Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction 20 January 2018
On January 20 2018 at 15:00 at the Emirates Stadium in London in the forthcoming match of the 24th game week of the English Premier League the local Arsenal are playing against their guests Crystal Palace.
It seems to us that the same things happen to Arsenal every year, in fact. In the latest game Arsenal played the away match against Bournemouth and it was an away one. It was surprising to see that Bournemouth looked rather equal to the Gunners. In that math Arsenal tried to cause pressure, they created chances and they were the first to score. Yet, they seemed to give up later and it was their mistake which made them concede two goals and lost 2:1 in the end.
As for Crystal Palace, they, in their turn, were actually likely to be packing their suitcases and go down to the Football League Championship but later they managed to show some particular progress in a very short period of time. In the latest game the Crystals outplayed Burnley with one goal scored. That victory was the second one in a row for the team in the national championship and it let them gain 25 points already which let them take the 12th position now.
The teams have already played five games against each other during the last five years and Arsenal won three times in them while CP only won once. In the first round game of the current season crystal Palace lost to the Gunners 2:3 at home. Arsenal are in horrible conditions now, in fact, and last time they met was actually in that same game against Crystal Palace on December 28. That’s why we aren’t so sure that the Gunners will manage to win with the convincing score this time.
