Our Prediction for Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
The Emirates giant finished second last season, not behind Manchester City this time, but behind Liverpool—by a significant margin. Now, they are aiming to finally take the lead, and overall, they are doing quite well. However, they've already lost to Liverpool, and only managed a draw against City in the final minutes. In the last round against Fulham, one goal was enough for another win. And in the Champions League, they started off with confident victories. This week, they even managed a rout against Atletico.
Their neighbor, under Glasner, recovered from the problems of the first half of last season and found good form. Yes, they finished 12th in the Premier League with 53 points. But they did win the cup in the spring. The new football year began with a Super Cup victory over Liverpool in a penalty shootout. Then, they went unbeaten—including in the Conference League—until October and a 1-2 loss to Everton. After the break, they had an entertaining 3-3 draw with Bournemouth. This week, they unexpectedly lost at home to AEK Larnaca in European competition.
Arteta's men score an average of 1.88 goals while conceding only 0.38 in return. Mateta and company have a modest but decent ratio: 1.5 goals scored and 1 conceded per match.
