Recent form
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing resilience in cup competitions but struggling in the Premier League. They are currently 16th in the league table with only 2 points from 4 games, highlighting their difficulties in the top flight. However, their last 6 games across all competitions show a more balanced record of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses. The team has been involved in several high-scoring matches, with 67% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals. A standout result was their impressive 4-0 victory over Norwich in the League Cup, which also represents their only clean sheet in this period. Despite their low league position, Palace has been relatively prolific in front of goal, scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game, but their defensive record of conceding 1.33 goals per game suggests room for improvement at the back.
Manchester United
Manchester United's recent form shows a mix of impressive victories and concerning defeats. The standout result is their 7-0 thrashing of Barnsley in the League Cup, which significantly boosted their goal-scoring statistics. Their last six games include three wins, two losses, and a draw, with a notable 3-0 away victory against Southampton. However, their league position (10th) suggests inconsistency, further evidenced by back-to-back losses against Liverpool and Brighton. Defensively, United have been solid in half of their recent matches, keeping three clean sheets. The team's attacking prowess is highlighted by their average of 2.17 goals scored per game, while their defensive record of conceding only one goal per game is respectable. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs are becoming a trend for the Red Devils.

Recent home/away form
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with no clear winning or losing streaks evident. Their last six home games have yielded two wins, three draws, and one loss, showcasing a degree of resilience at home. The standout performance was a convincing 4-0 victory over Norwich in the League Cup, which also represents their highest-scoring game in this period. Despite their current 16th position in the league, Palace's goal-scoring record at home is relatively strong, averaging 1.83 goals per game. However, they've struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in these six matches. The team's ability to score and concede has led to entertaining matches, with both teams scoring in 67% of the games and an even split between high-scoring (over 2.5 goals) and low-scoring (under 2.5 goals) encounters.
Manchester United
Manchester United's recent away form shows inconsistency, with a pattern of alternating results in their last six matches (LWLDLW). The team has struggled to maintain a winning streak, securing only two victories in this period. Their most recent away game was an impressive 3-0 win against Southampton, which stands out as their highest-scoring match and one of two clean sheets in the sequence. Despite conceding goals in most games, their defensive record is relatively stable, allowing an average of one goal per game.
