Personal analysis: Manchester United's performance has not substantially improved after changing the new head coach. The main reason is the strength of the players on the field. In recent games, we can see that Manchester United's offense is basically based on two wingers. Diallo on the right and Ganacho on the left are the starting points of most attacks. The two have good ability to pass the ball without pressing and confrontation, but it is difficult to play the side attack effect when encountering a strong team in the upper middle. Especially in the center position, Hoylen, Zirkzee, and the midfielder Menou and B Fee are all shooters without the ability to make a final decision. Manchester United's overall offensive efficiency is relatively inefficient when facing strong teams. Manchester United's defense is basically solid. Maguire, Martinez and De Ligt are the best lineup at present, but this three-back formation is really not enough for the defense of the wing when facing Premier League teams. Crystal Palace is currently playing well without any injury problems. The passing ability of Sarr, Eze and center forward Mateta on the left and right sides is not bad, and they all have the ability to get rid of the shot. Monos and Mitchell on the wing can not only supplement the passing ability of the wing, but also cooperate with Hughes and Lerma in the middle to intercept and defend in the midfield area. Richards and Guei on the team's defense line are also relatively reliable. Crystal Palace's current lineup is not bad, and the passing and cooperation in the middle and front court are relatively smooth. There are no obvious shortcomings in the three lines of the team.
In terms of Manchester United's current offensive style and lineup strength, there is no obvious advantage when facing Crystal Palace, especially Crystal Palace has more passing points and holding points on the two wing than Manchester United, and the defense line is not worse than Manchester United. In this case, it is not an easy task for Manchester United to win Crystal Palace. Manchester United's home handicap of 0.5 goals in this game is reasonable, but judging from the current data, the support for Manchester United's victory is not high, especially in terms of physical strength, Crystal Palace will have more advantages. If Manchester United still relies solely on the two wing cross-court play, the chances of winning are not great, so in this game, Lao Li still recommends Crystal Palace + 0.5 win option, and the score is expected to be 1-1 or 1-2.
