Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Prediction
Old Trafford form meets Palace’s away scoring run
Manchester United have won their last three home games and five of their six at Old Trafford since Michael Carrick took charge. That home sequence has become the central reference point in their push for a top-five finish, even if recent displays have not always convinced.
A 1-1 draw with West Ham and a narrow 1-0 win at Everton on Monday showed a dip in fluency. Neither performance reached the level seen immediately after Carrick’s appointment. Still, the 1-0 at Goodison Park underlined resilience, especially after rhythm had been disrupted by an early cup exit.
Crystal Palace arrive with their own clear pattern on the road. The Eagles have scored in 13 of their last 14 away matches in all competitions. That scoring frequency travels well, even though results have drifted under Oliver Glasner and wins against top-six sides away from home remain rare.
Palace have only two wins from their last 26 away games against teams who started the day in the top six, losing 16 of those fixtures. United, meanwhile, have lost their last two home meetings with Palace and were beaten 4-0 at Selhurst Park a couple of seasons ago, which adds an edge to this pairing.
United edged the reverse fixture 2-1 earlier this season, with two set-piece goals proving decisive. Palace did not concede in wins over Wolves and Zrinjski Mostar this week, yet both opponents created problems from dead-ball situations.
Three straight home wins for Manchester United alongside Palace scoring in 13 of their last 14 away matches keeps a home victory with both teams finding the net firmly in play at 3.00.
Tip: Manchester United and Both Teams To Score ( at N/A)
Set-piece pattern keeps Casemiro in focus
All five of Casemiro’s Premier League goals this season have come from set pieces. That detail is consistent and clear, and it defines his scoring profile.
Crystal Palace have conceded 13 goals from set plays in the league, the third-highest total in the division. They have allowed as many goals from set pieces as from open play, and five of their last 13 conceded have come directly from corners or free-kicks.
In the earlier 2-1 meeting between these sides, two United set-piece goals shaped the result. Casemiro remains their most significant aerial and second-ball threat in those moments, accounting for more than a third of United’s goals from such situations.
Even with Palace recording clean sheets against Wolves and Zrinjski Mostar, vulnerability from dead-ball phases was still visible. That underlying number keeps the price of 6.00 in line with a repeat contribution from a player whose league goals all follow the same route.
Five Premier League set-piece goals for Casemiro this season and 13 set-piece goals conceded by Crystal Palace support interest in the midfielder to score anytime at 6.00.
Tip: Casemiro To Score Anytime ( at N/A)
