Tottenham can absolutely beat Crystal Palace tonight; it’s a realistic possibility, though far from guaranteed, given their current struggles! We are 16th in the table, just four points clear of relegation, and the only team yet to win a Premier League game in 2026 (winless in their last 10 league matches overall.
Recent results have been poor, including a 2-1 loss at Fulham under new manager Igor Tudor, who’s lost his first two games in charge…
Attacking output has been abysmal this calendar year—they rank near the bottom in most metrics like goals, chances created, and possession losses.
Crystal Palace are in mid-table (around 14th), inconsistent but showing some recent signs of life (e.g., wins over weaker sides like Wolves, but losses to stronger teams like Man United). They’ve been winless in stretches, too, but appear slightly more stable than Spurs right now.
Head-to-Head and Key Factors
Spurs won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Selhurst Park on December 28, 2025. Historically, they’ve dominated recent meetings (winning 6 of the last 8 league games against Palace).
Home advantage helps: Spurs have a strong March home record in the Premier League historically only one loss in their last 17 such games, but the current vibe is pessimistic—many previews call Spurs “impossible to fancy” or highlight their winless run as potentially record-setting.
Predictions and Odds
Bookmakers make Spurs slight favourites at home (around 5/4 or +140 to win), with Palace at 7/4 (+200ish) and a draw around 2/1.
Expert takes are mixed: Some (e.g., Sports Mole, Chris Sutton on BBC) lean toward a narrow Spurs win (2-1), banking on them finally clicking against a familiar opponent.
Others favour Palace or a draw, citing Spurs’ ongoing crisis and poor 2026 form.
In short: Spurs can win—they have the home crowd, historical edge over Palace, and massive motivation to snap the streak and ease relegation pressure. A victory tonight could be a huge turning point, but based on recent performances, it’s a tough ask, and many see an upset or stalemate as equally likely.
