10 lead in the head-to-head between the teams, and have lost just one of the last six meetings. Since Palace returned to the Premier League in 2013, they have won just three out of 22 games against United.

Our Betting Tip for Today

The latest football betting odds have Manchester United as 3/5 on favourites for the fixtures, with Palace best priced at 5/1. The draw can be backed at 17/5.

The odds for a United win look far too short. They just haven’t shown anything in their league form to suggest they will be able to sweep Palace aside. The midweek Cup win was effectively a second string game and will have little bearing on this encounter.

Palace have plenty of pace in their lineup and that could cause the home side a lot of problems. The 5/1 on an away win holds some appeal, but we are going to recommend the 17/5 on a point apiece.
