Manchester United take on the visitors Crystal Palace in the round 22 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 4th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United failed completely last season. And they actually reacted to this last spring, when they broke with Rangnik and announced the arrival of ten Hag at Old Trafford. Eric, it must be admitted, did not start in the best way. But the task was clear: not lower than 4th place in order to return to the Champions League. And then the difficult relationship of the new manager with Ronaldo ended in a contract break. It is clear that quite a few fans of Cristiano after this were waiting for the Dutchman to misfire. But in general, the Red Devils show themselves very worthy in winter. Yes, they missed the victory over Crystal Palace – but there the return goal came from a free-kick made in added minutes. Yes, and this happened immediately after the victorious derby with City. And they lost only to Arsenal, and then in a shootout, the Gunners won 3-2 in the end, due to Saka’s double. It is worth remembering that after the resumption of the season, in 40 days, we have already played 12 matches - it took a lot of effort.

Crystal Palace in 2021 went to rejuvenate both the squad and the coach, when Hodgson was replaced by Vieira. Just like in the previous club, Nice, Patrick's 2nd year in office is clearly worse. It cannot be said that the Eagles fail completely, but the statistics of the London team is not impressive, especially in the winter period. Here and the defeat in the cup – at home, against failing in the Premier League, Southampton. And failures in the championship, where Crystal Palace was able to win only 1 match out of 6 – against Bournemouth, a newcomer and outsider of the current draw. However, the calendar in the Premier League was also quite difficult: we lost to the powerfully playing Fulham, Tottenham and Chelsea, and in the last rounds we even managed to snatch a draw from Manchester United and to keep 0-0 with Newcastle. However, the calendar in February for the capital club looks, by and large, no easier.
The recent draw should not be surprising. In 9 last head-to-head fights between each other, there were all possible outcomes 3 times: 3 wins for both and the same number of draws. Bookmakers believe that ten Hag will not allow his team to miss points against modest opponent. We bet that in this match the Red Devils will be able to win with a handicap of -1 goal.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win with -1.0 handicap.
