Crystal Palace vs Tottenham: Preview and Prediction

Saturday 10th November 2018

England Premier League
Saturday 10th November 2018
Kick off at 5:30pm GMT
Venue: Selhurst Park

Match Preview:

The win less streak continues for Crystal Palace who have not won a game for almost 2 months. To be fair to Roy Hodgson’s side they have had some very difficult fixtures lately. Arsenal, Chelsea and now Tottenham. So far they have won 1 point when they drew 2-2 with Arsenal last time they were at home which stopped the Gunners achieving a personal best wins in a row record.

That draw was only their 2^nd point won at home and Palace have the worst home record in the league. Alongside Southampton they are the only Premier League team yet to win at home. And the 2 goals they scored against Arsenal are the only goals they have netted at home this season.

Tottenham come here with a spring in their step after potentially saving their Champions League hopes in midweek with a 2-1 win over PSV after being a goal down.

Apart from the 1-0 loss to Manchester City, Tottenham have been in excellent form and have won 4 of their last 5 games to put them in 4^th place and just 5 points adrift of league leaders City.

Tottenham have the best away record in the league with 6 wins from 7 played, with their only defeat coming against Watford. They are scoring on average 2 goals per game on the road, which is a fantastic record.
