SlipsTips casts his eye over the Bet Builder market ahead of Crystal Palace’s clash with Manchester United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United (Wednesday, 20:00)
Manchester United will be aiming to move into second place in the Premier League table when they square off with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils’ remarkable resurgence under Erik ten Hag continued at the weekend as they staged a late comeback to claim the scalp of arch rivals Manchester City.
Crystal Palace, by contrast, slumped to a 1-0 defeat of London neighbours Chelsea, meaning they have now lost each of their last three matches in all competitions.
As such, Man United make the trip south as general 3/4 chances, however I’m going to opt for an alternative angle via the Bet Builder market by merging Manchester United to score, Over Three Manchester United Corners and Each Team to Receive Card at even-money (Bet 365).
In-form United have struck at least once in 16 of their 18 top-flight outings this term to date, including each of their last eight road trips, a sample that includes away days at Manchester City and Chelsea.
That doesn’t augur well for a Crystal Palace side that have managed to post just one Premier League clean sheet in nine attempts at Selhurst Park this season so far, and just four from their overall 18 outings thus far.
I’ll therefore back Manchester United to make the net bulge in the capital, and to nudge up the price, I’ll also go with 4+ United corners – a line ten Hag’s team have covered in nine of their last 11 league games.
With a keenly-contested affair anticipated under the South London lights, I’ll conclude the selection with referee John Brooks to show each team a card – something the Leicestershire-born whistler has done in seven of his nine Premier League assignments this season so far.
What’s more, these two teams are currently housed in the top-three of the disciplinary standings, with the Eagles earning an average of 2.33 cards per-game this season, while the Red Devils’ tally sits at a league-high 2.56.
With all that in mind, as well as the fact that this combination has clicked in six of United’s last eight league games, siding with the same even-money (Bet 365) wager on Wednesday night holds appeal.
