Crystal Palace's early season has been dark. The team is in 18th place in the Premier League, and for the whole autumn the team has played without a win, the balance 0-3-5 is weak, and the team has to seriously fight for its place in the league if they continue to perform on this low level. Palace has been ineffective throughout the autumn season, even though great expectations were placed on Mateta as the number one striker, and the team also acquired Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal specifically to strengthen the attacking end. The results to show? Two goals combined for those two, in 8 league games!

All in all Palace has scored only 5, and the only consolidation is that they are underperforming their xG strongly, the lack of self-confidence is showing. Their goal difference is 5-11, but as they have also given worth of 15 goals xG to the opponents they have also been lucky in defending their own goal. It seems that the Palace matches are just doomed to be low-scoring ones!

Maybe this is an exception tonight?

There are problems with the structure of the game, and when self-confidence is low, even matches are difficult to turn in their favor. In their previous match, Palace narrowly lost 0-1 away to Nottingham Forest. The match was like Palace's entire autumn season in miniature. There are also absences: Holding, Matheus Franca, Riad and Richards, and possibly Doucoure are on the sidelines.

Tottenham has not started their second season under Ange Postecoglou as brightly as they did last season, but the team's game shows the maturity and sense that was needed last season. Spurs' balance from the early season matches is 4-1-3, with which the team is eighth in the Premier League, and in a good position to fight for European places. The team also plays in the Europa League, AZ Alkmaar was beaten 1-0 at home on Thursday night, Spurs are in second place in the first group stage and it looks good for them on that front too.

Spurs has been active on the offensive end this autumn as well, and the team's scoring potential is huge. Solanke has improved his grip at the top round by round, and Brennan Johnson, Kulusevski and Maddison have also played a top early season. Spurs have played the previous five matches with an average of 2.5 goals, which should also be enough for an away win against the weak Palace. The formation situation is relatively good, only Son is a bigger name who continues on the sidelines.

Spurs have been clearly on top in the teams' previous meetings, the team has won all of the last four meetings. Palace's early season has been more difficult than expected, and the team is playing with really low self-confidence, I see Tottenham running into the win already in the first half. Perhaps there is a consolidation goal to Palace, Nketiah?

水晶宫赛季初的表现一直黯淡无光。球队在英超排名第18位，整个秋天球队都没有赢过一场比赛，0-3-5的平衡很弱，如果他们继续在这种低水平上表现，球队必须认真争取联赛中的位置。整个秋季赛季，水晶宫一直表现不佳，尽管人们对马塔作为头号前锋寄予厚望，球队还从阿森纳引进了恩凯提亚来加强进攻端。结果如何？这两个人在8场联赛中一共进了两个球！

总的来说，Palace只得到了5分，唯一的巩固是他们在xG上表现不佳，自信心的缺乏正在显现。他们的净胜球是5比11，但由于他们也给了对手15个进球，他们在捍卫自己的进球方面也很幸运。看来皇宫的比赛注定是低分的比赛！

也许今晚是个例外？

游戏结构存在问题，当自信心不足时，甚至连比赛都很难对他们有利。在上一场比赛中，水晶宫客场0-1惜败诺丁汉森林。这场比赛就像宫殿整个秋季的缩影。同样缺阵的还有：霍丁、弗朗卡、里亚德和理查兹，可能还有杜库尔。

热刺在波斯特科格鲁的第二个赛季没有上赛季那么亮眼，但球队的比赛表现出了上个赛季所需要的成熟和理智。从赛季初的比赛来看，热刺的平衡是4-1-3，球队在英超排名第八，在争夺欧洲席位方面处于有利地位。这支球队也参加了欧联杯，周四晚上阿尔克马尔在主场0 - 1被击败，热刺在小组赛第一阶段排名第二，他们在这方面看起来也不错。

热刺这个秋天在进攻端也很活跃，球队的得分潜力是巨大的。索兰克一轮又一轮地提高了他在顶级联赛的控制力，布伦南·约翰逊、库鲁塞夫斯基和麦迪逊也在赛季初发挥出色。热刺在之前的五场比赛中，场均进球数为2.5球，这也足以在客场战胜实力较弱的水晶宫。阵型形势比较好，只有孙兴慜是一个更大的名字，他继续在场边。

马刺在两队之前的交锋中明显处于领先地位，球队在最近的四次交锋中都取得了胜利。水晶宫赛季初的表现比预期的要困难，球队在比赛中缺乏自信，我看到热刺在上半场就已经取得了胜利。也许你有一个巩固宫殿的目标，恩凯蒂亚？
