Tottenham vs Crystal Palace: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Tottenham host Crystal Palace at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, October 31 (1:30 PM ET / 12:30 PM CT / 10:30 AM PT).

Tottenham will again be without the injured Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Mykhailo Mudryk, with suspended Rodrigo Bentancur and the injured Lucas Bergvall and Savio Moreira de Oliveira also missing, while doubtful Destiny Udogie, Oluwatosin Adarabioyo and James Maddison are further fitness concerns to track. Omar Marmoush carries the main attacking threat up top, with 12 shots and 4 shots on target in 517 minutes this season for a single goal so far, while defender Jan Paul van Hecke offers a different route to goal, with 1 goal from 7 chances created in 720 minutes and a clear threat at set pieces. Crystal Palace, for their part, are missing the injured Chadi Riad Dnanou, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Quinten Timber, with doubtful Dean Henderson and Jorgen Strand Larsen the fitness notes on the other side; Tyrick Mitchell, who leads the visitors with 2 goals and 5 chances created in 601 minutes, and Daichi Kamada, who has created 7 chances and added 3 assists in 613 minutes, carry most of Palace’s attacking threat into Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham have won back-to-back matches — 2-0 at Chelsea and 3-1 at home to Coventry City — but a defense that has shipped enough to leave them with a -2 goal difference from 8 league games points to a tighter test here. Crystal Palace, fresh off a 5-0 defeat at Brighton, carry a far heavier -8 goal difference into London, and although Mitchell and Kamada supply useful end product for the visitors, Palace’s leaky record makes a repeat avalanche of goals unlikely. This looks like a tight, low-scoring afternoon at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, settled by a set piece or a single moment of quality rather than a string of clear-cut chances.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction

The numbers point to a tight 1-0 win for Tottenham, with the extra edge from set pieces and in the final third enough to break down a Palace side carrying a -8 goal difference from 7 games. With Tottenham’s own -2 mark from 8 games showing they are no great shakes in front of goal either, Under 2.5 Goals and No in the Both Teams to Score market both look well-supported, with Marmoush the pick to get on the scoresheet.
