Predict the result of the match Man Utd - Crystal Palace

Man Utd vs Crystal Palace Prediction

The pressure on coach Ruben Amorim has eased recently. Man Utd have improved their performance, despite many problems in their playing style. "The Red Devils have suffered only 1 defeat and won 4 of their last 7 matches.

Man Utd have just gone 2 consecutive matches without conceding a goal. Their opponents are not strong in scoring ability but it cannot be denied that the defenders and goalkeeper of the Old Trafford team have limited fatal mistakes.

The more worrying issue for Man Utd lies in the attack when coach Ruben Amorim does not have many reliable options. If Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo are caught out, the "Red Devils" lack options to create breakthroughs.

Crystal Palace are capable of keeping Man Utd at bay. They are one of the best defensive sides in the league away from home. No Premier League team has conceded fewer goals away from home than Crystal Palace this season (11).

In the last 10 rounds, Crystal Palace has only suffered 2 defeats. In the away matches in the Premier League alone, this team has a streak of 7 consecutive matches without losing and kept a clean sheet 4 times in the last 5 matches.

Expected lineup

Man Utd's injured players are returning one by one, most recently Luke Shaw can join the training with his teammates. The "Red Devils" are only missing Jonny Evans and Mason Mount - unimportant players in the squad.

Crystal Palace have no major injuries. However, the visitors are unlikely to use Adam Wharton as he is expected to get back to full fitness after a long layoff.

Man Utd: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Mazraoui; Diallo, Mainoo; Zirkzee.

Crystal Palace: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Hughes, Lerma, Mitchell; Esse, Eze; Mateta.
