On Sunday lunchtime, relegation-threatened Crystal Palace host Tottenham at Selhurst Park, in a game that could have big implications at both ends of the Premier League table.
The home side are winless in four Premier League games, which has contributed to the Eagles sitting just a point above the relegation zone in the English top-flight. Last time out the Eagles suffered a 3-1 defeat at Everton.
It is interesting to note that both teams have scored in five of Palace’s last six games in the top-flight, including their last four outings. The Eagles have also kept just one clean sheet in their last six league outings.
Palace have been hard to beat at Selhurst Park of late in the league, as the Eagles have lost just one of their last ten league games on home soil. However, Roy Hodgson’s side have drawn five of those ten games at home.
Tottenham are unbeaten in nine games in the top-flight and are just a point behind fourth-place Chelsea in the fight for the Champions League spots.
Last time out in the league, Spurs recorded a 1-0 victory over arch-rivals Arsenal in the north London derby. Their recent top-flight games have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven games in the Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino’s team are unbeaten in their last four away outings in the top-flight. The north London side have also scored two or more goals in three of their last four away games in the Premier League. However, at the other end of the pitch, Spurs have kept just two clean sheets in their last nine away games in the league.
Forebet predicts that Tottenham will record a victory at Selhurst Park in a low scoring encounter.
