Why this number

- Crystal Palace gets a home-venue bump.
- high data quality — Crystal Palace 119 matches of history, Tottenham Hotspur 119. Both clubs have a full record in this competition, so the ratings are well-established. The result is still inherently uncertain.
- Built from locked pre-match data: long-run team ratings, nudged only within tight caps by real, confirmed factors (never a guess) — see every one below.
Tactical read
Tactical read
AI-generatedPalace edge this one at home with a modest advantage in Elo and expected threat, yet the model flags genuine volatility. Spurs arrive as legitimate challengers who can exploit Palace's open play. Expect a tightly contested affair where small margins matter.
Key matchup
Palace's attacking thrust against Tottenham's capacity to break and punish.
Biggest factor
Palace's home advantage and control, offset by Spurs' proven ability to hurt teams on the counter.
