Crystal Palace

Manchester United will host Crystal Palace at home on matchday 28 of the Premier League. Last time, the Red Devils won 2:1 in a difficult match. I think the result will be repeated now. Things have improved a lot for United over the last month and a half. Michael Carrick, who replaced Rubén Amorim as head coach, has played an important role in this change. Under the new coach, the club has never lost: five wins and one draw. In addition, during this period, the “red devils” have defeated their main rivals: Arsenal (3-2) and Manchester City (2-0).

Manchester United current form

Manchester United has not only risen in the standings, but is already fighting for access to the Champions League, occupying fourth place with 48 points. They are three points ahead of their closest pursuers and have the same gap with third place Aston Villa. In their last five games, United have shown a solid performance:

02/23/26: Everton 0 – 1 Manchester United
02/10/26: West Ham 1 – 1 Manchester United
02/07/26: Manchester United 2 – 0 Tottenham
02/01/26: Manchester United 3 – 2 Fulham
01/25/26: Arsenal 2 – 3 Manchester United

Crystal Palace performance

On the other hand, Crystal Palace, which has also aspired to qualify for European competitions, is now trying to avoid falling into the relegation zone. Oliver Glasner has already announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season. The management did not expect much success from the team that won the FA Cup and the Super Cup at the end of last season. Most of the top players have burned out in the last six months. Palace currently sit in 13th place with 35 points, maintaining a comfortable ten-point lead over the relegation zone.

Crystal Palace's latest matches

The Eagles haven't had many wins lately, with just three wins since mid-December. In addition, Crystal Palace also plays in the Conference League, where they reached the Zrinjski Mostar playoffs (1-1 and 2-0) with some problems. His last games are:

02/26/26: Crystal Palace 2 – 0 Zrinjski
02/22/26: Crystal Palace 1 – 0 Wolverhampton
02/19/26: Zrinjski 1 – 1 Crystal Palace
02/11/26: Crystal Palace 2 – 3 Burnley
02/08/26: Brighton 0 – 1 Crystal Palace

Betting Analysis

Manchester United are missing out on European competition this season, giving them a full week to prepare. I think this is another argument in favor of the “Red Devils”: I bet on their victory with a handicap goal (-1) for 1.87. This type of bet is safe, considering the team's current form and its performance at home.
