Premier League Quick Preview: Tottenham Vs Crystal Palace
Both of these sides arrive at this one in very different moods - Spurs just discovering what winning feels like, while Palace are still searching for any kind of consistency.
Check out our BetBuilderAI predictions for Tottenham Vs Crystal Palace this weekend.
Tottenham sit 14th on nine points, after flipping their season in the last fortnight - their only two wins of the campaign have come in their last two matches, a 3-1 win over Coventry followed by a 2-0 win away at Chelsea.
Crystal Palace are down in 17th on seven points, without a win in their last two games, both ending in defeat - a 5-0 loss at Brighton followed by a 2-0 home defeat to Newcastle last time out.
Roberto De Zerbi's in-form side are favourites on UK betting sites to add to Palace's woes.
Spurs Keep Winning Corners
Tottenham have won 4+ corners in each of their last seven league games, a consistent source of territory even during their winless spell.
Crystal Palace’s defensive numbers paint an even starker picture - they’ve conceded 10+ shots in every single league game this season, a pattern that’s shown no sign of easing.
Palace have also conceded 3+ corners in all eight of their games, adding sustained set-piece pressure to the shot-count problem.
Discipline Picture
Tottenham’s opponents have picked up 2+ cards in each of their previous seven league outings - both they and Chelsea received 3 cards each last week as well as a red card to Chelsea's Cole Palmer.
Palace, for their part, have drawn 10+ fouls from opponents in five straight games - one of the few positive trends in an otherwise difficult run of form.
It's 6/4 on betting apps for both teams to receive 2+ cards at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham seem to have turned the corner under De Zerbi, but defeat to the Eagles will see the doom and gloom return to that part of north London.
Palace manager Pierre Sage is being tipped as the next Premier League manager to be sacked, and a loss in the Saturday tea-time game will increase the pressure on the Frenchman.
The Eagles won the corresponding fixture 3-1 last season after Spurs were reduced to 10 men following Micky van de Ven's dismissal with his side leading 1-0 at the time.
If you have a free bet to use, why not try it on both teams to score and over 2.5 total goals.
