It's looking good for Arsenal so far, with their 1st place in the Premier League table and hosting Crystal Palace (who are in 12th).

Insights:
  • Arsenal have the most scored goals in the second half (36) in Premier League
  • Crystal Palace is in the worst form (0-3-3)

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

It's no vacation for neither Arsenal nor Crystal Palace as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Crystal Palace form and stats

Crystal Palace have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-4-7 (13 played). Recent form does not give Crystal Palace much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Arsenal will be a tough nut to crack.

The attacking players of Palace have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 381 minutes.

Crystal Palace are travelling again after losing away to Brighton & Hove Albion (after extra-time) in their previous match (0-1). Weird, but true: this side has finished three consecutive league matches with the score 0-1!

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Manchester City (after extra-time).

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Crystal Palace played away with similar odds. This revealed 6 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 0 times, 1 were draw and the home team won as expected 5 times.

Few goals the story here? 9 of this side's most recent 10 league matches have had zero, one or two goals.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Palace have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
