England Premier League: Manchester City vs Crystal Palace 13/05/2026

Betting on both teams to score

This postponed fixture is a must win for the home side if they want to continue putting pressure on Arsenal in the title race.

Manchester City are making a huge push for the championship, they are in good form and this is a match they simply have to win. Offensively they remain extremely creative with many attacking solutions, but defensively they have shown several weaknesses in certain matches and that could eventually cost them the title. Even when fully focused, they consistently allow chances to opponents, especially at home.

Crystal Palace are enjoying a remarkable season and will also play in the Conference League final, which has now become their main objective in the final stretch of the campaign. They still need to stay competitive and sharp before that final and this demanding fixture will help them test themselves. Palace are a team that score easily this season, but they also leave many spaces defensively, with six goal/goal results in their last eight matches.

The recent meetings at the Etihad usually produce open games with many goals and victories for the home side. I expect something similar again here.

The odds on both teams to score look attractive and are worth backing, possibly even combined with the home win.
