Arsenal vs Crystal Palace: prediction for the EFL Cup match

2024-12-18 20:30

EFL Cup

Odds: 1.56

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last eight matches: five wins and three draws. Crystal Palace are also unbeaten in their last five games: two wins and three draws. In the last five meetings, Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace four times, while the Eagles won only once.

Arsenal

Arsenal began their current EFL Cup campaign in the Round of 32. In their first match, the Gunners crushed Bolton 5-1 and then confidently defeated Preston 3-0. Mikel Arteta’s team now has an excellent chance of reaching the semifinals of the tournament. The match will take place at their home ground, the Emirates Stadium, which is a significant advantage for Arsenal. This season, they remain unbeaten at home. However, in the last round of the Premier League, the Gunners played to a 0-0 draw against Everton. Arsenal currently sit third in the league table with 30 points, trailing the leader by six points.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace started their EFL Cup journey from the Round of 64. In the first round, they confidently defeated Norwich 4-0, followed by two hard-fought victories: a 2-1 win over QPR in the Round of 32 and a 2-1 triumph against Aston Villa in the Round of 16. Crystal Palace are in good form, having gone unbeaten in their last five matches. However, an away clash against Arsenal at the Emirates will be an extremely tough challenge, despite the team’s decent form.

Prediction

Our expert pick: Both teams are in good form, but Arsenal are the favorites in this match. The Gunners have a stronger squad and the advantage of playing at home, where they have yet to lose this season. I believe Crystal Palace will not be able to stop them.

My bet is Arsenal's individual total over 1.5 goals at odds of 1.56.
