Crystal Palace vs Manchester United Prediction 30 November 2025
🔊 How will Manchester United's players respond to their defeat in the last round? Ruben Amorim's squad faced their first setback since early October and now risk another loss as they visit Crystal Palace. The "Eagles" are sitting in the top five of the Premier League standings and are determined to extend their unbeaten streak in the league to four matches. Judging by the odds, their chances of doing so are quite high.
Head-to-Head
📊 Manchester United have been unable to defeat Crystal Palace over the past two seasons. The Red Devils have lost 3 out of 4 matches during this period, and most surprisingly, they haven't managed to score against the Eagles even once.
Head-to-head statistics Crystal Palace - Manchester United
Crystal Palace Team Overview
Since the start of November, the Eagles have picked up a decent pace in accumulating points, remaining unbeaten in three consecutive Premier League fixtures. Impressively, Oliver Glasner's side hasn't conceded a single goal in these matches. They boast the second most reliable defense in the league, trailing only the remarkable Arsenal. However, it's worth noting that even the bottom-placed Wolverhampton (2-0) posed challenges for the Glaziers in the last round, managing an expected goals tally of 1.28.
Moreover, Crystal Palace's five-match unbeaten streak across all competitions came to an end this week. The trip to Strasbourg was anticipated to be challenging and lived up to expectations. Despite the Londoners taking the lead through Tyrick Mitchell, their opponents secured victory. Oliver Glasner doesn't rotate his squad much in the Conference League, yet his team sits only in 18th place, having suffered two losses in four rounds.

Manchester United Team Overview
Manchester United enjoyed their best run under Ruben Amorim, going unbeaten for five consecutive matches. It seemed like things were on the up, but that wasn't the case. In the last round, their successful streak was unexpectedly halted by David Moyes. The "Red Devils" hadn't lost to Everton at Old Trafford since 2013, yet they managed to do so in a rather inexplicable manner.
Despite gaining a numerical advantage as early as the 13th minute, by the half-hour mark, the Mancunians found themselves trailing. Typically strong in the first halves, Amorim's side failed to equalize either before or after the break. Throughout the match, they only managed to accumulate an expected goals tally of 1.86, highlighting their lack of creativity in positional attacks.

Latest news
Crystal Palace
🎙 Oliver Glasner at the pre-match press conference: "It's funny how sometimes we talk about the 3-4-3 formation, and I think both Manchester United and us have the highest expected goals in the Premier League. We both play the same system, so it seems like a good attacking setup! Moreover, as we've shown, it can also have a very solid defensive structure. I'm looking forward to the game against United. They're playing well, and I believe we are too. Despite the loss to Strasbourg, we're keeping our composure. We just need to find the right adjustments to adapt without training time."
❌ Due to injuries, Caleb Kpora, Chadi Riad, and Cheick Doucouré have been out of Crystal Palace's lineup for a while. According to Oliver Glasner, Borna Sosa will miss his second consecutive match due to injury, but Will Hughes, who was forced off against Strasbourg, is expected to be fit.
Manchester United
🎙 Ruben Amorim after the match against Everton: "They were the better side and deserved the win, and we need to do more. Let's forget the scoreline. The result is indeed poor, but what concerned me more was the feeling during the game. I'm genuinely upset, just like any Manchester United fan. I'm disappointed with how we started and our inability to adapt to playing against a team reduced to ten men. We had our moments, but the quality of execution and decision-making left much to be desired."
❌ Adding to Manchester's woes are their personnel issues. Lisandro Martinez is close to returning after a long recovery, yet he's still unable to support his partner Harry Maguire. The situation isn't much better in attack, where they're missing Benjamin Sesko. Matheus Cunha missed the last match and won't play in the upcoming one due to a head injury sustained in training.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Robert Jones, who will officiate the upcoming match, averages just three yellow cards per game in this Premier League season. Crystal Palace and Manchester United aren't known for their rough play, with both teams averaging fewer than two bookings per match. Considering this, we suggest a bet on under 4.5 yellow cards, a wager that has come through in 6 of the last 7 away games for the Red Devils.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Looking at the head-to-head stats and current form, it's unlikely we'll see a high-scoring affair. We lean towards a bet on under 3.5 goals, which has been successful in 12 of Crystal Palace's last 13 Premier League matches and in 6 of the last 7 encounters between the Eagles and the Red Devils.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Much like with yellow cards, today's opponents are far from league leaders in average corners, earning well below five per game. We're not anticipating an end-to-end attacking spectacle, so a bet on under 11.5 corners seems reasonable. This bet has also come through in 11 of Crystal Palace's last 12 matches.
Editorial Prediction
Manchester United travel to face a challenging opponent while not in their best form. Ruben Amorim's side is grappling with both tactical and personnel issues that won't be resolved overnight. Indeed, Crystal Palace will have limited recovery time following their European outing, but that's the only factor favoring the visitors.
We believe the "Eagles" have everything they need to extend their clean sheet streak in the Premier League to four matches and once again defeat the "Red Devils," keeping their goal untouched. Our editorial's predicted final score is 2-0, with the main bet being Manchester United's individual total under 1.5 goals. The Mancunians' attack appears too weak to expect a successful performance against one of the league's top defensive lines.
