Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Tips
Arsenal are already simply completing the current Premier League season, as even within the club everyone understands that making up a 13-point deficit to Liverpool in five games is simply unrealistic. Even taking into account that a direct clash awaits them on matchday 36. The Gunners are also unlikely to drop below second place, as they lead Newcastle by 7 points.
Despite this, Arsenal had no trouble dispatching Ipswich at the weekend, beating the bottom side 4-0 away from home. However, before that there were two consecutive draws against Everton and Brentford with the same 1-1 scoreline. Obviously, in those games Mikel Arteta’s team already lacked motivation.
Now Arsenal are looking to the Champions League, where they have surprisingly reached the semi-finals. In the quarter-finals, the Gunners surprisingly eliminated Real Madrid – 3-0 at home and 2-1 away. Now matches against PSG await them.
Crystal Palace, like Arsenal, have virtually no motivation in the table. There is no talk of a fight for relegation, and finishing in the top 8 and qualifying for European competitions will already be extremely difficult. Currently, the ‘Eagles’ are in 12th place with 44 points, and the gap to Bournemouth, who are eighth, is 5 points.
Oliver Glasner’s team does not come to the match against Arsenal in their best form. In the previous matchday, Crystal Palace drew 0-0 against Bournemouth, and before that they suffered two consecutive defeats: 0-5 against Newcastle and 2-5 away to Manchester City.
