Match analysis: Tottenham vs Crystal Palace

90-minute handicap: 0 : 1/4

Total goals: 2 1/2

Tottenham enter this London derby against Crystal Palace in a state of concerning form. Under manager Igor Tudor, the team is on a run of 10 consecutive Premier League matches without a win, their worst such streak since 1994. A 1-2 defeat to Fulham in the last round has further increased the pressure on the hosts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In 2026, Spurs have yet to secure a single victory in England's top flight.

Not only are the results poor, but Tottenham's play lacks stability across all three lines. The defense frequently makes mistakes, while the midfield and attack have failed to establish a necessary connection. However, Spurs do have some bright spots, particularly in their goal-scoring. Richarlison is currently the team's top scorer this season with 7 goals, while the young talent Mathys Tel has also made a positive impact whenever given the opportunity.

Home statistics for Tottenham also reveal several issues. After 27 rounds, they have scored only 17 goals at home, accounting for 46% of their total goals this season, while conceding 22 times. On average, Spurs score 1.21 goals but concede 1.57 goals per match at their home ground, a modest figure for a team with Premier League ambitions.

On the other side, Crystal Palace is also not having a spectacular season, but their recent form has been more stable. Under manager Oliver Glasner, the team has won 3 of their last 6 matches across all competitions and performed quite well in the UEFA Conference League. In the Premier League, Palace currently sits in 14th place and is not under significant pressure in the relegation battle.

Crystal Palace's strength this season lies in their defensive solidity when playing away. They have conceded only 14 goals in 27 away matches, ranking second in the league for fewest goals conceded on the road. However, Palace's attack is not particularly sharp, having scored just 29 goals in 27 rounds, placing them among the lowest-scoring teams in the league.

Recent head-to-head history is fairly balanced, with Tottenham winning 3 and Crystal Palace winning 2 of the last 5 meetings. However, Spurs hold a clear advantage at home, having won 8 of the last 9 times they have hosted Palace in the Premier League. With the visitors missing their important center-back Maxence Lacroix due to suspension, Tottenham might be able to seize the opportunity to end their disappointing run.
