Crystal Palace remains in the relegation zone and is still searching for their first win of the season. The team is struggling significantly with their attacking performance, as Eberechi Eze and his teammates have consistently failed to convert chances.
Additionally, Jean-Philippe Mateta, the team’s top scorer from last season, is still not in optimal physical condition. Consequently, Palace has five fewer goals than expected based on their xG (expected goals) statistics.
Last season, Crystal Palace ranked among the top five teams for both actual and expected goals conceded. However, this trend has changed dramatically this season. The departure of Joachim Andersen has had a severely negative impact on their central defense, while the absence of Michael Olise has further hampered their pressing game.
Oliver Glasner’s team generally plays with less intensity and is less organized defensively, which is why they concede goals in nearly every match.
Additionally, the Eagles struggle to score, leading to a low level of confidence. The team needs to improve its efficiency to regain the aggressiveness they displayed at the end of last season.
Tottenham Hotspur have lost all three matches against teams in the top ten of the league table. However, they have been relatively successful against opponents from the bottom half of the table.
After a narrow away defeat to Brighton (2-3), Spurs confidently defeated West Ham at home, securing a confident 4-1 victory.
Overall, under coach Ange Postecoglou, the team tends to perform better in home matches, while they have achieved only one victory in four away games, which was against Manchester United. The London club lost to Newcastle and Brighton and drew with Leicester.
Tottenham is currently lagging four points behind the Champions League zone, so a victory in their next match is essential. One recurring issue for the team this season has been maintaining intensity for the full 90 minutes, with their dynamic play often fading after one half. This inconsistency has cost them in several games, though the underlying cause remains unclear.
The main challenges for the London club arise during periods when they stop playing dynamically and fail to press effectively. This allows their opponents to seize the initiative and exploit gaps in Tottenham’s high defensive line.
Fortunately for Postecoglou, he has all his key players available for selection. Unlike Arsenal and Aston Villa, Tottenham can afford to rotate their squad in the Europa League to conserve energy for the Premier League.
Bet hereTottenham Hotspur has consistently registered more shots on goal than their opponents in every match of the current Premier League season.
This is due to Postecoglou’s attacking style of play, which allows the team to dominate certain periods of the game. In the upcoming match against Crystal Palace, the visitors are likely to have a higher number of shots, especially given the home team’s defensive organization issues.
Brennan Johnson has scored seven goals in his last eight matches across all competitions and he is one of Tottenham’s top attacking players this season. He not only excels at making fast runs with the ball, but also effectively delivers crosses and finishes attacks well, skillfully positioning himself for shots in the penalty area.
Johnson has significantly improved over the past two seasons and, under Postecoglou’s guidance, has become one of the most dangerous forwards in the Premier League.
Given his recent performances, we can confidently expect him to have at least one shot on target in this match, especially since he has consistently managed to do so in previous games.
