Man U vs. Crystal Palace Picks, Parlay
Leg 1: Crystal Palace to Win (+125)
Leg 2: Both Teams To Score – Yes (-164)
Just when things seem to be improving at Old Trafford, Monday night’s game reminded us of the deeply rooted problems at United. The Red Devils had an opportunity to climb the ranks, but failed to score against a 10-man Everton.
Creating chances will be even harder against the second-best defensive team in the league. Crystal Palace has allowed just 0.8 goals per game, a record second only to Arsenal’s 0.5.
Furthermore, Palace’s playstyle is almost United’s nemesis. Oliver Glasner’s team sits deep in its half and allows the third-highest PPDA (passes per defensive action).
As a result, we find value in backing Glasner’s team at Selhurst Park, especially considering home form. Palace remains undefeated in the last 12 Premier League home games, including in the previous three matches against United.
Against Everton, Manchester United squandered many opportunities, managing 1.71 expected goals without scoring. However, the Red Devils have netted two goals in their last three Premier League matches on the road, one of which was a 2-1 victory at Liverpool.
Our in-house model BETSiE believes there’s over a 55% chance that at least three goals will be scored.

Man U vs. Crystal Palace Betting Analysis
Crystal Palace are strong contenders for European competition qualification next season. The hosts are fifth in the table, just one point behind Aston Villa, as they prepare to face Manchester United on Sunday.
The Red Devils missed the chance to reach fourth place, having lost 1-0 at home to Everton. Oliver Glasner's team is among the most solid in the Premier League, boasting the second-best defence behind Arsenal.
It will be challenging for United to conquer Selhurst Park, where the hosts are unbeaten in 12 league matches.
Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim’s side has secured only one away win this season, a 2-1 victory at Liverpool. This leads bookmakers to fancy Palace for the win.
According to the latest Crystal Palace vs Manchester United odds, there is at least a 42% chance that the Eagles will claim all three points.
