Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction: Eagles to fly high in North London

Tottenham Hotspur will eager to snap their current losing streak when they host Crystal Palace on Thursday night (20:00 GMT, live on TNT Sports 1). The hosts are without a win in 10 Premier League matches after their 2-1 loss to Fulham at the weekend, however Palace also lost by the same scoreline to Manchester United.

Read on for my Tottenham vs Crystal Palace predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Kevin Danso and Pedro Porro returned from injury against Fulham, however Djed Spence was ruled out prior to kick-off with a calf issue so his availability remains unclear.

Spurs' absentee list remains extensive - Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus and Rodrigo Bentancur all miss out through injury, while Cristian Romero remains suspended.

As for the visitors, Maxence Lacroix will be suspended for the trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after his controversial red card against Manchester United on Sunday, while Cheick Doucoure, Eddie Nketiah, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jefferson Lerma remain on the treatment table.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Odds

Spurs are 11/8 to claim a much-needed victory, the draw is 12/5 and it's 15/8 for a Palace win, giving the visitors an implied win probability of 34.8%.

Both teams to score is available at 8/11, and over 2.5 goals is currently available at 4/5.

Crystal Palace to win and both teams to score - yes @ 4/1

I'm backing Oliver Glasner's men to pile further misery upon Spurs here. Granted, Palace's away form is woeful, but Spurs' confidence looks shot at the moment, so it's hard to see them getting out of this slump.

Igor Tudor hasn't had a huge impact since entering the Spurs hotseat, and with the third-worst home record in the league, Thursday's hosts are starting to look in real trouble.

Spurs may be struggling but scoring hasn't been their major issue, as they've only drawn a blank in one of their last 12 games. Likewise, Palace are on a 10-game scoring streak, and with both sides missing some key players, there'll be defensive vulnerabilities for both teams to exploit.

Palace won this fixture last season, and despite Spurs actually winning six of the last eight meetings between the two sides - including December's reverse fixture - I fancy the Eagles to soar in North London.

Richarlison to score anytime @ 6/4

I've mentioned that I fancy Spurs to get on the scoresheet on Thursday, and the player I'm picking to do just that is Richarlison.

The Brazilian came off the bench against Fulham, after recovering from injury, to score his first goal of the calendar year, and the former Everton marksman has eight league goals to his name in 13 starts.

In addition, Richarlison had a goal disallowed in the reverse fixture earlier this campaign, so let's back the Brazil international to strike anytime here.
