Premier League Matchday Odds, Picks & Predictions: Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal

Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal

The Matchday 2 action concludes on Monday afternoon as Crystal Palace hosts Arsenal at Selhurst Park. This one is slated for a 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff from London. 

I’m pretty confident in saying Arsenal finds the back of the net at least once in this tie. They scored two goals in their 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest last weekend. Those goal scorers were Eddie Nketiah (26’) and Bukayo Saka (32’). The club amassed 14 shots (6 on target) while dominating 82% of the possession. 

However, Crystal Palace isn’t one of those teams that just rolls over and goes into a defensive shell €“ especially at home. Last year, the Eagles posted a 7-7-5 record at home and notched 21 goals. Those aren’t overwhelming numbers, but 28 of their 45 points (62.2%) came at their home ground. Arsenal’s decent in their own half, but I think Crystal Palace will do enough offensively to score at least once. In the last 10 head-to-head matches, this showdown has seen the over go 7-3. There have been 33 combined goals (AFC 18, CPFC 15). 

Bet: Both Teams To Score (-110)
