Manchester Utd vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips (26 September)

3rd in the Premier League last year and thus qualified for the Champions League, the start of the season for Erik ten Hag's Man United is very difficult. After two successes in 3 matches, at home for the reception of Wolverhampton Wolves 1-0 and N.Forest 3-2, the content sorely lacked consistency and fluidity. Man United will soon be punished with defeats at Arsenal 3-1 and at Old Trafford against Brighton 1-3 in order to get the month of September off to a good start.

The Champions League will also not do any favors for the Dutch coach's players, Bayern Munich as boss won the 3 points in the Allianz Arena last week 4-3. Expected at the turn last weekend at Vincent Kompagny's Burnley, a small 0-1 victory will do the job.

Physical problems punctuate the start of the season for the locals unfortunately. Manchester United is decimated at the start of the year. Executive and international defenders Wan-Bissaka and Shaw, as well as left back Malacia and the little or no used Mainoo and Diallo are all absent. For other reasons, disappointing wingers Sancho (behavioral problems) and Antony (domestic violence) are not in the squad.

Aussies Varane and rookie Amrabat are available, both came on against Burnley in the second half (last quarter of an hour). Finally Maguire and Mount hope to be done with their injury and are uncertain. 3 Premier League matches for Hojlund (ex-Atlanta), the most expensive recruit in the summer transfer window: 0 goals.
