Premier League | Thursday 5 March 2026 | 20:00 | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The Tottenham vs Crystal Palace prediction suggests a tense London derby between two sides struggling for consistency.

16th-placed Tottenham Hotspur are in poor form and slipping toward the relegation battle, while Crystal Palace arrive slightly higher in 14th and with a stronger recent record in London derbies.

Recent trends point toward a tight game — especially with Thursday night Premier League matches averaging under one goal per game this season.

Top Scorers

Tottenham

Crystal Palace

Form & Momentum

Tottenham – Home Struggles

• Just 1 win in last 13 home league matches
• Lost six of last seven home London derbies
• Winless in 12 midweek Premier League games

Confidence at home has collapsed this season.

Crystal Palace – Strong Derby Form

• Lost only 1 of last 9 away London derbies
• Beat Spurs 2–0 in this fixture last season
• Higher in the table and slightly steadier defensively

Palace tend to stay compact and exploit transitions in derby games.

Tactical Outlook

Expect a cautious match:

• Spurs likely to dominate possession
• Palace to defend deep and counter
• Low tempo typical of midweek fixtures

The statistical profile strongly leans toward a low-scoring game.

Key Players

Conor Gallagher

Conor Gallagher has scored four Premier League goals against Crystal Palace — more than against any other opponent.

Oliver Glasner

Oliver Glasner has won both previous meetings against Spurs boss Igor Tudor during their Champions League encounters in 2022-23.

Tactically he may again frustrate Tottenham.
