MU vs Crystal Palace score prediction: Home team unlucky

With home advantage, the Red Devils are rated higher, but Crystal Palace have shown that they are not an easy opponent to bully. The history of the confrontation between the two teams is quite balanced in the last 5 meetings, when each side has 2 wins and 1 draw. Notably, Palace defeated MU with a score of 4-0 in May 2024, showing that this team is completely capable of creating a surprise.

MU entered this match in quite impressive form, having won 4/5 of their recent matches, including important matches against Fulham and Rangers. Under coach Ruben Amorim, the team is gradually finding stability with a sharp attack of Bruno Fernandes and Hojlund. However, the weakness in defense is still a big problem when MU once let Brighton score 3 goals, showing that they may have difficulty against an opponent who plays good counter-attacking defense like Crystal Palace.

On the other side of the front line, Crystal Palace is not far behind when winning 3 out of the last 5 matches, especially two impressive away victories against West Ham and Leicester. Under the leadership of coach Oliver Glasner, Palace has increasingly shown a pragmatic, disciplined and annoying playing style. Although the attack has not really exploded except for the brilliance of Eberechi Eze and Mateta, the team's ability to organize defense is enough to cause MU many difficulties.

With what the two teams have shown, this match could be tight and not have too many goals. MU has the home advantage and is in better form, but Crystal Palace is capable of winning points if they maintain solidity in defense. Based on the analysis of form and playing style, experts predict the score could be a narrow victory for MU with a score of 2-1 or a 1-1 draw if Palace takes advantage of the counter-attack opportunities. Can the Red Devils take advantage to win all 3 points or will Crystal Palace continue to surprise? Let's wait for an exciting match at Old Trafford.
