At 22:00 Beijing time on October 30, the 10th round of the 2021-22 Premier League season will stage a focus battle, with the Blue Moon Army Manchester City sitting at home to face Crystal Palace.
Home team: Manchester City, as the defending champions of the Premier League, is one of the top giants in Europe. In the past four years, the team has also won 3 league titles and a runner-up. The last tournament was all the way to the Champions League final, but finally lost 0:1 to Chelsea, no chance to win the first Champions League in the history of the team, the new season of the team in the league performance is still continuing the previous outstanding results, after 9 rounds of 6 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, scored 20 goals and conceded 4 goals, 20 points in the league 3rd place, 3 points behind the top of the table Chelsea. The squad of the new season has not changed much, and it is still the squad that won the last championship. Raheem Sterling's lead partner Mahrez and Jesus on the offensive end remained fiery, with 20 goals in the nine league rounds being the third most numerous in the league. Midfielder De Bruyne's duo Rodri and Silva are able to control the rhythm of the pitch well and deliver more scoring opportunities up front. The defensive line of Cancello and Stones and Larport in the backfield is even more dense, conceding only 3 goals in the 9 rounds of the league, which is also the team with the fewest goals in the league. The last round of cup penalties were eliminated by West Ham United, in fact, these cups have always been chicken ribs for these big teams, and now the team can concentrate on the main league. Overall, this Manchester City team led by Guardiola is still promising.
Away: Crystal Palace is a weak squad in the Premier League, finishing 14th in the league last season. In recent years, the development of the team has always stood still, relegation is worry-free, and there is no hope of impacting medals. The new season team has also made some player adjustments, especially the personnel changes on the offensive end. He bought Oris from Reading, Eduard Celtic and then Gallagher on loan at Chelsea. But in fact, this wave of riots did not change the team much. At present, after 9 rounds of the league, 1 win, 4 draws, 4 losses, 11 goals and 14 goals conceded, with 9 points in the league ranking 15th. It is worth mentioning that the team has suffered four consecutive draws in various competitions recently, during which there is no shortage of teams with strong comprehensive strength such as Arsenal and Leicester City, which shows that the team's style of play is still quite tough. Crystal Palace have played 6 draws so far this season, the team with the most draws in the Premier League. Crystal has conceded goals in almost every game, the current goal conceding rate has reached 1.6 goals, the quality of the back line is still weak, facing the attacking strength of Manchester City, Crystal Palace is more fierce.
Analysis: The gap between the strength of the two teams is large, and the recent state is also very different. The mainstream agency gave the home team 2 goals with high water and 3.25 goals for the big and small balls. There has not been much change in the future market adjustment, which shows the unified attitude of various types of institutions. Combined with the fundamentals of the two teams and the confidence given by the institution, it is still inclined that both sides can play the score higher.
