Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Predictions and Betting Tips

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal betting tips and predictions for the 12.30pm kick-off in the Premier League on Saturday 11^th January and a 17/2 same game multi tip.

This 12.30pm kick-off will be a tough test for Mikel Arteta’s side but the new manager has got Arsenal playing well and working hard. Granit Xhaka has decided to stay at the club after speculation about his future so he is likely to start in midfield, and makes it into our betting tip.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Predictions

Crystal Palace have drawn four of their last six fixtures

Lacazette has been out of form but he’s now playing a more central role under Arteta.

Granit Xhaka is the man Arsenal rely on to break up opposition attacks.

Arsenal have won their last two games vs Man United (2-0) and Leeds (1-0) in the FA Cup.

 

Alexandre Lacazette to score anytime

The first selection is for Frenchman Lacazette to score in the match. He has been starting alongside Aubameyang in recent games and Arteta seems to like to see the two forward play together, with one pulling out wide. Lacazette played through the middle more against Manchester United last time out so hopefully, he does again.

He has only scored five goals so far this season but I’m expecting a high scoring match here so he looks a good bet at much more generous odds than Aubameyang is, especially with Mesut Ozil coming back into good form.

 

Granit Xhaka to be shown a card

This selection should be a staple for any Arsenal match when you’re picking a request a bet or same game multi. The midfielder is always diving into tackles or breaking up the play illegally and he should get booked more than he does in truth.

Despite only getting four yellow cards so far this season, he will be tasked with breaking up Crystal Palace counter attacks involving Wilfried Zaha this weekend, so it would be no shock at all to see Xhaka go into the book.

 

Over 2.5 goals

The final selection in the Crystal Palace vs Arsenal betting tips is for over 2.5 goals to be scored in the match. This fixture has a history of being a high scoring one with the last six all having over 2.5 goals in.

More recently, even more goals have been scored and the last five matches have had over 3.5 goals with the two Premier League fixtures last season finishing in a 2-2 draw and 3-2 Arsenal win, and the points were shared earlier this season at the Emirates Stadium, when the sides drew 2-2.
