Crystal Palace managed to end a losing run of two successive league games by bagging a 2-0 win over Bournemouth in the year-end game. The perfect action by Jordan Ayew and Eberechi Eze, who both took advantage of an assist from Michael Olise, meant that Palace’s advantage in the first half was not caught even until the second half ended.
This was Palace’s sixth win in 16 matches, drawing four and losing six. From 11th place, The Eagles still have a chance to fly high, approaching the top five if they are able to take advantage of the advantage of one postponed match to the maximum while continuing to win.
The reason is, Patrick Vieira’s camp is only six points behind the owner of seventh position, Fulham, who has played 18 matches. On the other hand, Palace must also be wary of the advantage of only one point from Aston Villa which continues to stick underneath.
In addition, Palace must also be wary of the toughness of its opponents from London considering the three defeats they experienced at Selhurst Park came at home to Arsenal, Chelsea and Fulham. Of course this also depends on whether Tottenham are able to get up and get back to winning ways.
The Lilywhites opened this year on a bad note – defeated Aston Villa 2-0 after being forced to share points with Brentford at the end of the year. As a result, its position in the standings is getting worse, is in fifth place with a collection of 30 points, five points behind Newcastle United and Manchester United, which are right above it.
On a head-to-head basis, this match was a golden opportunity for Antonio Conte’s side to gain points. A record of 33 wins out of 61 h2h meetings against Crystal Palace, including a 3-0 victory in the last meeting, is of course the starting capital before this visit.
The problem is, most of these wins were recorded by the Spurs against Palace. In contrast, Tottenham have not managed to win in their last four visits to Selhurst Park in various competitions – two draws and two defeats – since their last victory in November 2018 with a goal without reply.
