Under-fire Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage could really do with a result when he takes his team to North London to face-off with Spurs on Saturday afternoon, writes JOE CITRONE.

SPURS v CRYSTAL PALACE PREVIEW

Spurs endured a difficult start to the season but have started to find their feet under Roberto De Zerbi. They will be keen to build on that progress and maintain their recent upturn in form after an impressive 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are enduring a miserable spell. A humiliating 5-0 defeat to rivals Brighton was followed by another setback last time out, as they slipped to a 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle.

WHERE’S THE BETTING VALUE IN TOTTENHAM v CRYSTAL PALACE?

Spurs should have the edge here, but they haven’t always been the most clinical in front of goal. I’m expecting a relatively tight, low-scoring affair, with the home side edging it.

I’m backing Spurs to win and under 2.5 goals at 31/10 with starsports.bet.
