Match preview

Manchester City host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on 13 May 2026. Manchester City sit 2nd on 78 points and Crystal Palace are 15th on 45. Manchester City have won 4 of their last 5 (WWWDW), while Crystal Palace have won 1 of 5 (WDLLD). In their last 2 meetings, Manchester City won 2, Crystal Palace won 0 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
