Tottenham sit just four points above relegation after losing their last four Premier League games in a row.
With Spurs looking to avoid disaster, I believe the London Derby against Crystal Palace will be packed with action, and I will go for goals rather than the moneyline.
Here are my Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace predictions and free betting picks for Thursday, March 5.
Premier League predictions for Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
My Tottenham vs Crystal Palace best bet: Over 2.5 (-130 at Sports Interaction)
Tottenham’s defensive issues aren't a blip. They’ve conceded at least twice in eight straight Premier League matches. That’s a clear pattern, not bad luck.
Seven of their last eight league games have gone Over 2.5, underlining how open their matches have become.
Crystal Palace sit six points above Spurs, but they haven’t been convincing either. They’ve shown defensive weaknesses of their own in recent months and lost touch with the European seats.
With both sides struggling at the back but carrying an attacking threat, the chance for goals is solid.

Tottenham vs Crystal Palace same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 2.5
Richarlison 1+ shots on target
Conor Gallagher 1+ shots on target
Over 9.5 corners
Richarlison recorded at least a shot on target in six of his last seven games for Tottenham. He's trying to make himself look like a threat as much as possible, so I'm counting on that for my SGP.
Conor Gallagher has scored more Premier League goals against Crystal Palace than any other opponent (four) in his career. Now back in the Premier League after a stint with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish LaLiga, Gallagher, who is also a former Palace player, is hungry to prove himself again.
He's already at five shots on target in seven matches, and I'm not omitting him.
I'm finishing with Over 9.5 corners. Tottenham average 4.93 corners per game, with Palace at 4.18.
