Tottenham host their final London derby of the 2024–25 season when Crystal Palace visit for a Premier League showdown on Sunday, May 11, at 2:15 pm (UK time).

Over 2.5 goals (11/20 with Betway)

No venue has seen more Premier League goals this season than Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with 63 netted across 17 matches. Spurs have netted 34 times while conceding 29. This means 3.7 goals per game, with 13 of those games having seen over 2.5 goals, including the last three played. There isn’t much riding on this game which could lead to an open encounter between two sides with attacking threat.

Jean-Philippe Mateta anytime goalscorer (11/10 with Betway)

Only Mohamed Salah, with 11 goals, has scored more Premier League goals in 2025 than Jean-Philippe Mateta (10), who is averaging one every 102.1 minutes. Furthermore, only Chris Wood (65%) has better shooting accuracy (61.54%) among those netting at least five goals and playing at least half the available minutes this year. The 27-year-old has been in fine form this season, finding the net 22 times in 48 appearances in all competitions.

How both teams go into Tottenham vs Crystal Palace

Tottenham have lost 19 games this season, their joint-most defeats in a Premier League campaign, along with the 1993–94 and 2003–04 seasons. The most recent setback—a 5–1 loss at Liverpool—was the joint-heaviest Spurs have suffered in the league under Ange Postecoglou and guarantees that they will finish a top-flight season in the bottom half for the first time since 2007–08 (11th). Understandably, the Lilywhites might direct all their energy towards the Europa League final, with success meaning qualification for the Champions League.

Tottenham made the final on Thursday evening, with a 2-0 win over Bodo/Glimt securing their place in the showpiece final against Man Utd. It comes down to an all or nothing tie to save the seasons of those clubs with such disappointing domestic season punctuating their campaigns. Last time out Tottenham secured a 1-1 draw with West Ham but that wasn’t enough to drag them further away from their current position of 16th.

A five-game unbeaten run from late February to mid-April, which saw Crystal Palace secure four wins and one draw, promised a strong finish to their 2024–25 campaign. But the wheels came off with back-to-back heavy losses on the road against Manchester City and Newcastle, in which they conceded five goals on both occasions. They have since collected a pair of draws (0–0 vs. Bournemouth and 2–2 at Arsenal), as well as reaching the FA Cup final. So, understandably, the players’ focus will be on ensuring they are healthy for the Wembley showpiece against Man City.

It’s been three draws in a row for Crystal Palace, which is indicative of their season so far where they have drawn 13 games. It’s been over a month since Palace tasted victory in the league, with a 2-1 win over bitter rivals, Brighton giving them their last victory. It’s all eyes on the FA Cup final for Eagles fans, with nothing to play for except pride in the league.
