Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace prediction, pick for Thursday 3/5/26

Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace prediction, pick for Thursday 3/5/26

Published:

By: Ciaran Doyle

Matchweek 29 of the Premier League concludes on Thursday as Crystal Palace travel to take on Tottenham.

Tottenham are +140 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +235. Fancy a Crystal Palace upset? The Eagles are +200 to pick up three points.

Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace Prediction, Pick

Both of these sides are in turmoil at the moment, but Crystal Palace seems like the slightly more stable team of the two.

The departure of Thomas Frank has not done any good thus far for Spurs, as his replacement, Igor Tudor, has lost each of his first two games in charge to Arsenal and Fulham. Tottenham’s miserable run of form in 2026 is becoming unfathomable, as Spurs have not won a league game this calendar year. Their last Premier League win came against this same opposition all the way back in December.

On the flip side, Crystal Palace have been up and down. They lost their last game to Man United, although a questionable penalty/red card decision went against them in that game when they were leading 1-0 at the time. Their previous four league results before that have been solid with two wins, a loss and a draw.

Neither of these teams are in fine form at the moment, but I’ll take a chance with Palace at these odds. The Eagles have the eighth-best away record so far this season, while Tottenham are tied with Burnley for the fewest home points collected. Palace also collected three points in their last trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning 2-0 last May.

This is a game between two struggling sides, but Palace have the edge.

The Pick: Crystal Palace Moneyline (+200)
