APWin Prediction

Arsenal Win

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Arsenal to win

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace has all the makings of a competitive battle between two sides that are both eyeing an important win. But we are ever so slightly leaning toward Arsenal to win on the 1X2 market.

Arsenal will enjoy home advantage, which they have capitalised on with their strong form at home. They remain good value to win with their odds, and we expect them to pay out those odds with all three points at home.

👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

Arsenal and Crystal Palace are two attacking sides who have what it takes to make this an entertaining and eventful match.

That's why we highly recommend taking the bet of over 2.5 goals. The bet wins if there are 3 or more goals scored in the match, and if there are 2 goals or fewer, the bet loses.
