Manchester City comes back from Belgrade with a win and wants to post another one, this time at home against Crystal Palace.

Before Betting on Manchester City vs. Crystal Palace

The Citizens defeated Red Star, 2-3, without numerous starters, which was their second win in a row. Prior to this event, they were better than Luton on the road as well, 1-2. The interesting thing is that City allowed at least one goal in the previous seven meetings, and that’s something strange.

Though, that didn’t hurt the champs, who lost only one game during that span, posting three wins and three ties along the way. Six of those seven meetings were with both teams netting, and overall, the efficiency at Man City’s games has been high, with eight in the last ten ending with over 2.5 hits. 

Palace is in a bad spot, as it tries to get out of the crisis. The Eagles have been without a victory for the past five games, losing four and having just one triumph in nine recent events. Now, that’s a problematic situation for the team from Selhurst.

It seems that playing away from home benefits Roy Hodgson’s crew. They won twice in the past five outings, having two losses and one draw. We are talking about the Premiership meetings here. What’s the reason for that? We aren’t sure, but our guess is that they perform better in situations in which they defend than in those in which they need to take the initiative.

The Citizens are slowly recovering after losing to Aston Villa, and the triumph against Palace would be a perfect momentum-maker ahead of a very challenging schedule. The Eagles are better on the road than at home, but Etihad is something completely different.
