Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction 11 May 2025
🔊 Can Tottenham shift their focus back to the Premier League? Lately, they've struggled with this transition, as their efforts have been heavily concentrated on the Europa League. It's in that competition where they are vying for a trophy and a ticket to European competitions next season. Crystal Palace are a mid-table side, yet they're also in the hunt for some silverware this season. Thus, this London derby could be quite unpredictable. We'll explore various angles to provide an insightful prediction. It's worth noting that the match will take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the course of 33 head-to-head matches, Tottenham hold the upper hand with a 61% win rate. They had won five consecutive meetings before this season. In the first round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace edged out a narrow victory at Selhurst Park (1-0). Despite having less possession, the Eagles created slightly more scoring opportunities. They managed at least six shots on target, one of which Guglielmo Vicario couldn't stop.
Crystal Palace also struggle to score in away fixtures against Tottenham. In 17 matches at Tottenham's ground, they have never scored more than one goal. Thus, a potential betting angle could be under 1.5 goals for the visitors.
Head-to-head statistics Tottenham - Crystal Palace
Tottenham Hotspur Team Overview
⚪ Tottenham have seemingly lost their motivation in the Premier League, managing just one win against Southampton in their last nine outings. This lack of drive somewhat undermines the English league, which is widely regarded as Europe's strongest. However, it's not that the team fails to create opportunities up front. They do score in nearly every match but concede far more. In their last game, Spurs allowed West Ham to score once, despite facing numerous threats on their goal (1-1). Consequently, Tottenham have slipped to 16th in the standings, marking this season as a disappointment regardless.
🔗 Yet, the club still has a shot at winning the Europa League, which holds significant value both in terms of reputation and finances. In this competition, the team displays noticeably more determination. On Thursday, they advanced past Bodo/Glimt, netting two unanswered goals to double their advantage over the two-legged tie.

Crystal Palace Team Overview
🔵 Crystal Palace have made significant strides this season. Currently, they sit mid-table in the Premier League at 12th place. However, they haven't secured a win in their last five matches. Still, the Eagles can certainly take pride in their 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
🔗 Last week, Crystal Palace managed to snatch a point from Nottingham Forest (1-1), who are in the hunt for a Champions League spot. Despite only scoring from a penalty, they fired 20 shots on goal and created numerous scoring opportunities.
🏆 Most notably, Crystal Palace have reached the FA Cup final. They broke their streak of less-than-stellar performances with a commanding display in the semi-final against Aston Villa, scoring three unanswered goals. They could have won by an even larger margin. Up next is Manchester City, so their chances for silverware aren't high, but the Eagles can certainly rise to the occasion for a single match.

Latest news
Tottenham Hotspur
📣 Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou expressed his satisfaction with their Europa League victory: "I'm very proud of the team. We knew it would be a tough away game, considering both the pitch and their record here. We deserved the win and are eagerly looking forward to the final."
📝 Reports suggest that Tottenham's management dreams of bringing in Roberto De Zerbi. However, the Italian is keen to stay at Marseille to play in the Champions League. If Spurs win the Europa League and secure a spot in De Zerbi's desired tournament, negotiations could become a reality. It's worth noting that Fulham's Marco Silva remains the leading candidate to succeed Ange Postecoglou.
❌ Radu Drăgușin will not feature in the upcoming match, having been sidelined for a while due to a cruciate ligament rupture. Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison have each missed 2-3 games and will not return this season. However, Heung-Min Son is expected to make a comeback after missing a month, though his participation in the upcoming fixture remains uncertain.
Crystal Palace
📣 Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson expressed his dissatisfaction with the draw against Nottingham Forest: "I believe we did enough to win the match. We were proactive, aggressive, and created plenty of chances... It's tough because they don't give you much room in the box for shots, and they defend so well with a low block. They did it again today."
❌ Cheick Doucouré and Chadi Riad will miss the upcoming match due to long-term injuries. Adam Wharton picked up an injury during the game against Nottingham Forest and was substituted in the second half. The midfielder's participation against Tottenham is doubtful.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The head referee for the match is Chris Kavanagh, who has officiated 23 Premier League games this season. On average, he hands out 4.61 yellow cards per match. However, it's worth noting that the Aston Villa vs Bournemouth game saw 13 cautions. In his last four matches, Kavanagh has shown fewer than four yellow cards.
Tottenham, on average, receive two yellow cards per game this season. Recently, the "Spurs" have been criticized for lacking aggression, resulting in no more than one caution in their last five home games. Considering Chris Kavanagh's recent tendency to be lenient, it might be worth betting on Tottenham's total yellow cards to be under 1.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Tottenham are in high spirits after reaching the Europa League final, which could boost their Premier League performance, especially at home. In 6 of their last 7 home head-to-head encounters, they have scored at least two goals. However, this doesn't guarantee victory. Therefore, we suggest betting on Tottenham's total goals to be over 1.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, Tottenham have a clear advantage in corners, averaging 6.7 compared to 4.7. They have won the corner count in 5 of their last 6 Premier League matches, with their only loss coming against a highly motivated Liverpool side aiming for an early title clinch. Thus, betting on Tottenham to win the corner count makes sense.
Editorial Prediction
It's high time for Tottenham to get their act together and deliver results in the Premier League. Just one victory in the spring stretch of the season is a disaster. Postecoglou's squad needs to approach the Europa League final in good spirits. Our bet is on Tottenham's individual total over 1.5 goals.
