Manchester City vs Crystal Palace: Who will win?
Manchester City versus Crystal Palace is one of the most anticipated clashes in the upcoming fixtures. The current Premier League number six and eleven are about to trade shots, which raises the question: who is the likely winner of this match?
Manchester City’s spotty performance
Manchester City’s recent games don’t look good. It lacks consistency, having two wins, two draws, and a loss in the previous five games. The spotty performance may be due to the loss of top players like Haaland, De Bruyne, and Rodri. On the bright side, most of their injured players are coming back this May.
Despite their recent match results, they are still number six in the League table with 15 wins out of their 31 matches. Manchester City remains a giant that is hard to topple.
Crystal Palace’s promising streak
Even though they are the underdogs in this match, their recent results have been promising enough to rattle Man City’s fans. As of this writing, Palace had four wins and a draw in their last five games. Despite only winning 11 out of their 30 games, they are gaining momentum quickly.
The team’s away performances are also something to be checked out. They secured six wins, five draws, and three losses, which is good for them as their match with Man City is an away game.
Players-wise, Palace is only looking at two major injuries: Chadi Riad’s ruptured ACL and Maxence Lacroix's concussion. Their injured and penalised players are returning this month, so it is not a big concern for them.
Man City may be in danger
Despite being the favourites, they could still be at risk. Crystal Palace have shown strong form in away matches and often secured wins or draws. This could tilt the odds in their favour. Their momentum is growing, and with team morale running high, they may pose a real threat in this matchup.
Who has a higher chance of winning?
Crystal Palace’s recent games are impressive, but Manchester City is still the likely winner of this matchup. Despite their injuries, the remaining players are also football elites who can hold the fort for the team. Their recent spotty performances may be a problem, but you cannot overlook the team’s efforts to win almost half of their EPL games.
Moreover, the upcoming game will take place at their home stadium, which gives them an advantage. Having won nine games and drawn three on their home turf, Man City will likely add another victory to either of those totals.
Stay tuned for the upcoming EPL match
The game between Man City and Palace on April 12 is an exciting matchup that you should watch. You might witness an underdog winning against a giant or observe the power of home-court advantage. Either team wins; this match is going to be a great watch.
