We have a full round of fixtures in the Premier League this weekend and our preview predicts goals in this game.

The match between Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace takes place on the 2nd of February at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The hosts begin the weekend in 5th place on 47 points while the visitors are in 13th place on 28 points.

Tottenham Hotspur come into the game on the back of a disappointing 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

Wolves opened the scoring shortly before half-time but Spurs equalised immediately in the second half. However, Spurs failed to build on their equaliser and Wolves scored the winner in the 63rd minute.

The defeat against Wolves means Spurs are undefeated in 3 of their 4 most recent fixtures in all competitions.

There have been wins over Brentford and Brighton at home in the Premier League plus a draw at Everton, also in the league.

Stats show Spurs have won 5 of their 6 most recent home matches in the Premier League. The wins have come over Newcastle United, Everton, Bournemouth, Brentford, and Brighton, with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals in all 6 victories.

Spurs are undefeated against Crystal Palace in 11 consecutive home matches in the league.

Crystal Palace make the short journey to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having beat Burnley 3-0 at home in the Premier League last weekend.

With the score 0-0 at half time, The Eagles took advantage of playing against 10 men in the second half, scoring goals in the 68th, 71st, and 79th minutes.

The win over Burnley was the first in 4 matches for Crystal Palace having previously lost at Brighton and at home to Chelsea in addition to a 1-1 draw at Everton.

Trends show Crystal Palace have been poor in recent away Premier League games and have failed to win any of their last 7 away trips in the league.

There have been defeats at Luton Town, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Brighton. Both teams have scored in 6 of Crystal Palace’s 7 most recent away matches in the Premier League and they have conceded 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 5 league games on the road.

Looking ahead to the team news and Spurs are without injured duo Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster. They also have doubts over the fitness of Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro, and Manor Soloman.

Crystal Palace have seven potential absentees, with Will Hughes, Marc Guehi, Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze, Rob Holding, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, and Nathan Ferguson all likely to be unavailable due to injury.

Spurs are usually entertaining to watch and with Crystal Palace scoring goals on the road, this game should see both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals in total. With home advantage and a good record against Crystal Palace, we predict a win for Spurs.
