Crystal Palace’s take on Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday in a game where both sides could do with collecting three points.
- Date: 28/12/2025
- Kick-off: 4:30pm
- Location: Selhurst Park, South London
Palace come into this on the back of a difficult run, with no wins in their last four home league matches and both teams failing to find consistency in the final third. Across Palace’s league campaign to date, over 2.5 goals has landed in roughly 53–54% of their games, suggesting they are involved in slightly more open fixtures than a typical mid‑table side. BTTS has also occurred in around half of Palace’s recent matches in all competitions, indicating a reasonable balance between their ability to score and their vulnerability at the back.
Tottenham’s recent league fixtures have been more volatile. Over a 10‑game sample, 70% of their matches at home have seen over 2.5 goals, and their overall over‑2.5 rate in the Premier League last season was 63%. BTTS has landed in 50% of Spurs’ recent matches, reflecting that while they score regularly, they also concede often, especially when pressed away from home.
Palace’s home data show a side that is competitive without being prolific. Over their last 10 home games in all competitions, they have 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats, averaging around 1.30 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per match. Those fixtures have produced an average of 2.40 goals per game, with over 2.5 goals in 4 of 10 and BTTS in 6 of 10 home outings. Palace have failed to score in 3 of their 8 home league matches this season, underlining some inconsistency in attack at Selhurst Park.Spurs’ away record has been less convincing recently, with no wins in their last five away league games. Over a 10‑match away sample, they average about 1.70 goals scored and 1.00 conceded, for 2.70 total goals per game. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 4 of those 10 away fixtures, with BTTS in 4, pointing to a profile that is still fairly open but a touch more restrained away from north London than at home.
Season‑long data show that over 2.5 goals has landed in around 54% of Palace’s games and 60–70% of Spurs’ recent fixtures, making this one of the more likely match‑ups on the card to pass the three‑goal mark. BTTS have been hitting in roughly half of each team’s recent games, with Palace slightly higher at home and Spurs slightly lower away, which points towards a fair but not overwhelming chance that both sides get on the scoresheet.
Crystal Palace 2-2 Tottenham
