Man City vs Crystal Palace Prediction, 6:30 p.m. April 12: No way back

Prediction before Man City vs Crystal Palace match

In the Premier League rankings so far, Man City has 52 points after 31 matches, ranking 6th. Guardiola's team is one point behind Newcastle and has played one more match than their opponent. As the tournament has entered the countdown stage, "The Citizens" cannot afford to make any more mistakes, otherwise it will be difficult to win a place in the Champions League next season.

With the Premier League having 5 places in the Champions League next season, more opportunities have opened up for Guardiola and his team. But first, Man City must decide their own fate by not making any more mistakes. Winning against Palace is a must for Man City. Especially when in this round, Newcastle faces MU.

Man City's opponent tonight, Palace, has almost run out of goals to strive for. Palace currently has 43 points, ranking 11th. Palace has secured its place in the Premier League this season. And competing for a European Cup spot is an impossible goal for the London club.

A big win for Man City is the scenario predicted by experts for the match at Etihad. At this time, Man City still has 2 goals to strive for, which are to enter the top 5 of the Premier League and face Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals. The FA Cup semi-finals are still far away, so Man City will focus all their efforts on the Premier League, first of all, welcoming Palace.

Man City cannot afford to stumble again.

Form, head-to-head record Man City vs Crystal Palace

Man City drew with MU in the most recent Premier League match. That was not a bad result for Guardiola and his team, as they played as underdogs. In the last 4 matches, Man City won one, drew two and lost one. The defending champions' form is still too erratic. That is a warning for Man City before welcoming an opponent that is not easy to bully like Palace.

In contrast, Palace beat Brighton in their last match. In their last five Premier League matches, the London club have won four and drawn one.

In the first leg on December 7, Palace held Man City to a 2-2 draw. In the most recent Premier League clash between the two clubs, Crystal Palace also held Man City to a 2-2 draw. These are statistics that show that "The Citizens" cannot underestimate their opponents.
