Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Prediction

In their two meetings last season, Arsenal won 5-1 on the road, while both teams had a 2-2 draw in Emirates. Arsenal has 6 wins and one draw in its last 7 meetings against Palace and over is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings.

In this Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Prediction, Arsenal is coming as -235 home favorites. Arsenal has been red-hot lately with five consecutive wins across all competitions and both teams had to play an extra mid-week game for the European championships. Both teams have top-4 defenses in the Premier League this season, allowing 1.38 goals per game combined and with both playing their third game in the span of one week, I expect tired legs and a more conservative approach. Take the under 2.5 goals in this one.
