The Premier League calendar squeezes a full round of fixtures into the holiday schedule. After the Boxing Day matches and a few days of recovery, the Eagles will host Spurs at Selhurst Park on Sunday, 28 December, with kick-off at 16:30 GMT.
Palace often find an extra gear in front of a noisy Holmesdale Road stand, while Tottenham’s ability to scrape points away from home will be tested by a fixture that falls right between their match with Liverpool and a New Year’s Day trip to Brentford.
Crystal Palace vs Tottenham – Betting Odds
The markets reflect how bookmakers expect this match to play out. The prices below were correct at the time of writing but odds shift over time based on team news and injuries, so you should always check the latest odds for the match before placing your bet.
Below we cover the main markets for Crystal Palace vs Tottenham betting odds and explain what each type of wager means.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1X2 market (often called the match result or full‑time result) offers three options:
- 1 – a home win: you win your bet if Crystal Palace win the game in normal time.
- X – a draw: your bet pays out if the match finishes with a draw.
- 2 – an away win: you collect if Tottenham Hotspur win the match.
For punters who are new to football betting, it’s important to know that 1X2 bets are settled on the score at the final whistle.
At the moment Palace are slightly favourites, but the market is fairly even – note that both the draw and Spurs win are quoted at similar odds. Palace vs Tottenham odds can move significantly as team news emerges, so monitor the market before placing your bet.
| Crystal Palace win (1) | Draw X | Tottenham win (2) |
| 1/1 | 7/3 | 7/3 |
Double Chance Odds
Double Chance betting allows you to cover two of the three possible outcomes in one bet. By combining results, the bookmaker reduces risk and thus shortens the price. This market is good when you favor a side but want some insurance against a draw, or when you think the outsider is unlikely to win outright. There are three Double Chance options:
- 1X – Palace or Draw: you win if Crystal Palace avoid defeat. It pays out on either a Palace victory or a draw.
- 12 – Palace or Tottenham: this covers either team winning. A draw is the only result that loses.
- X2 – Draw or Tottenham: your bet lands if Spurs avoid defeat, meaning a draw or Tottenham win.
| 1X – Palace or Draw | 12 – Palace or Tottenham | X2 – Draw or Tottenham |
| 3/11 | 2/7 | 17/25 |
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap betting levels the playing field by giving the underdog a head start or the favourite a deficit. A -0.5 handicap on Crystal Palace means the home side must win by any margin, while Tottenham +0.5 covers an away win or a draw.
Longer‑odds handicaps such as -1 require Palace to win by at least two goals for the bet to pay out, whereas +1 on Tottenham wins unless they lose by more than a single goal.
This market is popular when bettors think one side is significantly stronger but want better value than the basic 1X2 odds.
| Handicap | Crystal Palace | Tottenham |
| Crystal Palace (-0.5) Tottenham (+0.5) |
20/21 | 20/27 |
| Crystal Palace (-1) Tottenham (+1) |
19/10 | 4/11 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
With a Both Teams to Score market, often abbreviated to BTTS, asks a simple question: will both sides score at least one goal in the match? You are not concerned with which team wins, you only need to predict whether the game will feature goals for both teams.
A Yes bet wins if Crystal Palace and Tottenham both find the net. A No bet wins if at least one team fails to score.
| Yes | No |
| 11/14 | 12/13 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Goal Total or Over/Under betting focuses on the combined number of goals scored by both teams. The bookmaker sets a line (often 2.5 or 3.5 goals, but you can choose) and you decide whether the actual total will be over or under that number. The fraction 0.5 ensures there is no possibility of a push, every match will fall on one side or the other.
Betting Over 2.5 goals means you need three or more total goals to win. Under 2.5 goals pays out if the match has two or fewer goals. Punters often use recent form, head‑to‑head records and attacking/defensive statistics to decide which side to take.
| Over 2.5 goals | Under 2.5 goals |
| 10/11 | 10/13 |
Correct Score Odds
Correct Score betting requires you to predict the exact final scoreline. Because there are many possible outcomes, prices are usually much higher than other markets. The risk is significant – one late goal ruins your bet – but the potential reward attracts punters who fancy a specific scenario.
When selecting a correct score, consider both teams’ scoring records and tactical approaches. The table below lists popular options such as goalless draws and narrow Palace victories.
| 0–0 | Palace 1-0 | Palace 1-1 | Palace 2-1 |
| 9/1 | 13/2 | 16/3 | 15/2 |
