Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Score Prediction

Three wins on the spin! That’s almost unheard of. And, to make it juicier, Arsenal have now won three Premier League away games in a row without conceding for the first time since 2013!

After a season of record-breaking tragedies, it’s nice to finally read some positive stats for a change.

Can Arsenal continue their hot streak? Palace, famously dreadful in front of goal, hit Aston Villa for three in their previous match with a solid 3-2 victory over Aston Villa, who admittedly have fallen off a cliff since Jack Grealish’s injury.

Being the Gunners’ bogey side doesn’t bode well for Wednesday but in a season where away form has been almost every side’s strong point, this is far from a done deal. However, 6,500 supporters will be on show in south London, something that is sure to boost the players’ spirits without the added incentive of putting on a show for Hodgson’s final home game in charge.

The Eagles will look to keep things tight at the back and get their two most exciting attacking talents, Eberechi Eze and Wilfried Zaha, on the ball whenever they can break out. The former is going to have a wonderful career in this division while the latter is enjoying his best scoring return in the Premier League to date.

Even Christian Benteke is finding the back of the net.

A physical encounter awaits for Arsenal and victory at Selhurst Park will come down to ensuring they can ride the challenges in the central third. Start winning some duels, which this side rarely does, and the quality in attack will see them through.

Might be a close one, though.

Only one reason to play Saka. dark. Next

Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-1 Arsenal
