Result tip

What's the betting tip for Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur?

Part one of this prediction is dedicated to the home side in today's betting tips. Crystal Palace's 2025/26 Premier League season has been rather inconsistent so far, ending in eighth place after matchday 17. Coach Oliver Glasner's team suffered a more than clear 4-1 defeat at promoted Leeds United, their fifth defeat in the English championship. However, this still contrasts with seven wins and five draws.

Premier League draw kings at Selhurst Park

But what is preventing Crystal Palace from achieving a better position? We have identified their own weakness at home as the main reason in these football predictions. Although Crystal Palace have only lost twice at home to Selhurst Park, they have only won two of their eight games there. Four draws in home games - that is the highest figure in the Premier League. And there is also room for improvement on the form curve. Before the disgrace in Leeds, The Eagles also lost their home game against Manchester City FC by a clear 3-0 margin.

Crystal Palace

System: 4-3-3.

How good is Tottenham Hotspur's current form?

Let's continue with Spurs and the current starting position for the visitors. Tottenham Hotspur are only 14th in the Premier League table with 22 points. That still means they are nine points clear of the relegation places. However, with a seven-point gap to fifth-placed Liverpool FC, they could make a huge leap up the table if they can maintain this lead. But then Spurs will have to start the same with their seventh win of the season in the championship. One statistic is encouraging.

The Spurs are dangerous away from home

Tottenham's away record reads very well. Four wins and two draws mean fourth place in the table of away games, as Spurs have only lost twice in foreign stadiums, although the most recent away match at Nottingham Forest was a clear 3-0 defeat. The Londoners also lost 2-1 to Liverpool FC last weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur

System: 4-2-3-1.

Our prediction for Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur

Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur neutralize each other with different statistics and will do the same on the pitch. The Eagles have already drawn four times at home, while Tottenham rarely lose away from home. There is a lot to be said for a draw X, especially as you can expect attractive odds. In addition, both clubs have been dominated by the Over 2.5 with at least three goals in recent matches. This goal bet is therefore also worth a mention from our point of view.
