Why Bet on Arsenal?

Arsenal will have to settle again for the Premier League runner-up spot, as Liverpool is just one win away from claiming the crown. With 66 points, Arsenal sits in second place, five points ahead of Manchester City, so they must keep winning to hold onto that position.

After back-to-back 1-1 draws against Everton and Brentford, they bounced back with a 0-4 win over Ipswich, with a brace from Leandro Trossard and goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri. The ‘Gunners’ are now unbeaten in seven matches, though only three were wins.

There’s no doubt Mikel Arteta and his team have their minds on the Champions League, as they host PSG next week in the first leg of the tournament’s semifinals, so it’s very likely that several regular starters will be rested in the league.

The injury list includes Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Jorginho.

Why Bet on Crystal Palace?

Crystal Palace is fighting for a spot in the Conference League. With 44 points, they sit in 12th place, five points behind Bournemouth in eighth. Coincidentally, they faced the ‘Cherries’ in their last match but couldn’t break the deadlock, settling for a goalless draw at home.

The only positive was that they snapped a two-game losing streak, during which they conceded 10 goals to Manchester City and Newcastle. However, defender Chris Richards was sent off and will miss the next match.

Palace also faces a tough test this weekend as they play a one-off semifinal against Aston Villa. They have a golden opportunity to reach the final of the FA Cup, something they last did in 2016 but failed to win. As a result, the team is likely to field a mix of starters and reserves. Cheick Doucouré and Chadi Riad remain sidelined with injuries.

They have a good on-the-road season, with six wins, five draws, and five losses, scoring 22 goals and conceding 22. The bad news is that they have earned one of the last nine points.

Final Betting Analysis: Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace

This will likely be a match where both teams use backup players due to their upcoming semifinals just a few days later, which opens the door for potential surprises. However, we believe Arsenal has the scales tipped heavily in their favor and should come away with the win.

The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor Arsenal, with their Moneyline set at 1.40, Crystal Palace at 8.75, and a draw at 4.99.

The last time these two met was on December 21, 2024, and Arsenal won convincingly on the road, 1-5, with goals from Gabriel Jesus (2), Havertz, Martinelli, and Declan Rice. The ‘Gunners’ are on a six-game winning streak against Palace, who haven’t won an away game in this fixture since 2019.

Go for a straight win for Arsenal in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 1.40, you will gain $40 for a total payout of $140.
