If you want to get your hands on a betting bonus for the game you are in exactly the right place. Our sports betting experts have studied the formbook and assessed the key stats in order to bring you their big prediction for the match.

Since Roy Hodgson returned as Palace boss in March, the Eagles have been in excellent form. They achieved a highly creditable 11th place finish last season and began this campaign with a 0-1 win at Sheffield United.

This week’s news from Selhurst Park news has been dominated by the transfer saga surrounding star player Michael Olise. But with the Frenchman eventually opting to stay with Palace and sign a new contract, Hodgson’s men will come into this game in high spirits.

Arsenal’s 2022/23 title bid ultimately ended in failure, but overall it was a successful season for the Gunners. A second place finish and return to Champions League football means that Mikel Arteta’s men come into the new campaign in a confident mood.

The Summer signings of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz have added an extra dimension to the Arsenal squad, but whilst their opening day victory over Notts Forest was competent, it did little to suggest that they could challenge for the title. Victory at Selhurst Park would be a far more impressive scalp.

Palace have won just two of their last 12 games against Arsenal. The Gunners completed a league double over their rivals last season and hold an overall 31-6 lead in the head-to-head. The Eagles' last victory in the fixture was a 3-0 home success in April 2022.

When looking at the football betting odds for the game, it is important to have a firm understanding of the latest statistical highlights relating to the matchup. If you assess the key stats below, it will help you find a winning bet for the game.

Most betting apps have Arsenal priced as 3/5 favourites for the game. The home team can be backed at around 27/5, with the draw best priced at 16/5.

This is a very tricky game for Arsenal. Palace are unbeaten at home since Hodgson took over and have a very talented young team. We simply can’t recommend backing an Arsenal victory in this one.

No side drew more home games than Palace last season and we think they will begin this home campaign with another stalemate. If you are feeling adventurous, we like the look of the 1-1 draw at 7/1, but our recommended tip for the game is a draw at 16/5.
