Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Prediction 31 October 2026

Tottenham are priced at 1.58 to win at home. The hosts have recorded two victories, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches, while Crystal Palace have won once, drawn once and lost three times. Tottenham have shown signs of improvement with consecutive league victories, whereas Palace have struggled defensively, conceding 12 goals in their last four matches across all competitions. Playing at home, Tottenham will look to build on their recent progress and take advantage of their opponents' current difficulties.

Tottenham have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five matches. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 away victory over Chelsea on 24 October, following a 3-1 home win against Coventry. They also earned a 1-1 draw away to Manchester United but suffered a 2-3 home defeat to Aston Villa and a 1-3 loss away to Liverpool in the EFL Cup. Tottenham have scored nine goals across these five fixtures, demonstrating their attacking potential. Their consecutive league victories are encouraging, although the defeats against Aston Villa and Liverpool show that defensive consistency remains important.

Crystal Palace have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five matches. Their latest fixture ended in a 0-2 home defeat to Newcastle United on 25 October. Before that, they drew 2-2 away to Besiktas in the Europa League and suffered a heavy 0-5 loss away to Brighton. Palace also lost 2-3 away to Lyon before securing a 3-1 home victory over Nottingham Forest. They have scored seven goals and conceded 13 across these five matches, highlighting significant defensive problems. Their draw against Besiktas showed some attacking resilience, but the heavy defeats against Brighton and Lyon raise concerns about their ability to contain opponents under sustained pressure.

The main challenge for Crystal Palace will be to restore defensive organisation against a Tottenham side that has scored five goals across its last two league victories. Tottenham's pace and attacking movement could create problems for the visitors, particularly if Palace leave space behind their defensive line. The hosts will also need to remain alert to counterattacks, as Palace have demonstrated that they can score multiple goals when given opportunities.

Tottenham's recent league form, home advantage and Crystal Palace's defensive struggles make the hosts the preferred selection. Palace could still pose a threat going forward, but their recent results suggest that containing Tottenham for the full 90 minutes will be difficult. A home victory looks like a reasonable outcome based on the teams' current performances.
