Tottenham return to Premier League action after a lengthy break on Saturday, as they face a must-win home match against Crystal Palace. Oliver Glasner’s reign got off to a winning start last time out, but the Eagles could find this task in North London tougher.
Premier League Preview
A huge match in the Premier League awaits Spurs this weekend, as their Champions League credentials will be tested when they come up against Crystal Palace. Spurs were beaten in their last home match in the competition by Wolves, and they saw their latest fixture postponed due to Chelsea’s involvement in the EFL Cup final.
The pressure will be on Tottenham this week, as they have dropped to fifth in the standings in recent weeks. Still, they have a solid chance of finishing in the top four this term, as they sit just five points off Aston Villa with a game in hand. Spurs come into this match after winning two of their last four. But, they have failed to win in three matches across their last five in the competition.
There is a fresh feel surrounding Crystal Palace at this stage of the season, as the Eagles have recently appointed formed Eintracht Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner. There was an immediate response following his appointment, as the Eagles landed a routine home success against Burnley last weekend.
That victory lifted Palace up to 13th in the standings, and there is now a comfortable cushion between themselves and the relegation spots. The Eagles could close the gap on the top half of the standings with a second straight win this weekend. However, Palace have recorded just three wins from 13 matches on the road this term.
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Head to Head
Tottenham have recorded victories in each of their last four matches against the Eagles in the Premier League. In fact, Palace have recorded just a single victory from their last 17 league encounters against Spurs. Their last away win at Tottenham was achieved in the FA Cup in 2016.
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction
This will be an interesting challenge for Tottenham this weekend against a Palace side that looked much-improved under Glasner last weekend. However, it looks hard to overlook the potential of a home win in North London on Saturday. But, we could see both teams finding the net.
