Arsenal v Crystal Palace Betting Tips [18 December 2024]

Arsenal have the chance to rise from their recent slump when they take on Crystal Palace in the League Cup quarter-finals. Below we have a prediction for the match.

Arsenal haven’t tasted defeat in the last eight outings. However, the three draws in that period have been confidence-sapping and they’ll hope for a statement win on Wednesday.

While they’ve dominated this fixture, Arsenal’s last performance, in a 0-0 draw with Everton slash their ratings here. They are unbeaten in 15 home matches though and will hope to bounce back here. However, they lost twice in their last three matches against Premier League opposition.

Crystal Palace left it late but are finding their footing in the season and will definitely give Arsenal a run for their money. They come into this game having gotten their competitive edge, which has seen them rise off the bottom three in the league.

Palace eliminated Aston Villa in the last round. In their latest match, Palace beat Brighton 3-1 away from home in a league game. Each of their last three wins came on away trips and such stats will be enough to lift the team.

It can be an arduous task at the Emirates, where they haven't won on their last five visits.

Palace are slowly but surely getting into their stride in the season. There will be a step-up in the kind of challenge they face here but their recent run should build their confidence. Their matches have been highlighted by high scores and we don’t expect them to sit back either.

This will give Arsenal room to also show their attacking strength, and this combination might deliver a high scoring game. Our prediction for Arsenal v Crystal Palace is for the match to have over 2.5 goals.
