Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Game Preview

Tottenham host Crystal Palace at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a Premier League London derby. This matchup pits a side finding its feet against one sliding toward real trouble.

Roberto De Zerbi's Spurs look in gear after a 2-0 win at Chelsea. That made it back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since August 2025.

Crystal Palace arrive hovering just above the relegation zone. Five defeats from their first eight Premier League outings have put Pierre Sage under serious pressure.

The head-to-head offers no edge. Tottenham and Palace have won three apiece in their previous meetings, with no ties, so this one comes down to current form. That favors Spurs.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Recent Results

Spurs sit 14th in the standings, but the trend is pointing up. They rank 6th on recent form, and Mathys Tel added an excellent goal last Saturday. The real engine is the attacking band, with Mohammed Kudus and Omar Marmoush supplying the individual quality that makes this attack the main reason to back Tottenham.

Palace's back line is the story, and not in a good way. They have conceded 19 Premier League goals, the most in the division. Worse, they have shipped at least two goals in 12 of their last 14 Premier League games. The win at Fulham in their previous London derby last month is the lone bright spot.

Tottenham

The big question in the Tottenham vs Crystal Palace lineups is James Maddison, who hobbled off against Chelsea with a muscle problem. Destiny Udogie (knee) is also a doubt, so Andy Robertson could keep his place at left back, while Pedro Porro is in line for his first start since mid-September after coming off the bench at Stamford Bridge. Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended, and Lucas Bergvall, Mykhailo Mudryk and Sávio miss out again.

Crystal Palace

Dean Henderson is set to make his first appearance since suffering an ankle injury in September, and he heads the probable XI in goal. Ismaïla Sarr remains doubtful with an ongoing groin problem. Quinten Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu will both miss out.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our Tottenham vs Crystal Palace prediction is a 3-1 Spurs win. Tottenham create through individual skill and like to control games in the opposition's half, and Palace are poor at stopping opponents from carving out looks. Palace do have a knack for coming back from losing positions, which is why we have them on the scoresheet, but this defense has been far too generous. The market agrees, with Spurs -138 (Polymarket) on the moneyline.

Best Picks

Ben Davies to have over 0.5 shots on target in the Player Shots On Target market. This shots-on-target prop leads our Tottenham vs Crystal Palace best picks on value. He is not in the probable XI, so minutes are the catch, but the price looks too generous for a prop that sits comfortably inside a Spurs-favored game with goals in it.

Jan Paul van Hecke to make over 2.5 tackles in the Player Tackles market. This sits in the Player Tackles market. Van Hecke is a near-fixture in the probable XI, and Palace like to attack through the middle and try through balls often, which drags center backs into duels. Even with Spurs controlling the ball, that leaves him plenty of defensive work, and the price undersells it.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Same Game Parlay

Our Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Same Game Parlay picks pair a Yéremy Pino card and four or more goals with Mohammed Kudus volume and an Omar Marmoush goal.

Yéremy Pino To Be Shown A Card: the Palace attacker has been carded 3 times across his last 4 Premier League outings. A side under pressure on the road tends to get reckless.

Over 3.5 on the Total Goals Over/Under line: there have been 4+ goals in 5 of Crystal Palace's last 7 Premier League games. Our projected scoreline gets there too.

Mohammed Kudus Over 1.5 Shots in the Player Shots market: he has attempted 2+ shots in every one of his last 4 Premier League appearances. Palace struggle defending long shots, which suits him.

Omar Marmoush in the Anytime Goalscorer market: he has scored in 2 of his last 3 outings against Crystal Palace in the Premier League. A defense this leaky should give him plenty of looks.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Talking Points

All the pressure is on the visiting bench. Pierre Sage kept the board's backing after back-to-back Premier League defeats to Brighton and Newcastle, but another heavy loss in a London derby would only sharpen the scrutiny. Roberto De Zerbi, meanwhile, credited a players' meeting and a Marbella training trip with lifting team unity, and the results have followed. Tactically, watch the flanks. Spurs like to attack down the right and play with width, and defending attacks down the wings is one of Palace's biggest weaknesses. If Palace sit deep, as they tend to, Tottenham's appetite for long-range shooting becomes a real weapon.
