Recent results

To say Spurs are struggling in 2026 would be something of an understatement. The North Londoners are yet to win a Premier League match since the turn of the year, losing each of the last four vs Manchester United (2-0), Newcastle (1-2), Arsenal (1-4) and Fulham (2-1).

Palace have fared slightly better in the top flight of late, with two wins in the last four vs Brighton (0-1) and Wolves (1-0). However, Oliver Glasner’s side surrendered a 1-0 lead at Old Trafford last Sunday to lose 2-1, with Maxence Lacroix also sent off.

Head-to-head record

Spurs won 1-0 at Palace earlier in the season, but had lost the previous two games vs the Eagles – including a 2-0 home defeat last term.

But overall, Spurs have won six of their last seven home games against Palace.

Team news

Spurs’ injury crisis is easing slightly, but Wilson Odobert, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall and Destiny Udogie remain absent. Cristian Romero is serving the final match of his four-game ban, while Djed Spence is a fitness doubt.

Cheick Doucoure, Eddie Nketiah, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jefferson Lerma are ruled out with injury for Palace, while Lacroix is suspended following his red card at Old Trafford.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Odds

*All odds are subject to change

Rather surprisingly, Spurs are the favourites ahead of kick-off at a price of 2.35. A victory for Palace is at odds of 3.11, while the draw is 3.31.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Betting Tips

Player to score or assist – Ismaila Sarr @ 2.30

Sarr is Palace’s most threatening attacker, and will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing Spurs’ leaky defence. The Senegal international has two goals in his last five Premier League appearances, both of them scored away from home!

Jorgen Strand Larsen to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 1.50

Strand Larsen is Palace’s new main No9, and he should be recording at least one SOT in a fixture such as this. The Norwegian tallied four SOT in his first four appearances for the Eagles since joining from Wolves in January.

Double chance – Crystal Palace win or draw @ 1.58

Spurs are yet to win a top-flight game in 2026, and have claimed just two home victories from 14 attempts this season. Furthermore, Palace are eighth in the division’s away table with six wins on the road, so the numbers suggest a result-themed bet tilted in the visitors’ favour is the way to go.
