Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Prediction (28.08.2026)

Crystal Palace parted ways with their successful manager Oliver Glasner and started the season with a loss – 0:2 away to Everton. Thus, Palace has not won in eight consecutive matches in the Premier League, but at the end of last season, they were mainly focused on the trophy in the Conference League, which they won. Otherwise, since February, only Arsenal has left the Palace pitch with a victory. Last season, the "Eagles" lost twice by 0:3 to Man. City.

Changes at Manchester City are also evident. Enzo Mareska began the season with a heavy loss to Arsenal, but at least his team managed to turn around Bournemouth at the end for a 2:1 home victory last week. However, questions remain, as City has only won four of their ten away matches in the Premier League in the calendar year 2026. Mareska has not won any of his last three visits while managing Chelsea.

Both teams have undergone key changes in recent months. It is still a mystery what we can expect from them. Yes, City is the favorite for victory, but I think that even if they reach it, it won't come easily.
