Prediction for the upcoming match: Can Palace continue to cause surprises?
United are aiming for a fourth consecutive win in all competitions when they host Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on February 2. Under coach Ruben Amorim, United have made positive progress, especially in the Europa League. However, in the Premier League, they have not shown stability and are ranked 12th.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace, although not able to maintain the same form as at the end of last season, are still a tough team to play against. They defeated MU 4-0 and also have a good defensive record away from home, conceding only 11 goals.
With a balanced history and current form, the upcoming match promises to be extremely attractive. Can MU take advantage of home field to win all 3 points, or will Crystal Palace once again create a surprise?
