Crystal Palace vs. Man City: Premier League Predictions, Odds, and Betting Tips

Enzo Maresca aims to extend his winning run with Manchester City when they travel to Selhurst Park for the second week of the Premier League season. This match also marks Pierre Sage's first home game leading Crystal Palace.

City’s recent victory at the Etihad against Bournemouth came from two late goals by defenders, showcasing resilience despite a less convincing display. Maresca’s team is still adjusting after Pep Guardiola's departure, and with transfer business ongoing, their full potential remains uncertain.

Match Outlook

This could be an ideal moment to face City while they settle into Maresca’s system. Bournemouth nearly pulled off a surprise win at the Etihad, so Palace should be motivated to make an impact, especially following their opening day defeat. A night fixture at Selhurst Park is traditionally tough, and Sage might secure his first point in charge in memorable fashion.

  • Predicted Score: Crystal Palace 1, Manchester City 1 (+750 with bet365)

Top Betting Picks for Crystal Palace vs. Man City

  • Both Teams to Score (-145 with DraftKings): With a predicted 1-1 draw, this bet makes sense. City won 3-0 both home and away last season, but the current upheaval in their squad, especially midfield losses like Rodri and Bernardo Silva, opens chances for Palace to find the net. Marc Guehi’s presence in defense adds intrigue.
  • Draw (+128 with FanDuel): Palace have proven difficult to break down, highlighted by their shock FA Cup final win over City in May 2025. The passionate home crowd could help produce a tight, tense encounter in South London.
  • Erling Haaland to Score Anytime (-110 with DraftKings): Haaland cut his trademark blonde hair before the season started and missed scoring on the opening day, breaking his streak. Still, he’s known for explosive August form, having netted 22 goals in 15 matches in previous first months. If City score, Haaland is likely involved.
