Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Match Preview

Manchester United responded well after a painful 0-3 defeat to Liverpool at the Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag regrouped his lads during the international break. The Red Devils have managed a pair of comprehensive wins since then.

Manchester United cruised past Southampton 3-0 away at St. Mary’s Stadium last weekend and they then demolished lower-division Barnsley 7-0 in the third round of the Carabao Cup in mid-week.

Erik ten Hag’s troops will be looking to complete a perfect week on Saturday afternoon. They visit Selhurst Park for the Matchday No 5 fixture against Crystal Palace.

Palace barely avoided a home loss to Leicester seven days ago, rescuing a point only after a late added-time equalizer by Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Head coach Oliver Glasner can be disappointed with the lack of meticulousness in his team’s defensive line in recent outings at the start of the season.

Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Prediction

This match has goals in it. Both outfits are leaky at the back while possessing a strong firepower on display in the final third.

Each of Crystal Palace’s last three games in all competitions saw goals at both ends. The Eagles played a 2-2 draw to Leicester last Saturday.

On the other side, Manchester United have scored a total of 10 goals in the last two wins over Southampton and Barnsley.

Last but not least, three of the previous four H2H meetings between these counterparts provided at least three goals.

The Over 2.5 goals pick is paid at the 1.61 odds while we also like the look of the 3.50 odds offered for Marcus Rashford to score anytime.

We all know Rashford as a streaky player. He notched three goals in his last two appearances for United and these odds are too good considering he is facing an out-of-form Palace defence this weekend.
