Top 2 Man United vs Crystal Palace Bets for Feb 2

1. United vs Palace to Draw (+250)

After a bumpy start to the Ruben Amorim era, it seems that Manchester United are finally finding their momentum under their new Portuguese coach. Ever since edging Arsenal on penalties in the FA Cup, United have won four of their last five matches in all competitions.

The Red Devils third in the UEFA Europa League league phase and booked their ticket for the knockout round whilst they also sit 12th in the Premier League table – two points above 13th-placed Crystal Palace.

Palace have emerged as United’s bogey team, keeping a clean sheet in their last three meetings and winning two of them, per Manchester United vs Crystal Palace stats. And whilst their six-match unbeaten streak came to an end last weekend against Brentford, they nevertheless have managed to brush off a poor start and find their footing under Oliver Glasner.

The Eagles have proven a tough nut to crack on their travels, winning four, drawing four and losing three away from home. They’ve conceded just 30 goals this season, bettered only by Everton, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Arsenal.

In contrast to United, who will have just three days to recover from their trip to Romania, Palace will have had an entire week to prepare for their upcoming match. This could very well be a slow-burner and an even-keeled match-up at Old Trafford. We’re backing the draw in our Premier League betting predictions.

Another parlay addition that’s worth your consideration is Under 4.5 bookings. Each of Palace’s last five matches have featured under 4.5 bookings whilst four of United’s last five matches have featured under 4.5 cards. Furthermore, five of their last seven encounters have seen under 4.5 cards, and we’re expecting that EPL betting trend to continue.

2. Both Teams to Score (-150)

Even without dynamic playmaker Eberechi Eze, Crystal Palace still have plenty of tools in their arsenal and should be able to grab at least one goal in Manchester. They’ve scored in 13 of their last 14 matches, and they’ve also won four of their last six.

Jean-Philippe Mateta has proven vital with four goals in his last four league matches, and he’ll be vital for a Palace side that is looking to find the back of the net for the seventh straight match. Keep him in mind for soccer player prop picks.

As for United, Amorim’s tactical tweaks have started to pay dividends, enabling Kobbie Mainoo the freedom to pick up spaces in the final third and thrive in the final third. With Bruno Fernandes pulling the strings from a deep-lying playmaker role, and Amad Diallo running his opponent ragged with his elusive dribbling skills, United should have more than enough attacking firepower to find the back of the net for an eighth straight match.

We’re backing both teams to score in our soccer best bets.
