Our betting tips for Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
- Tottenham to win (Tip 1) — odds 1.58
Tottenham are our preferred outcome in this London derby. Their league position is not yet where they will want it to be, but they have the stronger points total and arrive after a convincing 2-0 away win over Chelsea. Palace’s overall defensive record is a concern: they have conceded 19 goals in eight league matches. The home side have not been especially reliable at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, so this is not a risk-free selection; nevertheless, the available form and Palace’s defensive vulnerability make the home win our main betting tip. - Both teams to score — Yes, odds 1.70
This is a reasonable secondary sports betting tip, even with Tottenham favoured to take all three points. Palace have scored nine league goals, more than Tottenham’s eight, and their recent 1-0 win away to Fulham shows they can find a way to produce a result on the road. Tottenham have also conceded ten league goals, while Palace’s matches have featured plenty of goals at the other end. A Tottenham victory with both sides scoring is a plausible scenario for today’s football prediction.
For football bets today, the home win is the clearest choice, while “Both teams to score: Yes” offers a complementary angle. Odds can move before kick-off, so check the latest prices and bet responsibly.

Tottenham Hotspur performance check
Tottenham have collected nine points from eight league matches, leaving them 14th in the table ahead of this fixture. Their record stands at two wins, three draws and three defeats, with eight goals scored and ten conceded. That balance suggests a side still searching for consistency, although their latest result gives them a timely lift: they beat Chelsea 2-0 away from home in the Premier League.
Their last five matches across all competitions have brought two wins, one draw and two losses. The recent sequence is mixed, but the Chelsea result is particularly encouraging because it combined a clean sheet with an effective attacking display. Tottenham will hope to carry that confidence into their home ground, where results have so far been less convincing. They have one win, one draw and two defeats in four league home games.
Roberto De Zerbi will want his team to build on the strong away performance and make better use of home advantage. Tottenham have scored only eight league goals, so improving their attacking output is an obvious priority. Against a Palace side that has conceded frequently, this could be a good opportunity to create chances, but the hosts will need to remain alert to counterattacks.
Crystal Palace’s current form and outlook
Crystal Palace arrive in 17th place with seven points from eight Premier League matches. They have won twice, drawn once and lost five times, scoring nine goals and conceding 19. Their defensive numbers are the most worrying feature of that record: Palace have allowed more than two goals per game on average, leaving little room for error when their attack does not deliver.
The Eagles’ last five matches in all competitions have produced one win, one draw and three defeats. Their most recent result overall was a 1-0 away victory against Fulham, a useful boost before this trip to north London. In their latest Premier League fixture, however, they lost 2-0 at home to Newcastle United. Those contrasting results underline the challenge facing Pierre Sage’s side as they try to turn an isolated positive into a more dependable run.
Palace’s away league record is one win, one draw and two defeats, which is identical to Tottenham’s home record in terms of outcomes. They have shown they can take points on their travels, and their nine league goals suggest they have enough attacking threat to trouble Tottenham. But Sage will need a more disciplined defensive performance if Palace are to avoid being exposed by the hosts.
The last direct duels
The recent head-to-head record gives Crystal Palace a slight edge. Across the last five meetings in all competitions, Tottenham have won twice, while Palace have won three times; there have been no draws. The most recent meeting ended 3-1 to Crystal Palace away from home, and that was also the latest Premier League encounter between the clubs.
That result is a reminder that Palace can cause Tottenham serious problems, even when playing away. Still, head-to-head records provide context rather than a guarantee of what will happen next. Tottenham’s latest win over Chelsea and Palace’s defensive struggles this season make the current circumstances different from those of their previous meeting.
Match prediction and final verdict
Tottenham have the stronger league position, a more favourable overall points return and the confidence of a 2-0 win at Chelsea. Palace have demonstrated that they can win away, and their previous success in this fixture means the hosts should not take them lightly. The visitors’ 19 goals conceded, however, stand out as a key weakness that Tottenham can look to exploit.
Our prediction is a Tottenham home win, with both teams to score also worth considering. The hosts have not been dominant at home, so Palace may find opportunities, but Tottenham’s recent performance and the visitors’ defensive record tilt the balance towards the home side.
