Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Arsenal enter their home clash with Crystal Palace on Wednesday night as favourites, as the Gunners have won three of their last four matches, while the Eagles have won just one of their last five games.

Mikel Arteta’s men sit 22 points ahead of Palace in the Premier League table and have actually beaten the Eagles in each of the last six head-to-head encounters, scoring 20 goals during those matches.

The Gunners have the second-best home record in the Premier League, as they’ve accumulated 35 points from 16 matches, while Oliver Glasner’s side have the eight-best away record, winning six, drawing five and losing five, scoring 22 and conceding 22 in the process.

During their two head-to-head clashes this season, Arsenal have managed to earn 5-1 and 3-2 wins, meaning that the Both Teams to Score market has landed on each occasion, something that we expect to re-occur here.

Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Crystal Palace

Arsenal hosts Crystal Palace in a battle between second and 12th in the Premier League standings.

Date: 23/04/2025

Location: The Emirates Stadium

Time: 8pm

As previously mentioned, Arsenal have managed to beat Palace twice already this season, with the first meeting between these two sides coming on 18th December in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, as Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eddie Nketiah got on the scoresheet for the Eagles.

Their last league encounter resulted in a 5-1 league win for the Gunners at Selhurst Park just three days later, as Gabriel Jesus (2), Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Declan Rice all got on the scoresheet.

Mikel Arteta’s men are all but out of the Premier League title race as they are 13 points adrift of Liverpool with just five games to go, meaning that a defeat here would hand the Anfield club just their second-ever Premier League title and a record equalling 20th top-flight title.

Something that the Gunners will be looking forward to is their Champions League semi-final tie with PSG, as the North London outfit aim to win that competition for the first time in their history. Arsenal recently managed to advance past Real Madrid via a sensational 5-1 aggregate scoreline.

Crystal Palace’s push for European football has taken somewhat of a dent of late following heavy defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle before a stalemate at home to Bournemouth. The Selhurst Park club sits five points behind eighth-place Bournemouth with five matches to go.

Like Arsenal, the Eagles will have their eyes set on cup competitions, as they will face Aston Villa in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on 26th April, having progressed past the likes of Stockport County (1-0), Doncaster Rovers (2-0), Millwall (3-1) and Fulham (3-0) in previous rounds.

Arsenal versus Crystal Palace will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HD.
