Crystal Palace have been in good Premier League form coming into the fixture with Millwall for a place in the FA Cup quarter finals.

Wins in fine style versus Fulham and Aston Villa have shown Palace to be playing with a high level of confidence and although they prefer to play on the counter-attack mostly, matches in previous rounds of the competition versus Stockport and Doncaster have shown that they have the capability to play a possession heavy game and that they have a ruthlessness to swat aside lower division opposition.

Crystal Palace’s last 8 matches have had over 1.5 goals with Palace achieving the feat themselves in 6 of those games. Since the start of 2025 Crystal Palace have scored twice or more versus Leicester, West Ham, Manchester United, Doncaster, Fulham and Aston Villa.

Crystal Palace’s Premier League matches this season average 2.52 goals per game with Millwall’s Championship matches having a lower average of 2 goals per game so taking on the 1.5 goal line rather than the 2.5 makes sense.

Eberechi Eze is averaging 3.4 shots per game in the Premier League this season with a shot on target ratio of 27%.

Eze’s shot numbers read 6-5-3-2-2-4-2-6-4-0-3-2-1-3-6-4-1-2-5-0-4-4-4.

Eze’s shot locations are a mix of inside the penalty area and from longer range making him a great option for a shot on target if Millwall operate a narrow back four prioritising protecting their penalty area.

Millwall centre-back Japhet Tanganga is averaging 0.96 fouls per 90 in the Championship this season.

His foul numbers read 1-2-0-0-1-0-2-1-0-1-0-3-2-0-3-1-1-0-0-1-1-1-0-1-4-0-2-1-2-1-1.

Like his team, Tanganga’s foul numbers have increased since the appointment of Alex Neil with him only blanking twice in his last 10 matches and 3 times making multiple fouls.

Crystal Palace have shown that they are very capable of playing in transitions which makes covering the handicap an option for betting purposes. If Palace take the lead and it forces Millwall to show more attacking purpose then Palace can pick off more goals on the counter-attack.

Crystal Palace have won 6 of their last 8 matches and have covered a one goal handicap in all 6 victories. They took the lead in all of those games.

Eberechi Eze is the most shot happy of Crystal Palace players but he is priced prohibitively and Jean-Phillipe Mateta isn’t too far behind him.

Mateta averages 1.9 shots per 90 across all competitions this season. Mateta has reached 3 shots in a game versus Norwich, Leicester, Aston Villa, Fulham, Ipswich, Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham and Manchester United.

On average Crystal Palace are fouled 11.52 per game across all competitions this season. Millwall’s fouls conceded per game is higher at an average of 13.11 fouls per game. This can be expected to be increased upon with the meeting of Premier League opposition for the first time this season.

Millwall have reached the target of 15 of 15 occasions this season but interestingly 8 times since Alex Neil was appointed manager on the 30th December meaning Millwall have made 15+ fouls in 8 out of 12 matches since Neil’s appointment.

Palace right wing-back Daniel Munoz is a force in both defensive and attacking phases of play.

Munoz has chipped in with 5 goals and 4 assists already this season. Munoz is averaging 0.86 shots per 90 this season with a 44% on target ratio.

He has taken a shot at goal in all of his last 6 matches including scoring in the last round of the competition versus Doncaster.
