Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
Arsenal and Crystal Palace face off at the Emirates on Tuesday evening, this time in the League Cup.
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Tips
Representing a repeat of last season’s quarter-final clash, Chelsea will await the winners of this tie in the last four, which is a mouthwatering prospect.
To build up anticipation for this game, we’ve settled on three betting tips, and these are inspired by pre-match odds floating about.
Tip 1: Arsenal to Win & BTTS
As mentioned, Arsenal saw off a spirited Palace to reach the semi-final stage last year.
A Gabriel Jesus hat-trick helped the Gunners come from behind to seal a 3-2 victory, and it was a terrific watch for the neutral.
Palace will be smarting after their 4-1 hammering away to Leeds last weekend. After a midweek defeat in Europe in the Conference League, they now have a two-legged play-off to keep their European dream intact, and the fixtures are piling up at the wrong time.
Arsenal, on the other hand, clinched a 1-0 win away to Everton last weekend to head into Christmas top of the Premier League. With the Champions League group phase pretty much sewn up, they can mount a serious assault on four competitions in 2026.
It will be interesting to see what side Mikel Arteta fields against Palace. Although the Gunners kept a clean sheet in a narrow 1-0 win in the league at the Emirates in October, I think we could be in for another thriller. Arsenal to win & BTTS has piqued my interest.
Tip 2: Time of First Arsenal Goal (16th to 30th minute)
Teams are becoming more accustomed to the Gunners’ style of play. Over the past couple of weeks, Wolves and Everton have tried to produce a low block and hit on the counter.
Of course, Arsenal can net from open play even though they have earned the tag of being corner specialists.
A common theme across the past three clashes in all competitions at the Emirates is that it has taken the Gunners some time to break Palace down. Well, certainly that was the case in two of them, and in the previous meeting, it took until the 39th minute for Eberechi Eze to break the deadlock.
I expect Arsenal to take the lead, and their first goal could arrive in the 16th to 30th minute range, which has decent odds attached.
Tip 3: BTTS, Arsenal to Win by 1 Goal, Palace Most Cards in Each Half
There has rarely been a drab game between these two sides, and the last goalless draw came nearly five years ago. BTTS feels like a good shout to kick off the bet builder.
Clashes between Arsenal and Palace recently have been quite tight, so the home side to win by exactly one goal is tempting.
Across the past few fixtures in all comps, the Eagles have beaten the hosts in the card count, so this could be fulfilled.
