Tottenham fans will adore Chris Sutton’s Crystal Palace score prediction after two month wait
Chris Sutton has delivered a verdict that may finally give Tottenham Hotspur supporters something to cling to ahead of another pivotal night in north London.
Tottenham Hotspur have been poor at home this season, winning just two of the 14 games they have played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It is one of the worst records in the division, with 20th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers the only side with a worse return on their own patch.
On Thursday night, it will be another home fixture for Spurs, and they will be desperate to turn their poor league form around.
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace prediction as Chris Sutton backs Spurs
Speaking to BBC Sport, Chris Sutton assessed Tottenham Hotspur’s dismal home form, the toxic atmosphere surrounding the club and the wider context of their clash with Crystal Palace, before delivering a prediction Spurs fans will welcome.
He said: “Tottenham’s home record is wretched – Wolves are the only top-flight team to have picked up fewer points than them on their own turf so far.
“The atmosphere there has been toxic all season anyway, and we are into territory where, if Tudor loses this, things could get even worse.
“I am not sure about Crystal Palace either, mind you. After a difficult few weeks, they actually looked good against Manchester United on Sunday but they will miss the suspended Maxence Lacroix here, who is important for them at the back.
“It would be against the odds, but I am going to back Spurs here. Their last league win came against Palace, at the end of 2025 – maybe they will get their first league win of 2026 against the same opposition.”
Sutton’s prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Palace.

Tottenham form compared to Crystal Palace ahead of fixture
When comparing both sides, Tottenham are in worse form, as Crystal Palace have managed at least two wins in their last five outings.
Spurs, on the other hand, are winless in their last five games, picking up just one point from a possible 15.
However, Tottenham can take heart from the fact that this fixture is one of the few they won earlier in the season.
The last league match they won came at Selhurst Park, where they secured a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Archie Gray. If they can repeat that feat, they will bring an end to what has been a barren run.
