Crystal Palace have been identified as a favourable opponent for Tottenham in the latest Premier League betting preview, with Spurs backed to win by two or more goals at Selhurst Park.

Tottenham arrive after consecutive victories, with the preview suggesting that Roberto De Zerbi’s team are beginning to show a clearer identity. Their recent improvement has also been reflected in their defensive numbers. Since De Zerbi took charge, Spurs have averaged 1.03 expected goals against per 90 minutes in the Premier League, a figure bettered only by Arsenal during that period.

Palace’s defensive form is presented as the key concern ahead of the fixture. The Eagles have conceded at least twice in 12 of their last 14 Premier League matches, a run that the betting analysis believes could leave them vulnerable against a Tottenham side starting to build momentum.

The recommended selection is Tottenham -1 at 11/8 with Sky Bet. That handicap requires Spurs to win by at least two goals, and the preview describes it as the standout bet of the weekend.
