Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction 19.03.2023

• Competition: England - Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 19th, March 2023
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15.00 CET
• Venue: Emirates Stadium (London)

Arsenal experienced elimination from the Lisbon Lions in the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League in the middle of the week after the penalty "roulette", and considering that they ended their participation in the EFL and FA Cup in England at an early stage, The Gunners have nothing left but to maximum focus on only one goal - and that is winning the Premier League title. The team from the "Emirates Stadium" currently holds everything in their hands, as they are leaders with 66 points won, which means that they are only five steps above the defending champions and the closest companion Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace seems to be subscribed to the middle of the table. The Eagles, since they landed in the Premier League (for a decade), did not fear for survival in the company of the best, but it is also an interesting data that in each of the ten seasons so far, they finished between 10th and 15th those positions in the table. Judging by the current results, it seems that Crystal Palace's ultimate reach will once again be somewhere around mid-table. However, they will have to be very careful in the coming period, considering that only three points separate them from the relegation zone.

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Betting Tips: AH1 (-1.5)

Mikel Arteta, frustrated by elimination from the UEFA Europa League, will require an immediate reaction from his chosen ones, keeping a comfortable distance in relation to Guardiola's Manchester. Arsenal will have a special motive against their local rivals on Sunday, given that they have not defeated them at the Emirates for five years.

By the way, The Gunners achieved a routine 2-0 triumph over Crystal Palace on the opening day of this year's edition of the Premier League and it is increasingly certain that we will watch a replay from the first duel. The standings, the form, the quality, the home field ... all this is on the side of Arsenal, who should once again prove their power.

The Red and Whites from London managed to overcome the crisis from late January to mid-February and now seem unstoppable on the way to the first Premier League title after 19 years. Arsenal does not intend to take off the foot from the gas, and last week they recorded their fifth consecutive league victory against Fulham (3-0).

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, is going through a result agony in recent months that they haven't faced for a long time. They achieved their last triumph on the last day of last year (2-1 vs Bournemouth), and since then they have registered five draws and suffered seven defeats, so it is no wonder that their survival is threatened.

Patrick Viera tried everything to rescue his team from the crisis, but to no avail. The club management no longer had patience for the Frenchman, as the squad from "Selhurst Park" is sinking deeper and deeper, so the former Arsenal player's term on the Crystal Palace bench is over. The last straw was the defeat against Brighton, the third in a row.

The fact that The Eagles in three of the last four challenges of the Premier League did not record a single shot on target sounds alarming and not to mention that they tied four league games without scoring a goal. Taking into account all the problems of the guests, anything but a routine victory for Arsenal would be a surprise!
