Arsenal 2, Crystal Palace 1
Money line (ML)
PASS on the money line.
I like Arsenal to win this game, especially at home. They’ve been playing well following the Covid-19 outbreak that hurt them early. Following a 5-0 thrashing by Man City, Arsenal has won three of four.
However, at -135, I don’t think the value is worth it. I do like BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE at -120 though.
Arsenal has just five goals on the season but has scored in three of their last four. Crystal Palace also averages over a goal per game. While the money line doesn’t offer great value, betting both teams to score does.
Over/Under (O/U)
“LEAN” to the OVER 2.5 (-108) as Arsenal’s offense is coming around. They’ve scored just five goals on the season yet dropped three on Tottenham a few weeks ago.
Led by a stud striker and a defense that’s allowing more than a goal per game, Arsenal should both be able to get on the board and enable Crystal Palace to.
As for Crystal Palace, they’ve scored five in their last eight. They’ve only been held scoreless by Brentford and Liverpool, two of the best five defenses in the EPL.
The Over is the better bet given their success this season and Arsenal’s return to full strength.
