Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 19/01/2024, 22:42  by Sridhar in Premier League Predictions

Arsenal will be desperately looking to halt their losing trend as they host Crystal Palace this weekend. This matchday 21 of the Premier League season will be played at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 4th in the standings with 40 points while the visitors are 14th with 21 points. Arsenal are only five points behind leaders Liverpool, but recent form puts them at risk of slipping further back. The Gunners lost 2-0 to Liverpool to get dumped out of the FA Cup, making it their third loss in a row in all competitions. In fact, they have won just one of their last seven competitive matches – losing four and drawing two. That sequence included two straight defeats at this venue, which halted a run of seven straight victories prior to that.

Palace start this match five points above the bottom-three and aren’t in an imminent danger of getting dragged into the relegation zone. They are also coming off a defeat, a 1-0 loss to Everton in the FA Cup in a replay after drawing the previous leg. That made it just one win for the Eagles in their last 11 competitive matches, drawing four and losing six. The lone win came in the league though, in their last fixture of the Premier League when they won 3-1 against Brentford. Away form has been equally inconsistent with Palace failing to win their last four away league games, drawing and losing two matches each.
