Man City Vs Crystal Palace Preview
Having issued a rallying cry to West Ham on the weekend, which ultimately fell on deaf ears, Pep Guardiola knows exactly what his side needs to do on Wednesday night. The Man City vs Crystal Palace odds certainly favour a home win and no matter how it is achieved, it is all that’s required to keep the title race alive.
City are currently five points behind Arsenal which can be trimmed to two. The Gunners recorded a controversial 1-0 win against the Hammers on MD36 which means they are the 1/7 Premier League title favourites. However, City will do their utmost to keep the pressure on the north Londoners.
As for Palace, they have achieved what appears to be another admirable, mid-table finish. Even after Oliver Glasner’s bombshell announcement he will be leaving Selhurst Park this summer, he can do so with legendary status.
The Eagles are the 4/9 favourites in the Conference League outright betting market. The final against Rayo Vallecano is surely the priority for the south Londoners. Having won the 2025 FA Cup – beating the Cityzens in the final – Glasner is widely considered as the club’s greatest ever manager and he won’t be too disheartened with a loss on Wednesday.
Man City Vs Crystal Palace H2H Record
In terms of the overall Man City vs Crystal Palace H2H record, it’s the Cityzens who come out on top. By a substantial margin, too. City have beaten Palace 40 times across all competitions having entertained just 18 defeats. Which is something to consider when it comes to Premier League betting on BetVictor’s Man City vs Crystal Palace betting markets.
In the PL era, City currently boast 20 wins compared to the Eagles three. But the most famous H2H meeting since the turn of the century came in last season’s FA Cup final. Eberechi Eze scored the only goal of the game to gift Palace their maiden major trophy.
Man City vs Crystal Palace H2H record in all competitions:

Man City Vs Crystal Palace Team News
Abdukodir Khusanov is an injury doubt for Man City having missed the 3-0 win over Brentford last time out. Nathan Ake is likely to fill the void once again should the Uzbek star not recover in time.

Man City Vs Crystal Palace Prediction
With the Premier League title slowly ebbing away from then, expect Man City to come out all guns blazing to keep firmly on the heels of rivals Arsenal. Crystal Palace are no pushovers but with their Premier League status secured and the small matter of a European final to navigate, getting through the match unscathered is Oliver Glasner’s main priority.
